About Making Printer Settings

To print, you will need to make some printer settings. This printer offers four ways to make printer settings:

❏ Printer drive r ( softwar e that ru n s or “driv e s” your pr i nter) ❏ OneTouch modes (contr ol pan e l shortcuts that allow yo u to

make several settings quickly)

❏ SelecType (control panel functions that allow you to make

even more settings than the prin te r driver)

❏ Remote Control Panel utility (software that emulates your

printer control panel)

If you use a Windows application, use the printer driver tha t came with the printer to make settings. For details on your printer driver, see “Accessing On lin e He lp” in your

If you use a DOS application, make the print settings in the application. For details, see your DOS applicatio n manu al.

If you cannot make all the settings you need through the Windows printer driver or DOS application , use Selec T ype (OneT ouc h modes) or the Remote Control Panel utility.

Printer Driver

Use the printer driver to easily and con veniently make new printer settings. Most users may never need to use anything besides their application software and the pr in te r driver to make prin ter settings. You can access the prin te r driver thr ough an applicat ion ‘ s Print command or by choosing your printer in the Printers folder/program group in your operating system. Be aware that settings you make in your application software overide printer driver settings. Use the drive r’s online help for more information. To access online help, see your

guide.

OneTouch modes

Use the OneTouch modes on the printer control panel to make printer settings when you cannot make a setting in your application software. The On eTouch modes are the ea siest w ay to make several basic settings from the prin ter’ s control panel; however, your software applicat ion an d printer drive r in some cases override these settings. See “Usin g t h e On eT ouc h Modes ” on page 5-20 for mo re infor mation.

SelecType

Use the SelecType buttons and display on the printer c ontrol pane l to make printer settings when you cannot make a setting in your application software. Selec T ype has mo re detailed opt ions t han the OneTouch mod es but it may take a few extr a st eps to make those settings. See “Us in g Selec T y pe, ” Ch apter 5, for more infor mat ion .

Remote Control Panel utility

Use the Remote Control Panel utility when the printer is not easily accessible and you want to make SelecType se ttin gs.

An additional laser warnin g label is af fixe d to the ins ide of the printer, as shown below.

Ozone safety

Ozone emission

Ozone gas is generated by laser print er s as a by-product of the printing process. Ozone is produced only when th e print er is printing.

Ozone exposure limit

The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 parts per million (ppm) express e d as an avera g e time -w e ig hte d conc ent ra ti o n ov er an eight (8) hour p er i od .

The EPL-N 2000 laser printer ge ne r at es <0.01ppm for 8 h our s of continuous printing when consider in g a closed room of

approximately 1000 cu ft (8’

× 10’ × 12

’).

Getting Star te d

Minimize the risk

To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the following conditions:

❏ Use of multiple laser printers in a confined area (see above) ❏ Operation in conditions of extreme ly low humid ity ❏ Poor room ventilation ❏ Long, continuous printing together with any of the above

Printer location

The printer should be located so that the exhaust gases and hea t generated are:

❏ Not blown directly into the user’ s fac e ❏ Vented directly out of the building whenever possible

Laser Printer Precautions

This printer uses laser technology. The following list of precautions applies whenever you open the printer cover. Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to follow these pr ec au tio n s c ar efu lly to en sur e safe, efficient operation .

Getting Started

❏ Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION

Hot Sur f ace Av oi d C ontact. I f the prin ter has b ee n in use, the fuser can be very hot.

CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact

❏ Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless

instructed to do so in this guide.

❏ Never for ce the pri n ter’s c om p onents i n to p l ace. Alth ou g h the

printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.

❏ Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you

remove the imaging cartridge from the printer, always set the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its surface and may affect print quality.

❏ Do not turn the cartridge upside down or stand it on its sides.

Getting Star te d

❏ Protect the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light. Avoid

exposing the imaging cartridg e t o room light any longe r th an necessary. Do not open the drum’s protective cover. Overexposing the drum may cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reduce the service life of the drum.

❏ When handling the cartrid g e, always set it on a clean, smooth

surface.

❏ Do not attempt to modify or take apart the cartridge. It cannot

be refilled.

❏ Try not to touch the toner and avoid all contact with

your eyes.

❏ Do not use a cartridg e for at le ast on e hou r aft er movin g it

from a cool to a warm en viron ment.

Getting Started

❏ Avoid touching the glass in front of the laser beam; otherwise,

print quality may decline.

To get the best print quality, do not store the imaging cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight , dust , salty air, or corros ive gasses (such as ammonia). Avoi d locations subject to high temperature s or hu mid i ty or abr up t ch an ge s in temp er at u r e or humidity. Also, be sure to keep the consumable components out of the reach of children.
