Paper and Other Media Supported by This Printer

Paper Recommendations

Note the following suggestions when handling or selecting paper used with this printer.

Loading Paper

• Confirm the paper types of the printer. For more information, see p.33 “Types of Paper and Other Media”. Print quality cannot be guaranteed if other paper types are used.

• Do not use paper that is already printed on.

• If you load paper into the paper tray, be sure not to stack over the limit mark.

• If you load paper onto the Bypass Tray, be sure that paper fits under the side

guide.

• If you load paper into the paper tray, confirm that the print side is facing down.

• If you load paper onto the Bypass Tray, confirm that the print side is facing up.

Storing Paper

Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds or printer damage.

Recommendations are as follows:

• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.

• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.

• Store on a flat surface.

• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.

Types of Paper and Other Media

❖❖❖❖ Plain paper

• If you print on paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb. bond), use the Bypass

Tray. The Bypass Tray can hold paper up to 162 g/m weight.

• If you load paper heavier than 155 g/m

Tray, set the printer to Thick Paper mode using the control panel.

• If paper is curled or bent, correct it before loading.

(41 lb. bond) onto the Bypass

(43 lb. bond) in

Paper and Other Media

❖❖❖❖ OHP transparencies

• Load only one OHP transparency at the same time onto the Bypass Tray.

• When loading an OHP transparency onto the Bypass Tray, set the printer

to Transparency mode with the control panel.

• Be careful not to touch the print side of the OHP transparencies, otherwise

the print side gets dirty or damaged, and results in poor print quality.

• When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it facing

down onto the Bypass Tray.

❖❖❖❖ Adhesive labels

• Load only one adhesive label at the same time onto the Bypass Tray.

• Use adhesive labels in which the whole side can be printed on.

• Do not use adhesive labels having exposed glue.

• If the print side is coated, print quality might be reduced, as the toner

might not fuse well.

❖❖❖❖ Envelopes

• When printing on envelopes, use the Bypass Tray or the Envelope Feeder

Unit.

• Even when the optional Envelope Feeder Unit is not installed, you can se-

lect the sizes for the Envelopes for Tray 2 using the control panel. However, you cannot load the envelopes until optional Envelop Feeder Unit is installed. To use the Envelope Feeder Unit, installation of the optional Paper Feed Unit is required. See “Envelope Feeder Type 2600” in the Setup Guide.

• Specifications of envelopes are as follows:

Metric version Inch version

Weight 72 – 90 g/m

Recommended weight and size

72 g/m

(C6 Env)

, 114 × 162 mm

• You can load up to 10 envelopes (72 – 90 g/m

24 lb. bond, 37/8 × 71/2 inches

(Monarch)

, 19 – 24 lb. bond) onto the Bypass Tray at the same time, without forcibly pressing them. Confirm that the envelopes are not damp, and that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit mark on the side guide. See p.45 “Loading envelopes onto the Bypass Tray”.

• You can load up to 60 envelopes (72 – 90 g/m

, 19 – 24 lb. bond) into optional Envelope Feeder Unit at the same time, without forcibly pressing them. Confirm that the envelopes are not damp, and that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit mark on the side guide. See p.47 “Loading envelopes into the Envelope Feeder Unit”.

• Confirm that the print side is facing up when loading onto the Bypass Tray, and facing down when loading into the optional Envelope Feeder Unit.

Paper and Other Media Supported by This Printer

• Load the envelopes with the flaps aligned to the left side fence. The flaps should be securely folded up.

• Confirm that there is no air in the envelopes before loading.

• To get better print quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left,

top, and bottom print margin, to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.

• Do not print on both sides of envelopes.

• Load only one size and type of envelopes at the same time.

• Before loading envelopes, flatten the leading edges (the side being fed into

Printer Does Not Print

Possible Cause Solutions

Is the power on? Confirm that the cable is securely plugged into the power outlet

and the printer.

Turn on the power switch.

Does the On Line indicator stay on?

Does the Error indicator stay red?

Is paper loaded? Load paper into the paper tray or on the Bypass Tray.

Can you print a configuration page?

Is the interface cable connecting the printer to the computer connected securely?

Are you using the correct interface cable?

Is the paper feed roller clean?

Press {{{{On Line}}}} so the indicator lights.

Check the error message on the panel display and take the required action.

See p.37 “Loading Paper and Other Media”.

If you cannot print a test page, it probably indicates a printer malfunction. You should contact your sales or service representative. See p.110 “List/Test Print Menu”.

If you can print a test page but cannot get the printer to print when you issue a print command from the computer, it probably means there is a problem with the computer.

Note that large or complex data might take a long time to be printed.

Connect the interface cable properly. If there are any connectors or screws, confirm that they are fastened securely.

The type of interface cable you should use depends on the computer. Be sure to use the correct one.

If the cable is damaged or worn, replace it with a new one.

Clean the paper feed roller if it is dirty. See p.94 “Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller”.

Troubleshooting

Possible Cause Solutions

Do you print via a network?

If you use IEEE 1394, check for the followings.

Confirm that the "Ethernet" setting is correct from the control panel. See p.130 “Host Interface Menu”.

The setting governs the data transfer speed used by the Network Interface Board. Three options are available:

• Auto (default)

• 100 Mbps

• 10 Mbps

Note

❒ For more information about the appropriate setting to use on

your network, contact your network administrator.

Make sure the 1394 Interface Unit is installed properly.

Make sure the IEEE 1394 cable is connected properly.

Restart the computer.

If the problem still exists when SCSI print is used with Windows 2000 and Windows XP, go to step D.

Disconnect all the IEEE 1394 cables from the computer.

If you uninstall the printer driver when the printer is connect-

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

WARNING:

• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

• Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer or at appropriate collection sites.

• If you dispose the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to your local regulations.

CAUTION:

• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating "v" (means hot surface). Touching "v" (means hot surface) could result in a burn.

• Do not eat or swallow toner.

• Keep toner (used or unused) and

toner cartridges out of reach of children.

• Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and functionality. When purchasing expendable supplies, we recommend using only those specified by an authorized dealer.

Important

❒ Do not expose the toner cartridge

to light for a long time. Do not leave the front cover open for a long time. If the toner cartridge is exposed to a light for a long time, the toner cartridge might be damaged and print quality might be reduced.

Note

❒ Do not stand or place the toner car-

tridge upside-down.

❒ The actual number of printed pag-

es you get from a particular toner cartridge depends on the type and size of paper you are using, the contents of the print images, and printing environment conditions. All this means that a toner cartridge might require replacement sooner than the normal life described on p.164 “Consumables”.

Open the front cover by pushing

AAAA

the front cover release button.

When “Replace Toner Cartridge” appears on the panel display, the toner is almost empty. Prepare a new toner cartridge. If the image density gets too light, replace the toner cartridge with a new one.
