Turning the Printer OFF

Turn the printer OFF using the following procedure. The procedure for turning the printer OFF is different between when a hard disk is used and when it is not used.

IMPORTANT

When using the hard disk, be sure to turn the printer OFF as the procedure for the protection of the hard disk. (See p. 4)

If the printer is used on a network, make sure that it is not printing data from another computer before turning the power OFF.

If you turn the printer OFF when the indicator is on, all the print data remaining in the printer memory will be erased. If there is any necessary print data remaining in the printer, wait until it is output, or press [ ] in the offline state and then select <> to output the data before turning the printer OFF.

Do not turn the power OFF when the printer is in any of the following status:

-While the printer is in the middle of printing

-While the printer is running a self-diagnostic test immediately after turning the power ON

-While a message informing you that the NVRAM is being initialized or being written is displayed

-While <02 > or <02 > is displayed

When you are using a hard disk, make sure that the HDD indicator is not on. If you turn

the printer OFF while the HDD indicator is on (while data is being read from the hard disk or being written to the hard disk), the hard disk may be damaged and disabled.

Paper Requirements

Usable Paper

To ensure optimum performance, use only paper that falls within the specifications in the following lists. Using inappropriate paper may result in deterioration in print quality or paper jams.

IMPORTANT

Print speed may drop depending on the settings for the paper size, paper type, and print copies.

-Postcard/Reply postcard/4 on 1 postcard: Approx. 5.8 pages/min.

-Envelope: Approx. 3.2 pages/min.

When continuously printing the paper that is less than 210.0 mm wide, the safety function that prevents damages caused by heat may slow the print speed down in stages. (The print speed may be as slow as approximately 1.6 pages/min.)

Paper Size

The following shows the paper sizes that can be used with this printer. The symbol "" indicates the paper that can be used for 1-sided printing and automatic 2-sided printing, the symbol "" indicates the paper that can be used for only 1-sided printing, and the symbol "-" indicates the paper that cannot be used.

You may not obtain the optimum print quality when printing postcard data with no margin. It is recommended that you specify the size of the data a little smaller than the printable area for the postcard size.

Envelope

You cannot print on any area within 10 mm of the edges of an envelope.

You may have to change the printable area before printing, depending on the application you use.

IMPORTANT

When you print envelopes, a part of the printed zip code may be missing. In this case, you can print the envelopes without any part of the zip code missing by selecting the [Print with Upper Left of Sheet as Starting Point] check box or [Expand Print Region and Print] check box. Depending on the print data to be printed, however, the edge of paper may blot during color printing.

Loading Paper in the Paper Cassette

Load paper in the paper cassette. The paper loading methods are different between standard size paper and custom size paper. Therefore, load paper properly using the following procedures.

When Loading Standard Size Paper (See p. 20)

When Loading Custom Size Paper (Non-Standard Size Paper) (See p. 25)

IMPORTANT

For more details on the usable paper, see "Usable Paper," on p. 9.

Do not load any media other than plain paper (60 - 105 g/m2) in the paper cassette. This may result in paper jams or damage to the printer.

When Loading Standard Size Paper

Perform the following procedure to load standard size paper.

Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation when loading it in the paper cassette.

Be sure to take the paper cassette out of the printer before loading paper. If paper is loaded while the paper cassette is partially pulled out, the paper cassette may drop or the printer may become damaged resulting in personal injury.

2 When changing the size of the paper to be loaded, adjust the length of the paper cassette and change the positions of the paper guides.

While holding the lock release lever of the side paper guides, slide the guides to the size mark for the paper to be loaded.

The side paper guides move together. Align the position of (A) with the size mark for the paper to be loaded.

CAUTION

When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the paper.

22

IMPORTANT

Be sure to check if the paper guide is at the position of the size of the loaded paper. If the paper guide is set at a wrong position, this may result in misfeeds.

If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, fan the paper thoroughly, and then align the edges of the stack on a hard, flat surface.

NOTE

To print letterhead paper or paper printed with a logo, load the paper so that the printing side is facing up, as shown in the following figure.

4 Hold down the paper as shown in the figure, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit marks (A), and then set it under the hooks (B) on the paper guides.

Make sure that there is sufficient space between the hooks of the paper guides and the paper stack. If there is no sufficient space, slightly reduce the amount of paper.

The paper capacity of Cassette 1 is approximately 250 sheets of plain paper (64 g/ m2), and that of Cassette 2 is approximately 500 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2). Be sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit marks on the paper guides. If the paper stack exceeds the load limit marks, this may result in misfeeds.

5 Set the paper cassette in the printer.

Push the paper cassette into the printer firmly until the front side of the paper cassette is flush with the front surface of the printer.
