The device you have purchased contains one or more software
programs (“programs”) which belong to international business machines corporation (“IBM”). This document defines
the terms and conditions under which the software is being licensed to you by IBM. If you do not agree with the terms and
conditions of this license, then within 14 days after your acquisition of the device you may return the device for a full refund. If you do not so return the device within the 14 days,
then you will be assumed to have agreed to these terms and
conditions.
The Programs are licensed not sold. IBM, or the applicable
IBM country organization, grants you a license for the Programs only in the country where you acquired the Programs.
You obtain no rights other than those granted you under this
license.
The term “Programs” means the original and all whole or partial copies of it, including modified copies or portions merged
into other programs. IBM retains title to the Programs. IBM
owns, or has licensed from the owner, copyrights in the Programs.
1. License
Under this license, you may use the Programs only with the
device on which they are installed and transfer possession of
the Programs and the device to another party.
This limitation will not apply to claims for bodily injury or
damages to real or tangible personal property for which IBM
is legally liable.
IBM will not be liable for any lost profits, lost savings, or any incidental damages or other economic consequential damages,
even if IBM, or its authorized supplier, has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. IBM will not be liable for any damages claimed by you based on any third party claim. This limitation of remedies also applies to any developer of Programs
supplied to IBM. IBM’s and the developer’s limitations of remedies are not cumulative. Such a developer is an intended beneficiary of this Section. Some jurisdictions do not allow these
limitations or exclusions, so they may not apply to you.
4. General
You may terminate your license at any time. IBM may terminate your license if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this license. In either event, you must destroy all
your copies of the Program. You are responsible for payment
of any taxes, including personal property taxes, resulting from
this license. Neither party may bring an action, regardless of
form, more than two years after the cause of action arose. If
you acquired the Program in the United States, this license is
governed by the laws of the State of New York. If you acquired
the Program in Canada, this license is governed by the laws of
the Province of Ontario. Otherwise, this license is governed by
the laws of the country in which you acquired the Program.
If you transfer the Programs, you must transfer a copy of this
license and any other documentation to the other party. Your
license is then terminated. The other party agrees to these
terms and conditions by its first use of the Program.
You may not:
1) use, copy, modify, merge, or transfer copies of the Program
except as provided in this license;
2) reverse assemble or reverse compile the Program; or
3) sublicense, rent, lease, or assign the Program.
2. Limited Warranty
The Programs are provided “AS IS.”
There are no other warranties covering the programs (or conditions), express or implied, including, but not limited to, the
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
3. Limitation of Remedies
IBM’s entire liability under this license is the following;
1) For any claim (including fundamental breach), in any
form, related in any way to this license, IBM’s liability will
be for actual damages only and will be limited to the greater of:
a) the equivalent of U.S.$25,000 in your local currency; or

Precautions for Use
■ Cautions when Using the Printer
WARNING
•Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near
the printer. This type of situation presents a danger
of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside. ....
•Do not remove any of the covers from the printer as
there is a danger of electrical shock from high volt-
age parts inside the printer. .....................................
•Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the
power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the cord,
pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any other
type of damage.
These types of situations present a danger of fire or
electrical shock. .........................................................
•Never attempt to repair or disassemble the printer
or its parts as there is a danger of fire, electrical
shock or damage to the laser. If the laser beam es-
capes, there is a danger of it causing blindness. .....
•If the printer becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the printer, there is an odd smell, or any
other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger
of fire or electrical shock. Turn the power switch
OFF (OOOO) immediately, remove the power plug from
the outlet and contact your service representative.
•If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the printer, turn the power switch
OFF (OOOO) immediately. Next, remove the power plug
from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your service representative.
•Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet
hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock. .......
•Always contact your service representative for main-
tenance or repair of internal parts. ...........................
CAUTION
•Do not pull the power cord when removing it from
the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may
become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. (ALWAYS grasp the power plug when
removing the power cord from the outlet.) ..............
•Always remove the power plug from the outlet when
moving the printer. If the power cord is damaged,
there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. ............
•If the printer will not be used for a short period of
time (overnight, etc.), turn the power switch OFF
(OOOO).
If it will not be used for an extended period of time
(vacations, etc.), remove the power plug from the
outlet for safety purposes during the time the
printer is not in use. .................................................
•When lifting or moving the printer, pull up the 4
handles on both sides of the printer, then ALWAYS
carry the printer by the designated 4 handles with
at least 4 people, one person to a handle..................
•For safety purposes. Always remove the power
plug from the outlet when performing cleaning
operations. ............................................................
•If dust accumulates within the printer, there is a
danger of fire or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with your service representative in regard to the cleaning of internal parts.
This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to
seasons of high humidity. Consult with your service
representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the
internal parts of the printer. .....................................
Other Precautions
•Do not place heavy objects on the printer or cause
other damage to the printer.
•Do not open the front cover, turn off the main switch,
or pull out the power plug during printing.
•During printing, some ozone is released, but the
amount does not cause any ill effect to one’s health.
If, however, the printer is used over a long period of
time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing
an extremely large number of copies, the smell may
become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate
environment for print work, it is suggested that the
room be properly ventilated.
•Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or
printed circuit boards. They could be damaged by
static electricity.
•Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this handbook.
•Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the paper from the cassette, return it to its original package and reseal it.

■ Cautions for Toner Handling
CAUTION
•Do not incinerate toner and toner containers. Dan-
gerous sparks may cause burn. .................................
•Never open the toner container or waste toner box..
•Make sure not to inhale the toner, and not to rub
your eyes or touch your mouth with the hands
stained with the toner. And make sure not to stick
to your skin. ................................................................
•For the disposal of old toner container and waste
toner box, consult your dealer. Or dispose of the
toner or toner containers in accordance with Fed-
eral, state and Local rules and regulations. .............

Size
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be
used with the printer.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard,
and premium. The most significant difference between grades
is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is
affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the
paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the
grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper
jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality
your printed output will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also
affect the printer’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is
used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it
causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights
(defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20,
and 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m

Chapter 2 Handling Paper
1.3 Selecting the Right Paper
Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through
the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the printer’s requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the
printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently.
Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors
to consider when selecting paper for the printer are as follows:
Condition of the Paper
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn,
embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing,
misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the
printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper should have as
smooth and even a surface as possible.
Composition
Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and
contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such
paper to give off harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 %
of the total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.
Paper Size
Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes
listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7
mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at
the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

Table 2-3
Paper with other sizes (custom sizes) can also be fed from the
MP tray. The minimum size paper for manual feed is 88 × 148
mm (3-1/2 × 5-13/16 inches), fed lengthwise. The maximum
size is 297 × 450 mm (11-11/16 × 17-3/4 inches).
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with
a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output.
Paper that is too smooth, however, can cause multiple feeding
and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Basis Weight
Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In
the traditional system, the standard quantity is a ream consisting of 500 sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the
metric system the standard quantity is 1 square meter.
Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding,
jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper
weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The proper
weight is 60 to 105 g/m
2
g/m
for the MP tray.
Thickness (Caliper)
Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as low-caliper paper. The paper used with the printer
should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you
are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and
faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you
are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing,
the paper may be too thick. The proper thickness is 0.086 to
0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Chapter 2 Handling Paper
Moisture Content
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to
the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feedability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner
fusing characteristics.
The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and
the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. When the relative humidity is low
and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten,
and print contrast may suffer.
Wavy or tight edges can cause misfeeding and alignment
anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to
6%. To ensure the proper moisture content, it is important to
store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on
moisture control are:
• Store paper in a cool, dry location.
• Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap
paper that is not in use.
• Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet, etc., under
the carton to separate it from the floor.
• After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same
room as the printer for 48 hours before use.
• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight,
or damp.
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the
whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper,
brighter appearance.
Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not
square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed
edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable
care to ensure that these problems do not occur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained
from a reputable supplier is usually properly packaged.
Paper Grain
When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the
grain running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to
the width (short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding
problems in the printer. All paper used in the printer should
be long grain.
Other Paper Properties
Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is,
how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded.
Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper
jam.
Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction. The paper should be loaded so that the natural curl is
downward, to counteract the upward curl imparted by the
printer. Printed sheets will then come out flat. Most paper
also has a top and bottom surface. Loading instructions are
usually given on the paper package.
NOTE
If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when
the paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper
in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets
will then come out flat.
Electrostatic properties: During the printing process, the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper
must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do
not cling together in the output tray.

2. Special Paper
This section explains printing on special paper. The page
printer can use the following types of special paper. In this
case, set the media type according to the table below.
Paper type to be used Media type to be selected
Colored paper Color
Preprinted paper Preprinted
Overhead projector
transparencies
Postcards Cardstock
Envelopes Envelope
Label Labels
Table 2 -4
When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products
that are specified for use with photocopiers and/or page printers. Feed paper other than colored paper or preprinted paper
from the MP (multi-purpose) tray. Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Label paper
and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper
to give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if
moisture, etc., given off in printing on special paper causes
harm to the machine or operator.
Transparency
2.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the
printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will
damage the printer.
Label paper must be manually fed.
Label paper has a structure comprised of three layers, as
shown in the figure below. The top sheet is printed on. The
adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The
carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds
the labels until use. Due to the complexity of its composition,
adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give
trouble in printing.
Top sheet (White
bond paper)
Adhesive
Carrier sheet
Figure 2-2
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top
sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels
with spaces in between are apt to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of
top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet
from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.
NOTE
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on
the printer and check that print quality is satisfactory.
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.
2.1 Transparency (Overhead Projection Film)

Chapter 2 Handling Paper
Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See
Grain on page 2-3
and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing
envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the
envelope’s suitability.
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.
Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To
avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more
than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper trays during multiple envelope printing.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white
bond paper, listed in
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200
°C or 392 °F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone
oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as
the type of paper commonly used for calendars.
Recycled Paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as
the white bond paper (see
1
) except whiteness.
NOTE
Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that the print quality is satisfactory.
