About the Printer
About the Printer
The Compuprint PageMaster 402N printer uses a data modulated laser beam and conventional dry-ink xerographic processes to produce images up to 1200 dpi resolution at a paper output speed of 40 pages per minute. The printer can accommodate both plain paper and other print media, and feeds paper from either a main 500-sheet paper tray or from the front tray, which is designed to feed special print media such as labels and transparencies.
There are four paper handling options available for the printer, including a Duplexer for two-sided printing, a 500-Sheet Feeder for additional paper capacity or variety, a High Capacity Feeder for even greater paper feeding options, and a High Capacity Stacker to hold and separate large print jobs. There are also four replaceable components: the Toner Cartridge, the Fuser, the Transfer Roller, and the High Capacity Feeder Feed Rolls.
You may connect the printer to either a local computer or a computer network system. Application and print driver software on the computer controls image generation and print processing. The computer sends the electronic image to the printer, where the printer turns the electronic image into a black and white printed image.
Features
Your laser printer has the following features:
• Quality printing at a high speed
The printer has an output of 40 pages per minute with a resolution up to 1200 dpi.
• Flexible use of paper sources and delivery methods
The base configuration of the printer includes one 500-sheet universal paper feeder and a front tray. You may also add the following options to the printer: additional 500-sheet Feed­ers, 2000-sheet High Capacity Feeder, High Capacity Stacker, and Duplexer.
• Easy operation
The easy-to-read control panel display clearly shows the status of printer operation. Control panel pushbuttons allow you to access and view printer menus, submenus, and status mes­sages.
• Single-element toner cartridge
The integrated toner cartridge contains both the toner and the photosensitive drum in a sin­gle housing, making replacement easy and convenient.
• Continuous printing of up to 3150 sheets
The printer can print up to 1000 sheets unattended when the stacker is installed, and can print up to 3150 sheets attended when the high capacity feeder and one 500-sheet paper feeder are installed.
•Network-readiness
The standard configuration of the printer includes an Ethernet Network Interface Card.

Connecting the Printer to the Host Computer
Connecting the Printer to the Host Computer
You must connect the printer to your computer using an IEEE 1284 parallel cable. This cable is user-supplied, the printer does not include this cable. The parallel port is the default port. To con­nect the printer to your computer using the parallel port, simply connect the parallel cable to the parallel port on the printer, then connect the cable to your computer.
Selecting Print Media
Your printer can print on a variety of media, including plain paper, labels, transparencies, and enve­lopes. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with this printer. Print media that is not recommended for use with this printer may cause frequent paper jams or poor print quality.
Paper and Print Media To Avoid
Do not use paper or print media that has any of the following characteristics:
• Does not meet the paper and media size and weight specifications for this printer
• Is not labeled for use with xerographic printers or xerographic copiers
• Cannot withstand temperatures of up to 310°F/155°C
• Is in a sealed package that is obviously damaged or wet
• Is excessively wrinkled, curled, torn, or warped
• Is folded or creased
• Has either an extremely slick surface or an extremely textured surface
• Has an exposed adhesive surface
• Has paper pieces glued or taped to the media
• Has staples or paperclips attached
• Is categorized as thermal paper, coated paper, or carbon paper
• Is an envelope that is embossed, is made of extremely thick paper, or is padded
• Is an envelope that has metal clasps
• Is a sheet of labels that has the backing sheet exposed between individual labels
Correct Paper Storage
It is important to store paper correctly prior to placing it in the printer, since improper storage can cause frequent paper jams and poor print quality. Use the following guidelines when storing paper for use in the printer:
• Store reams of paper on a flat surface, and always store them stacked horizontally.
• Store reams of paper in an area away from both direct sunlight and high humidity
• Open sealed reams only when you are ready to load the paper into the paper tray, and always close and seal partial reams of paper.
• Do not stack partial reams of paper
Print Media Capacities
Your printer can hold up to 3,150 sheets of standard weight paper, depending upon the options installed. The printer can be configured in the following five variations:

Compuprint PageMaster 402N User Guide 2-5
Selecting Print Media
• Printer (650 sheets)
• Printer with 500 sheet feeder(1150 sheets)
• Printer with two 500 sheet feeders (1650 sheets)
• Printer with high capacity feeder(2650 sheets)
• Printer with high capacity feeder and 500 sheet feeder (3150 sheets)
The following table shows the five configurations and the breakdown of paper capacity:
If you want to use paper that is an odd size or weight, you must use the front paper tray. The front tray can hold the following quantities of non-standard print media:
• Envelopes : 10
• Transparencies: 30
•Labels: 30
•Paper: 150
NOTE: Expect a slight reduction in image quality when you print on envelopes, labels, transparencies, or
postcards.
