Alternatively, the optional gigabit ethernet board, which supports 1000BASE-T,
is available.
Important
❒ Use shielded Ethernet cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic inter-
ference that could cause malfunctions.
❒ The Ethernet cable is not supplied with this printer. Select your cable accord-
ing to the network environment.

Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
Important
❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and
cause a paper misfeed.
❒ When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with
the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause
them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
❒ Set the paper as described below
• Tray 1/2: Print side facing up
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing down
• Paper Feed Unit: Print side facing up
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales
or service representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing Paper
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.

WARNING:

CAUTION:
R
CAUTION:
Important
❒ When handling toner cartridges, never stand them up on either end or posi-
tion them upside down.
❒ Store toner cartridges in a cool dark place.
❒ Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density,
number of pages printed at a time, paper type and size, and environmental
conditions such as temperature and humidity. Toner quality degrades over
time. You may have to replace the toner cartridge prematurely. We recommend you prepare a new toner cartridge beforehand.
• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable
and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.
• Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an
open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire.
• Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner cartridge out of reach of children.
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into
a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large
amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site.
• If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or
replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the
toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.

❒ The actual number of printed pages you get from a particular toner cartridge

print images, and printing environment conditions.
❖ When to replace the toner cartridge
If any of the toner cartridge indicators on the initial screen appear to show it
is empty, replace the indicated toner cartridge.
