Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide
Choosing a Location
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and
shocks. Locate the machine near a standard earthed electrical socket.
Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose
the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not
connect the machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the
unit’s memory. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets on the same
circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power
supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of
cordless phones. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of
the machine is not impeded.
We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to
protect the product against damage caused by a lightning strike.
4
Connecting the Power Cord
This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug.
IMPORTANT:
If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate
type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in
order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting
a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured
in accordance with the following code.
• Green-and-yellow : Earth
• Blue : Neutral
• Brown : Live
As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.
(See Acceptable Paper, page 29.)
When you use labels, envelopes, card stock or thicker paper, be sure to use
the manual feed slot.
Using the machine as a Printer 23
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)
The supplied printer driver for Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me and for Windows NT® Workstation
Version 4.0 enables manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the
printer driver.)
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows
driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper,
straighten it well, or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended.
Please ensure that after making the first print of your “DUPLEX PRINT JOB” the
printed sheet goes into the paper tray face-up. Please note the correct orientation,
as in the diagram.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that a paper jam
may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.

Manual Feed Slot
The machine has a manual feed slot above the paper tray. You can load envelopes and special print
media one at a time into this slot. You do not have to remove paper from the paper tray. (See
Acceptable Paper, page 29.)
Use the manual feed slot to print or copy on labels, envelopes, card stock or thicker paper. (See
Printing on Thicker Paper and Card Stock, page 26.)
If you use labels and envelopes, they must be of a type suitable for use with a laser
printer. If you use incorrect types it is possible to damage or contaminate the drum
surface and cause printing problems.
