Introduction
Introduction
The laser printer has many extremely desirable features. It was designed to make a contribution to a cleaner environment as well as to represent the latest generation of page printer technology.
Superb print quality
With an amorphous silicon drum, microfine ceramic toner, and the latest technology from us such as
KIR 2 function*, this laser printer delivers superb print quality and clarity. (*See page 2-58.)
Ultra long life modules
The main modules in this laser printer such as the drum, developer unit and fuser unit, which are disposable in conventional printers, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need no periodic replacement. The drum is made of amorphous silicon which is environmentally benign. The only maintenance regularly needed therefore is to replenish the toner supply in the developer approximately every 25,000 printed pages (A4 portrait at a printing rate of approximately 5%) and to clean some parts inside the printer.
Amorphous silicon drum
Our own unique ceramics technology has led to the development of an extremely hard and durable drum with extraordinarily long service life. Also, the drum has several excellent photoconductive properties, such as stability and reliability in varying temperatures, resistance to heat and solvent, etc., thus providing superb high resolution printing.
High speed printing
A3-size pages typically print at a rate of 16 pages per minute, B4 at 18 pages per minute, and A4 (landscape feed) at 28 pages per minute (when printing multiple copies of the same page). (Actual printing time varies depending on what is being printed.)
xv
Introduction
Environmentally benign waste parts
The toner container is made out of a benign, flammable material. (Be sure to dispose of containers according to local laws and regulations.)
Large paper capacity cassettes
Equipped at the bottom with a two-stage paper feeder, each paper cassette can hold approximately 500 sheets (80 g/m2, 0.1 mm thickness). There is also a multi-purpose tray with a capacity of approximately 100 sheets. Paper can be output on a face-down output tray or an optional face-up output tray. Either output tray can stack approximately 500 sheets of paper.
Scalable printing
This printer allows reductions between various paper sizes using the page setup function.
Bitmapped and scalable typefaces
In addition to its 80 internal bitmap fonts, the printer provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces that are equivalent to HPLJ fonts. The scalable typefaces can be used at any size desired up to
999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments.
A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE 2e
PRESCRIBE 2e includes advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable outline shape or solid form. Also provided are a variety of special effects, such as patterned fills, gray-scale shading, a user-accessible print image model, and multiple page orientations and print directions within the same page.
xvi
Introduction
PDF417 two-dimensional bar code
The printer includes the capability that allows the user to implement the two-dimensional stacked bar code symbology, PDF417, or Portable Data File 417. This expanded functionality is achieved by using the PRESCRIBE 2e language commands.
Automatic rotation of fonts and graphics
Images and scalable fonts are automatically rotated to match the page orientation.
A wide variety of internal symbol sets
The printer supports most Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5M compatible symbol sets for both bitmap and scalable fonts.
Display of printer messages in any of four languages
English, French, German, or Italian. As an option it is also possible to download the messages in other languages. Please contact your dealer.
Memory card slot for option fonts, macros, forms, etc.
Data in the memory card can be selectively read from the printer’s control panel.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) compliance
Offers network managers complete open system network management.
xvii
Introduction
Large memory capacity
This printer comes standard equipped with 8 MB of memory. This can be extended up to 72 MB of memory through optional expansion of memory.
Expandable interface
Equipped with slots for installing optional interfaces, the interfaces of this printer can be expanded to meet the specific operating environment.

Chapter 1 Safeguards and Installing the Page Printer
■ Power supply/Grounding the printer
WARNING
•DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.......
•Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock..............................................................................
•Always connect the printer to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact your service representative.................................................................................
Other precautions
•Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the printer.
•Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone.
•Only use this printer under the voltage listed on the serial No. label attached to the rear panel of the printer.
•The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used.
•If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less.
1-4
•The printer should not be the same power circuit as an air conditioner, fluorescent light, copier, or shredder, because these devices generate electrical noise on the power line. If it must share a power circuit with equipment like this, a light -frequency noise filter or isolation transformer is advisable. (Filters and transformers are available commercially.)
•If the power from the outlet itself appears to be unstable, a line stabilizer should be used. In places where the voltage tends to fluctuate, it may be necessary to install a voltage regulator.
•As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer’s AC primary circuit, an easy accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment.
•If the printer is used with the optional bulk paper stacker (F-8130) or document finisher (F-8118), in order to avoid short-circuiting, it should be ensure that these devices are plugged securely into their respective power outlets.
•Be sure to connect the ground wire for the printer’s power supply to the ground terminal of the power outlet, to a copper pole buried at least 65 cm (25 inches) in the ground, or to a water pipe approved by the water department for use as a ground.
•Never use a gas pipe as a ground, as this may result in fire.
