xvi

During printing, small amounts of ozone and other chemicals are
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.

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.

Handling of Plastic Bags

WARNING Keep the plastic bags that are used with the

printer away from children. The plastic may cling to their
nose and mouth causing suffocation.

xvii

Precautions for Use

Cautions when Using the Printer

• 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 voltage 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 escapes, 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 ({) 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 ({) 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 maintenance or repair
of internal parts.

• 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 ({). 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 moving the machine, pull out two carrying handles on the left
side, and move with carrying handles and the having hand two place
of the right side.

xviii

• 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 cleaning of internal parts. This is
particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of high humidity.

Handling Paper 3-1

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 163 g/m² (16 to 44
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
(Option) refer to Cassette (1 to 4) Size (Setting the cassette paper
size) on page 4-49.
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°.

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 163 g/m² (16 and 44
lb/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220 g/m² (16 and 59 lb/
ream) for the MP tray.

Handling Paper 3-5

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).

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.

3-6 Handling Paper

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.

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.

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 Settings on page 4-46.

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.

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.

3-8 Handling Paper

Top sheet (white
bond paper)
Adhesive

Carrier sheet

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.

The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Item Specification

Weight of top sheet 44 to 74 g/m² (12 to 20 lb/ream)

Composite weight 104 to 151 g/m² (28 to 40 lb/ream)

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 3-9

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.

Rough
Edge

Rough
Edge

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

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

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 3-6. 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.

3-10 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 3-2. 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 3-2. 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
3-2.

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 3-11

Paper Type

The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of
paper being used.

Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operation
panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and
print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.

A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source
including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it
is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types.
Refer to Media Type Set. (Paper type settings) on page 4-50. The
following types of paper can be used.

3-12 Handling Paper

Loading Paper

The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette
and the MP tray.

Loading Paper into the Cassette

1 Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface

to avoid media jams or skewed printing.

2 Pull the paper cassette out toward you until it stops.

Note Do not pull out more than one paper cassette at a time.

3 Adjust the paper length guide to the length of the paper.

When loading A4 or smaller paper into paper cassette 1, raise the
paper length guide. For B4 or larger paper, lower the paper length
guide.

4 Grasp the paper width adjustment knob and adjust the paper width

guides to the width of the paper.

Handling Paper 3-13

Note Paper sizes are indicated on the paper cassettes as

shown.

To change between inch sizes and metric sizes (A, B sizes), follow
the steps below to change the setting of the size switch.

1 Grasp the paper width adjustment knob and move the paper

width guides to a position other than that of the size of the
paper.

2 Turn size switch A 90°.

3 Move size lever B up (C) or down (I).

C: Metric sizes (centimeters) (A, B sizes)
I: Inch sizes

4 Turn the size switch 90° to lock it.

5 Align the paper against the left side of the paper cassette.

IMPORTANT Before loading the paper, be sure that it is not curled or
folded. Paper that is curled or folded may cause paper jams.

Ensure that the loaded paper is not higher than the level indicator (see
illustration below).

When loading the paper, make sure that the side that was closest to
the package seal is facing up.

The paper length and width guides must be adjusted to the paper
size. Loading the paper without adjusting these guides may cause
skewed feeding and paper jams.

Make sure that the paper length and width guides are in contact with
the paper. If there is a gap, readjust the guides.

6 Insert the appropriate paper size card in the slot to indicate the size

of the paper.

7 Gently push the paper cassette back in.

Note If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period,

protect the paper from humidity by removing it from the paper
cassettes and sealing it in its original packaging.

8 On the operation panel, set the type of paper (plain, recycled, etc.)

that is loaded in the paper cassette. Refer to Paper Settings on page
4-46.

3-14 Handling Paper

Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray

1 Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface

to avoid media jams or skewed printing.

2 Open the MP tray.

3 When loading paper sizes from A3 to B4 or Ledger to Legal, pull out

the MP extension.

4 Adjust the paper width guides to the width of the paper.

Paper sizes are indicated on the MP tray.

Handling Paper 3-15

5 Insert the paper along the paper width guides into the tray until it

stops.

IMPORTANT Make sure that the side that was closest to the package
seal is facing up.

Curled paper must be straightened before use.

Straighten the top edge if it is curled.

Before loading paper in the MP tray, make sure no paper remains in
the tray from a previous job. If a small amount of paper remains in the
MP tray and you want to add more, remove the remaining paper from
the tray, combine it with the new paper, fan the paper, and then load
in the tray.

Private/Stored (Printing a Private Print/Stored Job)

In private printing, you can specify that a job is not printed until you
release the job from the operation panel. When sending the job from the
application software, specify a 4-digit access code in the printer driver.
The job is released for printing by entering the access code on the
operation panel ensuring confidentiality of the print job.

In the stored job mode, access codes are not mandatory, but can be set
on the printer driver if printing with PIN security is required. Then, the
access code must be entered on the operation panel to print a stored job.
Print data will be stored in the hard disk after printing.

Note Refer to Printer Driver User Guide for the driver settings.
