)
NOTE:
“Image” means paper size of Letter/A4 LEF. Other page sizes will have
“images” based on Length of Form/8.5”.
Standard toner collector bottle replacement is every other toner supply.
However, depending on print density requirements, the replace toner
collector bottle message may be displayed at varying frequencies.
External factors can affect the average yield of consumables. Some of these factors are:
Humidity
Temperature
Type of paper
Run length of jobs
Adequate ventilation around equipment
Image coverage on page
Print Utilization - if less than 80%, projected consumable life may become shorter
Print density

Coverage is calculated per printed sheet and is defined as the ratio of area with toner to the total area of the sheet.
Toner usage is based on 5% coverage when the toner density level is set to the default value. The following items
affect toner coverage: the printed image content, the paper used, and the condition and calibration of the printer.
Actual toner usage may vary due to these factors.
4-2Care and Maintenance
Adding Toner

Handling and Storing Supplies and Consumables
Paper
Proper handling and storing of paper are important to optimize the performance of the
printer. For best results, follow the instructions below.
When Loading
Be careful not to damage, crease, or fold paper when handling.
Eliminate any damaged paper before loading paper into the tray.
Do not load different types of paper into the same tray.
Remove any paper previously loaded in the tray when loading new paper. Do not
put new paper on the paper formerly loaded in the tray.
When Storing
Wrap the remaining paper to keep the proper moisture content.
Store the wrapped paper in an air-conditioned room. There should not be a
significant temperature difference between a paper storage environment and a
printer operating environment. It may cause paper jams.
When Paper Jams Frequently Occur
Replace the paper. Even if paper brands are same, characteristics may be slightly
different due to different environmental storage conditions.
Turn over the paper in the tray. This should not be applied when using paper
whose front side or back side is prearranged such as letterhead forms.
4-30Care and Maintenance
Toner and Developer
Proper handling and storage of the toner bottle and developer bottle are important to
optimize printer performance. For best results, follow the instructions below.
When Purchasing
Use only toner and developer which are specified for the printer. Print quality may
be degraded and troubles may occur if using toner and developer that does not
meet the specification.
Store the toner bottle and developer bottle in a well air-conditioned place. If the
temperature is over 104°F (40°C), the toner and developer may solidify. The
recommended storing temperature is 14°F - 104°F (-10°C~40°C). The
recommended relative humidity is 5% to 80%. Do not store for longer than 3
years after the date of manufacture.
Do not expose developer to the air. If exposed, developer may rust and degrade
The following sections provide troubleshooting guidelines. If you are still

Basic Troubleshooting Tips
The following are some common situations that can cause a variety of problems. Before
you look for a specific problem use the tips in this list.
Check the power and all cables to the printer.
Check the printer OCP for information.
If possible, print the Status Page from the Reports menu and verify that the
settings match your configuration.
Check the current status of the printer.
The current status appears on the OCP.
If the printer is processing your job, the status message reflects this.
If your print job does not appear in the status message, another user’s job may
be printing before yours or the printer may already have finished printing your
job.
If your job is waiting to print, it appears in the list for the print queue.
If used with a MicroPress Server, check the Status field in the DDP-MP main
window.

Printing Notes
Paper jams (e.g. E134) may happen at the Switch Back Station, when using thick
(stiff) paper.
Banding may occur when printing half tones. This happens when paper enters the
fuser unit or exits the regist rollers.
Banding may occur when half tone printing on thick paper. This happens when
paper enters the fuser unit or exits the regist rollers.
Print position may gradually shift backward on the page when printing on thick
paper.
Multiple paper feed may occur if you are using paper that does not meet
and poor staple accuracy may occur on paper with too much curl.
Print start position may change based on paper size and weight.
Print density may degrade when printing more than 30% print coverage.
Stacking accuracy may degrade when printing thin long paper.
The paper exit rollers on the Finisher may quickly become contaminated when
printing out of printable area.
Print density may darken after replacing the developer mix.
Scratches may occur if the OPC Drum is touched.
To avoid paper jams, print speed is reduced when printing with tray combinations.
Depending on paper thickness, slippage may occur during the folding process.
For this reason, print should be a minimum 10mm away from the fold.
Perform a test print to check print quality prior to starting daily print jobs and
prior to starting jobs requiring high print quality.
Continuous half-tone or solid black printing may cause print quality degradation.
Frequent high black-to-white ratio and high-density printing can cause print
quality to degrade. Check the print quality periodically and clean the inside of the
printer.
A high black-to-white ratio on duplex print jobs can cause paper to stick to the
finisher. To avoid this problem, remove paper from the finisher stack frequently
or lower the print density.
Print density may be high for several thousand pages after powering on the
printer. If this is the case, set the print density to “Light” for several thousand
pages, then return the print density to “Medium”.
Print density may be gradually decreased by continuous low-density printing.
Print several hundred pages of a half-tone pattern to increase print density.
After continuous printing of thick paper, the first sheet of a new print job may
pick up dirt from the fuser unit. Run a cross-pattern test print to remove dirt.
Print speed is decreased when paper thickness continuously alternates.
