Network Security Recommendations

To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network
environment using appropriate security measures.

Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and
fax lines, and other intrusions:

• Enable security on your wireless LAN

Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network
security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your
router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your
ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better
secure your network.

• Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall

Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,
connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already
have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best
results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.

• Change the default administrator password on your product

If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator
password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,
passwords, and contact lists.

Wi-Fi Infrastructure Mode Setup

6. Slide the cassette back into the product until it stops and close the front cover.

7. Select the size and type of the paper you loaded on the product LCD screen and select Close.

Note: If you are printing on letterhead, make sure you select Letterhead as the paper type. Make
sure you select the correct paper size setting.

8. Extend the output tray.

58

Note: Do not remove or insert the paper cassette during printing.

Always follow these paper loading guidelines:

• Load only the recommended number of sheets.

• Load paper short edge first and printable side facedown.

• Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the edge guides and not sticking out from the rear end of

the cassette.

• Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may

damage the printable side.

• If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on

curled paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

• Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side

of pre-printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a
time if paper jams continue.

• Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using,

check the paper packaging or contact the manufacturer to confirm the paper specifications.

• Fan and align the edges of envelopes before loading. If you have trouble loading a stack of

envelopes, press each envelope flat before loading it or load one envelope at a time.

• If print quality declines when printing multiple envelopes, try loading one envelope at a time.

• Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.

• Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.

Note: When placing bulky originals such as books, prevent exterior light from shining directly onto
the scanner glass.

3. Close the document cover gently to keep your original in place.

Caution: Do not push down on the document cover or scanner glass or you may damage the
product.

Warning: Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the document cover or you may be
