Precautions

Read this section and remember these instructions to ensure your safety and your printer’s correct performance.

Follow the cautions and notices labeled

on the printer or marked with icons in the manual. Save this manual for future reference.

Use only the power cord furnished with the printer and a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an extension power cord.

Confirm that the rated voltage of your printer matches the voltage of your power outlet. The maximum wattage of the printer is 650 watts.

Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord before beginning maintenance operations.

Disconnect the power cord from the outlet whenever you are not using the printer for an extended period of time.

Disconnect the power cord from the outlet whenever thunder storms are nearby. Leaving the power cord connected may allow damage to the printer or other property.

Do not put the printer in direct sunlight, near a heater, or near water. Leave

adequate space around the printer.

Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires. This could cause

electrostatic damage to the printer.

Do not touch the heat roller and motors if you have been printing recently.

These parts may be hot.

Do not touch or scratch the green drum surface, and do not expose it to light

for more than three minutes.

Use only a shielded interface cable of 3 meters (10 feet) or less for the parallel interface, 15 meters (50 feet) or less for the serial interface, 100 meters (328 feet) or less for Ethernet interface 10BASE-T connection, and 185 meters (607 feet) or less for the Ethernet interface 10BASE- connection.

Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.

Do not turn the printer off while it is printing.

Do not disassemble or remove any components unless instructed in the maintenance procedures.

PPMENU

Generally, the printer driver controls the printer. You can also control the printer using the remote setup utility program called PPMENU, stored in the attached CD-ROM.

PPMENU allows you to easily change your printer’s features directly from your computer. You use it to configure your printer to suit the requirements of your computer, software, and documents to be printed.

The parameters you can change using PPMENU affect page layout, font, and printer control. If your software programs have printer drivers, those printer drivers control the parameters for you. Therefore, it may not be necessary to change the settings using PPMENU.

PPMENU

needs to be installed only if you will print from DOS or

DOS based applications.

To install PPMENU, see the booklet “Quick Start” enclosed in the CD-ROM envelope.

The menu mode allows you to change your printer’s defaults using the four buttons on the control panel. You can use the control panel’s menu mode to configure your printer to suit the

requirements of your computer, software, and documents.

Menu Structure and How to Use Control Panel Buttons

The menu mode is structured as a tree consisting of submenus,

items, and options. The following example shows a small portion of the tree and illustrates how the four buttons work.

In the example:

General Tips

Observe the following tips when handling print media.

Do not use paper that is wrinkled or curled.

Do not use paper with staples or metal parts.

When printing both sides of sheets, we recommend you to use an optional duplex unit. If your printer has no duplex unit, use the manual feed slot and remove curls after first printing. Use paper in 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 pound) weight for the duplex unit and 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 pound) weight for the manual feed slot. Paper thinner than this weight may be wrinkled thus causing decrease in print quality.

Two-sided printing is not allowed for transparencies, envelopes, and labels even if your printer has the duplex unit.

User’s Manual

2-23

Handling Paper

Preprinted Sheets

In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letterhead. However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing, or foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these effects (heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit. For this reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image.

Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper tray. When using the manual feed slot, place paper with the printed side facing up. For printing in portrait orientation, the letterhead should be at the front of the tray. For landscape orientation, it should be at the right of the tray. For more information on printing in different orientations, see the later section of this chapter.

Transparencies

This printer can print on overhead transparency material.

We recommend you to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex

unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that transparencies are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.

2-24

Use materials specially designed for laser printers or photocopiers.

Always feed transparency material from the multi-function feeder

User’s Manual

Handling Paper

Envelopes

This printer prints well on envelopes if you carefully follow these guidelines:

• Use envelopes made of paper in 75 to 105 g/m2 (20 to 28 pound) weight. Printing with envelopes made of paper thinner than this weight may produce wrinkles thus causing decrease in print quality.

• Be sure to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that envelopes are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.

• Use the envelope sizes shown in the preceding table.

• To avoid damage to the printer, never use envelopes with clasps,

snaps, windows, or synthetic materials.

• Feed from the multi-function feeder (MFF; standard for 16ADV

and option for 16DV). Use the manual feed slot of the printer if the MFF is removed.

• Feed the envelopes with the gummed side of the flaps facing

downward.

• Do not use “encapsulated” adhesives, which seal by pressure alone.

• To avoid jamming, restrict the minimum paper weight to 64 g/m2

( 17 pound).

• To avoid creasing along the edges, use high-quality envelopes with

stiff edges.

• To avoid uneven printing, do not attempt to print on the gummed

overlap areas.

• Be sure to feed or load the envelopes with the envelope centered

against the manual feed slot. Use the guide of the paper sizes.

• Before attempting large-scale printing on envelopes, consult with your stationery dealer. Also, test the envelopes carefully for

consistent, trouble-free printing.

Labels

This printer prints well on labels if you carefully follow these guidelines:

Be careful to use labels under normal operating conditions. Labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity.

Use the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that labels are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.

Use only labels without backing sheets exposed in the printable area. Labels mounted separately on a backing sheet tend to slip, resulting in crocked print.

Printing on Nonstandard Size Paper and on Envelopes

Most of the control over printing on nonstandard size paper must come from your software program. Programs handle page size specifications in many different ways.

This section provides tips on feeding and using non standard paper with your Fujitsu printer.

Considerations on Paper Size

The following considerations apply:

For envelopes and other nonstandard paper sizes, use the manual

feed slot.

Using the control panel, select a paper size that is equal to or larger than the physical size of the nonstandard size paper. Otherwise, part of the printed image may be cut off

Selecting a paper size larger than the physical paper may result in data running off the edges of the paper. This can affect print quality

and shorten the life of the print unit. To avoid this problem, adjust the page setup in your program so the print data falls within the limits of the physical page and center the paper in the manual feed slot.

User’s Manual

Handling Paper

Page Orientation

Figure 3-4 illustrates the two orientations and shows the relationship between the loaded paper and the resulting printout. This relationship is important if you want to print on letterhead. In portrait orientation, place the letterhead toward you and face down in the paper tray. In landscape orientation, place the letterhead against the right frame of the tray and face down.

Letter Head

2-34

Figure 3-4 Portrait and landscape orientation

When using the manual feed slot, place the paper with its letterhead

facing up. In portrait orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead away from you. In landscape orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead on the right hand side.

Some software programs allow you to print both portrait and landscape information on a single page. The function that allows you to do this is usually called something like “text rotation.” Consult

your software documentation for information.

Notice:

Before performing any maintenance, be sure that the printer is turned off. During maintenance procedures, do not touch any connector contacts to

avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer. When performing maintenance, do not disassemble or remove any

components unless specifically directed in the procedures.

Preventive Maintenance

User’s Manual

The following guidelines can help to ensure trouble-free operation:

Follow the guidelines in Chapter 1 when selecting a location for your printer.

To minimize paper jams, store paper under favorable conditions. Do not expose paper to high humidity or moisture, which can cause wavy edges. Do not store paper in direct sunlight or allow it to become very dry, which can impart an electrostatic charge. Store paper flat, not on edge.

If you must open the printer’s upper door for more than three minutes, remove the print unit with the toner bottle mounted and store it in a dark place. Exposure of the photoconductor drum to light for more than three minutes can cause damage.

Make sure small objects such as paper clips do not drop into the printer.
