General Guidelines

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.

Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that

occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.

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 machine. 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 machine’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce highquality 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 60 to 120 g/m² (16 to 32 pounds).

Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages.

Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.

Condition

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 and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. 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 Sizes

Cassettes and the MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. For details, including the paper sizes for the paper feeder (Optional paper feeder PF-500, PF-510) refer to Cassette (1 to 4) Size (Setting the cassette paper size) on page 2-28. 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°.

1-4 Handling Paper

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 can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis Weight

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.

The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120 g/m² (16 and 32 lb/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220 g/m² (16 and 59 lb/ ream) for the MP tray.

Thickness

The paper used with the machine 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 correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Handling Paper 1-5

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, feed ability, 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 jams and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6 %.

To ensure correct 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. Re-wrap 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 machine for 48 hours before use.

• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.

Note When using coated paper, be aware that the sheets will

stick together in a very humid environment.

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 machine. All paper used in the machine should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.

Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper

jams.

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked.

Electrostatic discharge: 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.

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 machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.

1-6 Handling Paper

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 correctly packaged.

Note You might see the printer emitting steam in the area around

the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue printing.

Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

Paper Type to be Used Paper Type to be Selected

Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²) VELLUM

Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) THICK

Colored paper COLOR

Recycled paper RECYCLED

Overhead projector transparencies TRANSPARENCY

Postcards CARDSTOCK

Envelopes ENVELOPE

Label LABELS

Coated paper COATED

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes, postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP tray. For details, refer to Paper Source (Selecting the paper feed source) on page 2-34.

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 and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.

Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample

on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

Handling Paper 1-7

Transparency

Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4).

The table below lists the specifications for transparency:

Item Specification

Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F)

Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils)

Material Polyester

Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches)

Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°

To prevent printing problems, feed transparencies into the printer one sheet at a time from the MP tray. Always load the transparencies vertically (with the long edge towards the printer).

If the transparencies have rough edges on the back, it may cause a paper jam. Remove the rough edges, reverse the sides or feed the sheet from the opposite edge.

When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.

1-8 Handling Paper

Labels

Labels must be fed from the MP tray.

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.

Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. 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 used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are liable 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.

Thickness of top sheet 0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils)

Composite thickness 0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)

Moisture content 4 to 6 % (composite)

Handling Paper 1-9

Postcards

Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams.

Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.

Envelopes

Slide the envelope switch to envelope mode and print.

IMPORTANT Envelopes cannot be printed in paper mode. When printing plain paper while the envelope mode is selected, the printing speed and quality will lower than in paper mode.

Rough Edge

Envelope Switch

Envelopes should always be fed from the MP tray, with the print-side down.

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 1-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.

• Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

• Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.

• If jams occur, try setting a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.

• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 printed envelopes on the top tray.

1-10 Handling Paper

Thick Paper

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.

Note If the paper jams

even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2. 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 satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2. 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 except for whiteness, refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2.

Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the

machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

Coated Paper

Coated paper is created by treating the surface of the base paper with a coating that provides higher printing quality than plain paper. Coated paper is used for particularly high quality printing.

The surface of high-quality or medium-quality paper is coated with special agents that improve ink coverage by making the paper surface smoother. These agents are used either to coat both sides of the paper or just one side. The coated side appears slightly glossy.

IMPORTANT When printing on coated paper in very humid environments, ensure that the paper is kept dry as moisture may cause sheets to stick together when they are fed into the printer.

Handling Paper 1-11

Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-510)

If you are going to load non standard paper in the optional paper feeder PF-510, cut out the blank section of the attached paper type indicator sheet, fold the remaining sheet in half and insert it into the cassette's display folder so that the paper type symbol is displayed.

Network (Network settings)

This printer supports TCP/IP and TCP/IP (IPv6) protocols.

IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol. This printer routinely uses the TCP/IP (IPv4) protocol, but provides a separate setting for the nextgeneration IP, IPv6.

TCP/IP (IPv4) uses 32-bit IP addresses, but the rapid growth in the number of Internet users has resulted in a shortage of IP addresses. IPv6 was developed to expand the range of available IP addresses by using 128-bit IP addresses.

The options available in the Network settings are as follows:

• TCP/IP (IPv4 settings)

• TCP/IP (IPv6) (IPv6 settings)

Note Check with your network administrator when selecting the

network setting.

1 Press [MENU].

Network >

2 Press U or V repeatedly until Network > appears.

TCP/IP (IPv4 settings)

This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv4).

The TCP/IP system refers to the Internet system, which has a 5-layer structure consisting of the interface layer, link layer, network (IP) layer, transport (TCP/UDP) layer and application layer.

The interface layer is a key layer in the TCP/IP system that provides an abstracted interface that is not dependent on the link (communication line: frame relay or Ethernet, etc.) to the IP module (IP layer). This means that the IP module can use this abstracted interface (which is not dependent on the link type) to exchange IP packets back and forth with the link layer.

The options available in the TCP/IP (IPv4) settings are as follows:

• DHCP (DHCP setting)

• IP Address (IP address setting)

• Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting)

• Gateway (Gateway setting)

• Bonjour (Bonjour setting)

IMPORTANT The DHCP, IP address, subnet mask, gateway and Bonjour menu options for TCP/IP are displayed when TCP/IP is enabled.

DHCP (DHCP setting)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol that assigns the information required to establish a network connection when a host attempts to connect to the network (Internet). This information includes the IP address of the local node and the default router (the router in the host's own network system) and the DNS (Domain Name System) server. DHCP is an extension of the BOOTP (Bootstrap) startup protocol.

6 Press [MENU]. The display returns to Ready.

IP Address (IP address setting)

An IP address is the address of a network device such as a computer and is included in IP packets as needed for the sending and receiving of Internet data (IP packets). (IP addresses can be either destination addresses or source addresses.)

Specifically, an IP address is a bit string consisting of a host address (or host section) that identifies a computer (host) connected to the Internet and a network address (or network section) that identifies the network to which that computer belongs (or more specifically, the computer's network interface). Bit strings (IP addresses) that are unique throughout the entire Internet system are allocated to each computer or interface.

The IP addresses currently used on the Internet (IPv4) have a fixed length of 32 bits.

Note When you enter the IP address, be sure to set the DHCP

setting to Off.

1 Press Z while >TCP/IP On > is displayed.

2 Press U or V repeatedly until >>IP Address appears.

>>IP Address

000.000.000.000

6 Press [MENU]. The display returns to Ready.

Using the Operation Panel 2-43

Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting)

The subnet mask is a way of augmenting the network address section of an IP address.

A subnet mask represents all network address sections as 1 and all host address sections as 0. The number of bits in the prefix indicates the length of the network address. The term "prefix" refers to something added to the beginning and, in this context, indicates the first section of the IP address.

When an IP address is written, the length of the network address can indicated by the prefix length after a forward slash (/). For example, "24" in the address "133.210.2.0/24". In this way, "133.210.2.0/24" denotes the IP address "133.210.2.0" with a 24-bit prefix (network section).

This new network address section (originally part of the host address) made possible by the subnet mask is referred to as the subnet address.

Note When you enter the subnet mask, be sure to set the DHCP

setting to Off.

1 Press Z while >TCP/IP On > is displayed.

2 Press U or V repeatedly until >>Subnet Mask appears.

6 Press [MENU]. The display returns to Ready.

Gateway (Gateway setting)

Gateway generally refers to a protocol conversion device used to allow networks with differing protocol systems to interconnect.

For example, a "Gateway" device is required to connect a different closed network (using its own protocols) to the open Internet (using TCP/IP).

By installing a gateway, the communications protocols and data display modes on different networks can be made compatible.

On TCP/IP networks, the term gateway is used to refer to routers.

Note Before you input the gateway, be sure to set the DHCP

setting to Off.

6 Press [MENU]. The display returns to Ready.

Bonjour (Bonjour setting)

Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, is a service that automatically detects computers, devices and services on an IP network.

Bonjour, because an industry-standard IP protocol is used, allows devices to automatically recognize each other without an IP address being specified or DNS server being set.

Bonjour also sends and receives network packets by UDP port 5353. If a firewall is enabled, the user must check that UDP port 5353 is left open so that Bonjour will run correctly. Some firewalls are set up so as to reject only certain Bonjour packets. If Bonjour does not run stably, check the firewall settings and ensure that Bonjour is registered on the exceptions list and that Bonjour packets are accepted. If you install Bonjour on Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, the Windows firewall will be set up correctly for Bonjour.

This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv6).

TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4). IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.

The options available in the TCP/IP (IPv6) settings are as follows:

When the RAM disk is activated = The maximum RAM disk size is 16MB (when no options are attached)

When the optional memory is installed = The maximum RAM disk size is 1/2 of the total optional memory installed

To activate RAM disk in the printer's memory, first you must set the RAM disk mode to On and set the desired data size for the RAM disk as described in the following section. This allows you to perform the following operations on the RAM disk.

Note The printer supports three types of storage device; memory

card, optional hard disk, and RAM disk. The memory card and optional hard disk are installed into the dedicated slots of the printer. The RAM disk is an allocated part of the printer’s memory.

IMPORTANT The RAM disk can not be used when an optional hard disk is installed. The RAM disk stores data only temporarily. When the printer is reset or turned off, the stored data will be erased. The RAM disk allows some Job Box functions to be used. The RAM disk is allocated from the printer memory available to users. If the size of the RAM disk is set too large, the printing speed may decrease or the memory may become insufficient.

NetWare (NetWare setting)

NetWare is a PC-based network operating system specifically for servers.

NetWare is a client-server system that operates by installing the NetWare OS on the server and dedicated client modules (NetWare clients) on the client machines (running MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows, etc.). The basic network layer protocol used is NetWare's own IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange)/SPX (Sequenced Packet eXchange), but the system also supports TCP/IP.

The feature of the NetWare OS is that it is specifically for servers, unlike general-purpose operating systems such as Windows NT and UNIX. Only the minimum required for server operation can be performed from the NetWare OS console on the server. Server and file management is basically carried out using management tools from the clients. Also, all drivers and protocol stacks are in the form of modules called NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs), and the ability of NLMs to load and unload flexibly and dynamically is a major advantage of this system.

The default setting is On.

Note Check with your network administrator when selecting

network settings.
