Energy Saving Function
This printer comes equipped with a Off Mode where the printer turns off
the power after a certain amount of time elapses since the printer was
last used, as well as a Sleep Mode where printer function remains in a
waiting state but power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when
there is no activity with the printer within a set amount of time.
Sleep Mode
The printer automatically enters Sleep Mode when 1 minute has passed
since the printer was last used. The amount of time of no activity that
must pass before Sleep Mode is activated may be lengthened.
Off Mode
This printer automatically enters Off Mode when when 1 hour has
passed since the printer was last used. The amount of time of no activity
that must pass before Off Mode is activated may be lengthened.
x
Duplex Printing
This printer includes duplex printing as a standard function. For example,
by printing two single-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a
duplex printing, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used.
Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to
the conservation of forest resources. Duplex mode also reduces the
amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is
recommended that machines capable of duplex printing be set to use
duplex mode by default.
Resource Saving - Paper
For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is
recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper certified under
environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognised ecolabels,
which meet EN 12281:2002*

Environment
Caution
Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable
or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down
or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal
injury or damage to the machine.
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt
become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the
danger of fire or electrical shock.
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or
locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and
maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave
adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow air to
be properly ventilated out of the printer.
Other Precautions
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and
performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room
(recommended room temperature: around 23°C (73.4°F), humidity:
around 60% RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site
for the machine.
• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.
• Avoid locations with vibrations.
• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
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.
xiii
Power Supply/Grounding the Machine
Warning
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that

General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, 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, troublefree 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/m
2
(16 to 31.9b).

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 shown
below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and width.
The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
MP Tray:
Envelope Monarch, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope #6,
Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II,
Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, ISO A6, Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, JIS B6,
Hagaki, Ofuku-Hagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 × 148 to
216 × 356mm (2-13/16 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16
inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and
Legal as the standard paper size.
Cassette:
Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II, Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, A6 (only
for machine’s paper cassette), Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, Envelope C5, 16
kai, Custom (Paper Cassette: 105 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (4-1/8 × 513/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches), Paper Feeder: 148 × 210 to 216 × 356mm
(5-13/16 × 8-5/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16
inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and
Legal as the standard paper size.
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough
or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper
that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.
(Fogging is a gray background effect.)
