Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the printer, turn OFF the printer and computer, remove the USB cable,
and then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet regularly, and clean the area around
the base of the power plug's metal pins and the AC power outlet with a dry cloth to
ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power plug is plugged for a long
period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the
power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
• Clean the printer using a slightly dampened cloth with water or a mild detergent
diluted with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable
substances. If flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside
the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this
may result in burns or electrical shock.
• Do not throw a used drum cartridge, toner cartridge, or waste toner container into
open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite,
resulting in burns or a fire.

fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns.
• When removing jammed paper or replacing a drum cartridge, toner cartridge, or
waste toner container, take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your
hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner and
make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
• When removing paper jammed inside the printer, remove the jammed paper gently to
prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If
the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and
immediately consult a physician.
• When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands with
the edges of the paper.
• When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge slot, remove the
cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and getting into your eyes or
mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold
water and immediately consult a physician.

Standard Features
■ High Quality A3 Full Color Print
This printer is fitted with an A3 full color laser printer engine. Moreover, 600dpi/multi-value
data process resolution delivers high quality full-color printing on A3 size paper.
Before You Start
■ High Speed Printing
Adoption of high-speed CPU and new-type PDL has increases the speed of the controller
processing. Moreover, the four development drums have shortened the time of color
printing, which used to require four times longer time than when printing in black and
white, to as short as 30 sheets of paper per minute (32 sheets of paper per minute for
black and white printing).
■ Super High-Definition Image Quality
The equipped 1200dpi engine enables super high-definition image quality on printing data
that contains photographs and gradation as well as text. The printer driver achieves
"Super Fine Mode" by supporting 1200dpi data resolution process and enhances
expression of clear images. "Fine Mode" also supports "High Mode" in which the
gradation expression has been enhanced. This enables the compatibility between
high-quality printing and super high-speed printing.
■ Various Paper Handling Options
In addition to the standard multi-purpose tray and universal cassette, optional 550-sheet
paper feeders are available, enabling the continuous automatic feeding of up to 1970
sheets of paper of 5 different sizes. The multi-purpose tray has a wide array of uses,
allowing you to perform 2-sided printing manually and print on various kinds of paper from
such as A5 and Envelope Monarch to paper as large as A3 and long size paper.
This section describes the major features.
