ing to the network environment.

A Attach the supplied ferrite core at the printer end of the Ethernet cable.

AQV744S

B Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.

AQV507S

C Connect the other end of the cable to the printer's network, such as a hub.

Connecting the Printer

Using the Gigabit Ethernet cable

A For using the gigabit ethernet cable, attach one ferrite core at the printer

end of the Ethernet cable, and attach the other ferrite core about 10 cm (4 inches) ( ) from this core making a loop as shown.

AQV564S

B Connect the ethernet cable to the gigabit ethernet board.

AQV551S

C Connect the other end of the cable to the printer's network, such as a hub.

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.

6. Replacing Consumables

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

WARNING:

• 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.

CAUTION:

• 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.

CAUTION:

• 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.

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.

Replacing Consumables

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

depends on the type and size of paper you are using, the contents of your 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. Replace the toner cartridge if the following message appears on the display:

A Open the front cover.
