Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Avis de conformité aux normes du ministère des Communications du Canada

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Energy Saving Control Function

The device comes equipped with a Low Power Mode where energy consumption is reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used, as well as a Sleep where printer functions remain in a waiting state but power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the device within a set amount of time.

Low Power Mode

The device automatically enters Low Power Mode when 1 minute has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Low Power Mode is activated may be lengthened. For more information refer to Low Power Timer (Low Power Mode timer timeout time) on page 4-71.

Sleep

The device automatically enters Sleep when 15 minutes have passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep is activated may be lengthened. For more information, refer to Sleep Timer (Sleep timer timeout time) on page 4-71.

Automatic 2-Sided Print Function

This device includes 2-sided printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two 1-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a 2-sided print, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used. For more information refer to Duplex (Duplex printing) on page 4-39.

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 This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m² paper. Using such paper

containing less raw materials can lead to further saving of forest resources.

or an equivalent quality standard, be used.

Environmental benefits of "Power Management"

T o reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that automatically activates energy-saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time.

Although it takes the machine a slight amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a significant reduction in energy consumption is possible. It is recommended that the machine be used with the activation time for energy-saving mode set to the default setting.

General Guidelines 3-2 Selecting the Right Paper 3-4 Paper Type 3-12 Loading Paper 3-13

3-1

Handling Paper

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.

Item Specification

Weight Cassette, PF-520 (optional): 60 to 163 g/m²

(16 to 43 lb/ream) MP Tray, PF-530 (optional): 60 to 220 g/m² (16 to 59 lb/ream)

Handling Paper

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.

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.

Paper Weight Equivalence Table

The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.

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.

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.

3-5

Handling Paper

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 p aper 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 p that is not in use.

and in the same room as

aper

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.

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

Y ou might see the printer e mitting steam in the area around the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue printing.

Handling Paper

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 4-37.

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°

Top sheet (white bond paper) Adhesive

Carrier sheet

UnacceptableAcceptable

Carrier sheet

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.

Labels

Labels must be fed from the MP tray or optional paper feeder PF-530. 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

Rough Edge

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

Envelopes should always be fed from the MP tray, with the print-side up. Envelopes must be fed from the MP tray or optional paper feeder PF-530.

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.

Handling Paper

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).

Note

If you use colored paper quite often, we recommend to use

optional paper feeder PF-530.

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 adhesion 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.

Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-530)

If you are going to load non-standard paper in the optional paper feeder PF-530, fold the provided paper type indicator sheet into thirds so that the appropriate paper type symbol faces out and is at the top, and insert it into the cassette's display folder.

• Envelopes

• Thick paper

• Labels

• Coated paper

The blank sheet can be used to write in any name or symbol. When writing in a name or symbol on the bottom part of the sheet, invert it with respect to the top part.
