Using this Manual

This manual is presented as an Adobe Acrobat portable document format (.pdf) file. If you are reading this page, you have successfully installed Acrobat or Acrobat Reader on your computer and opened this document.
The Acrobat Screen
The Acrobat screen is divided into two parts, with bookmarks on the left and pages on the right. The bookmarks act as a Table of Contents for the manual. Clicking on any bookmark will bring you to that portion of the manual. If a bookmark has a triangle or plus sign to its left, this indicates that there are sub-topics located under that bookmark. Click the triangle or plus sign to view the sub-topics, click again to hide them.
Depending on the size of your computer’s screen, you may need to magnify the page. You can choose the magnification you want by clicking on the magnification box in the status bar at the bottom center of the screen.
• Fit Page shows the entire height of the page.
• Fit Width shows the entire width of the page. You won’t be able to see some of the top or
bottom of the page.
•
Fit Visible is similar to Fit Width, but shows the width of the page between margins.
You can also choose percentage views from the list, or choose Other to create a specific percentage view. You can also use the magnifying glass button in the tool bar to drag over an area of the page you want to enlarge. When you change the magnification it remains at that setting for all pages until you change it again.
Moving Through Pages
You can move forward and backward through the sections of the Elite 21 User’s Manual by dragging the vertical scroll bar. When you do this, a window will appear showing which page you are selecting.
If you click in the background area of the vertical scroll bar, you’ll move one page at a time. If the magnification you’ve chosen shows less than a full page, you’ll see the top part of each page followed by the bottom part.
You can also use the tool bar buttons to move from page to page.
vii
The GCC manual also contains hyperlinks, marked by the use of Blue text within the manual. Click on any of these links to go to that location.
Finding Text
To find specific information in the manual, use the Find command within Acrobat. This command takes the place of a traditional index. To use Find, follows these steps:
• Click on the Find button in the tool bar, or go to the Edit menu and select Find.
• The Find dialog box will appear. Enter the word(s) you want to find.
• Click OK. The program takes you to the next place the word appears.
• If you don’t find the information you’re looking for, press Command-G (Macintosh) or Control-G
(Windows) to Find Again. This will bring you to the next place the word appears.

Step 5. Install Toner Cartridge
1. Press down on the release button at the top of the printer to open the front cover.
2. Remove the two orange plastic spacers inserted in the printer by pulling them out of the printer as shown.
Note:
The toner cartridge contains a microfine plastic powder that is fused to the paper during the printing process. If toner spills onto your skin or clothing during installation, wipe off with a dry cloth and rinse with cold water. Hot water can fuse the toner and cause staining

3. Unwrap the toner cartridge and remove the protective sheet of paper from under the front flap of the cartridge. Shake the cartridge from side to side several times as shown to distribute the toner.
4. Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface and hold the cartridge securely with one hand. Grasp and pull the sealing tape straight out from the side of the cartridge, as shown. Pulling the tape out at an angle may cause it to break.
Do not shake the cartridge or subject it to shocks once the tape is removed, as this may result in toner leakage.
5. Position the toner cartridge as shown. Match up the tabs on the left and right of the cartridge with the channels within the printer. Gently slide the cartridge into the printer as far as it will go.

Smaller sizes can be fed through the Multi-Purpose feeder (Tray 1). The standard paper tray will also handle up to 100 transparency or label sheets in Letter or A4 size.
The standard paper tray holds up to 550 sheets of 20 lb. copier-type paper. It can handle the following sizes of paper:
• US Letter • US Legal 13” • A4 • A5
• US Executive • US Legal • JIS B5
Step 6. Load Paper Tray
1. Place the paper tray on a desk or other flat surface.
2. Squeeze the rear length guide tab as shown and slide the tab all the way to the back of the paper tray.
1-11
3. For sizes larger than Letter/A4, press down on the grey square at the bottom of the tray. This will release the rear section of the tray and the section can be adjusted outward to extend the tray’s length.
The rear section of the tray adjusts to three different positions. Choose the position that most closely matches the paper size being loaded.
4. Squeeze the right side paper guide as shown. Lift the guide slightly and slide it all the way to the side of the tray.
5. Place the paper in the center of the paper tray, being sure not to overfill the tray. The paper should be placed in the tray with the side to be printed on facing down.

6. Squeeze the right side paper guide as shown. Lift the guide slightly and slide it towards the paper stack until it touches the paper. Do not set the guide too tightly against the paper stack, as this could cause paper feed jams.
7. Squeeze the paper length guide at the rear of the tray as shown. Lift the guide slightly and slide it towards the paper stack until the guide matches up with the indentation in the bottom of the paper tray which corresponds with the paper size being used.
8. Grasp the paper tray with both hands at the left and right, as shown.
1-13
9. Gently slide the paper tray all the way into the printer.
10. The paper level indicator on the front of the tray will rise to show the remaining level of paper in the tray. Replenish paper as necessary.

Connecting Cables Correctly
Most cables come with some kind of locking device to insure that the connection is made. Be sure to use these locking devices, otherwise you may experience intermit­tent errors or the printer will fail to operate altogether.
• USB cables are keyed and can only be inserted one way.
• When you have inserted a Parallel port connector, lock the connector by lifting up the wire
clips at either end of the socket so that they fit into the slots on the sides of the connector.
• Ethernet 10/100 BaseT connectors have a locking tab similar to connectors on telephone cords. When the plug is fully inserted, the tab clicks into place.
Improperly inserted cables are the cause of many networking and printer-related problems.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Connection
USB connection ports can be found on nearly all new computers. USB cables have keyed “A” and “B” connections and cannot be connected incorrectly. The interface on the printer is a “B” connection.
Note: In order to communicate using the higher-speed USB 2.0 standard, you should obtain a USB cable specifically certified for use with USB 2.0 devices.
Bi-directional Parallel Connection
The bi-directional parallel connection between the printer and a PC requires a standard 36-pin bi-directional cable (to IEEE 1284 standards). The length of this cable can be up to 6.5 feet (2 meters).
Step 7. Connect Printer Cables

Ethernet Network Connection
The Ethernet interface on your printer lets you connect to an Ethernet network via standard 10 BaseT or 100 BaseT cabling.

Step 8. Attach Power Cord
1. Insert the power cord into the AC power connector on the back of the printer as shown.
2. Check the power switch at the front of the printer to confirm that it is in the Off (O) position.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet or power strip.
4. Switch the power switch to the On (I) position. After the printer warms up, the “Ready” message should be visible on the control panel’s LCD display and the Ready light will remain on.
