Safety information 11

Safety information

Connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet that is near the product and easily accessible.

Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: This product uses a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and the heat may cause the media to release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting print media to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The lithium battery in this product is not intended to be replaced. There is a danger of explosion if a lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not recharge, disassemble, or incinerate a lithium battery. Discard used lithium batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more trained personnel to lift it safely.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Before moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury or printer damage:

• Turn the printer off using the power switch, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer before moving it.

• Lift the printer off the optional drawer, and set it aside instead of trying to lift the drawer and printer at the same

time.

Note: Use the handholds located on both sides of the printer to lift it off the optional drawer.

Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacement.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce risk of fire, use only the telecommunications (RJ‑11) cord provided with this product or a UL Listed 26 AWG or larger replacement when connecting this product to the public switched telephone network.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure that all external connections (such as Ethernet and telephone system connections) are properly installed in their marked plug-in ports.

This product is designed, tested, and approved to meet strict global safety standards with the use of specific manufacturer's components. The safety features of some parts may not always be obvious. The manufacturer is not responsible for the use of other replacement parts.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between objects such as furniture and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect the power cord regularly for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet before inspecting it.

Refer service or repairs, other than those described in the user documentation, to a service representative.

Safety information 12

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock when cleaning the interior or exterior of the printer, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect all cables to the printer before proceeding.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not set up this product or make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the fax feature, power cord, or telephone, during a lightning storm.

CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using multiple input options. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and faxes, then you may need additional furniture. For more information, see

• Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.

• Do not connect the installation or network cables until prompted to do so by the setup software.

Make sure you have the following information before setting up the printer on a wireless network:

• SSID—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.

• Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.

• Channel (for ad hoc networks)—The channel defaults to automatic for infrastructure networks.

Some ad hoc networks will also require the automatic setting. Check with your system support person if you are not sure which channel to select.

• Security Method—There are four basic options for Security Method: – WEP key

If your network uses more than one WEP key, then enter up to four in the provided spaces. Select the key currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key.

– WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase

WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must be set for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be able to communicate on the network.

– 802.1X–RADIUS

If you are installing the printer on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following:

• Authentication type

• Inner authentication type

• 802.1X user name and password

• Certificates

– No security

If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security information.

Note: Using an unsecured wireless network is not recommended.

Notes:

– If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless utility

of the computer network adapter, and then look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person.

Verifying printer setup

When all hardware and software options are installed and the printer is turned on, verify that the printer is set up correctly by printing the following:

• Menu settings page—Use this page to verify that all printer options are installed correctly. A list of installed options

appears toward the bottom of the page. If an option you installed is not listed, then it is not installed correctly. Remove the option, and then install it again. For more information, see “Printing a menu settings page” on page 73 for non‑touch‑screen printer models, or “Printing a menu settings page” on page 115 for touch‑screen printer models.

• Network setup page—If your printer has Ethernet or wireless capability and is attached to a network, then print a

network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that aids network printing configuration. For more information, see “Printing a network setup page” on page 73 for non‑touch screen printer models, or “Printing a network setup page” on page 116 for touch‑screen printer models.

Learning about the printer

Selecting a location for the printer

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more

trained personnel to lift it safely.

When selecting a location for the printer, leave enough room to open trays, covers, and doors. If you plan to install any options, then leave enough room for them also. It is important to:

• Set up the printer near a properly grounded and easily accessible electrical outlet.

• Make sure airflow in the room meets the latest revision of the ASHRAE 62 standard or the CEN Technical Committee

156 standard.

• Provide a flat, sturdy, and stable surface.

• Keep the printer: – Clean, dry, and free of dust. – Away from stray staples and paper clips. – Away from the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ventilators. – Free from direct sunlight and humidity extremes.

• Observe the recommended temperatures and avoid fluctuations:

Ambient temperature 15.6-32.2°C (60-90°F)

Storage temperature -40° to 40°C (-40 to 104°F)

• Allow the following recommended amount of space around the printer for proper ventilation:

1 Right side 100 mm (3.9 in.)

2 Front 400 mm (15.7 in.)

Using C746x 47

3 Left side 150 mm (5.9 in.)

4 Rear 100 mm (3.9 in.)

5 Top 150 mm (5.9 in.)

Printer configurations

CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must

use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using a high-capacity input tray, a duplex unit and an input option, or more than one input option. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and faxes, you may need additional furniture. For more information, see www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.

You can configure your basic printer by adding up to three 550‑sheet optional drawers and a 2,000‑sheet high‑capacity feeder. A caster base and a spacer are supported in any configurations.

Spacers are nonfunctional trays used to add height to a printer stack. A spacer must be placed:

• Directly on a caster base or table top

• At the bottom of all tray stacks and cannot be used with an optional 2,000‑sheet high‑capacity drawer.

For information on installing a spacer, see the instruction sheet that came with the part.

Securing the printer

Locking the system board

To lock access to the system board, attach a security lock to the printer in the location identified in the illustration. The printer is compatible with most laptop computer security locks.

Statement of Volatility

Your printer contains various types of memory that can store printer and network settings, and user data.

Types of memory Description

Volatile memory Your printer uses standard Random Access Memory (RAM) to temporarily buffer user data during simple

print and copy jobs.

Non-volatile memory

Hard disk memory Some printers have a hard disk drive installed. The printer hard disk is designed for device-specific

Erase the contents of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:

• The printer is being decommissioned.

• The printer hard disk is being replaced.

• The printer is being moved to a different department or location.

• The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization.

• The printer is being removed from your premises for service.

• The printer is being sold to another organization.

Your printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory: EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types are used to store the operating system, device settings, network information, scanner and bookmark settings, and embedded solutions.

functionality. This lets the device retain buffered user data from complex scan, print, copy, and fax jobs, as well as form data and font data.

Disposing of a printer hard disk

Note: Some printer models may not have a printer hard disk installed.

Using C746x 78

In high‑security environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to make sure that confidential data stored in the printer hard disk cannot be accessed when the printer—or its hard disk—is removed from your premises.

• Degaussing—Flushes the hard disk with a magnetic field that erases stored data

• Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable

• Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits

Note: Most data can be erased electronically, but the only way to guarantee that all data is completely erased is to physically destroy each hard disk where data is stored.

Erasing volatile memory

The volatile memory (RAM) installed in your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the buffered data, turn off the printer.

Erasing non‑volatile memory

• Individual settings, device and network settings, security settings, and embedded solutions—Erase information

and settings by selecting Wipe All Settings in the Configuration menu.

• Fax data—Erase fax settings and data by selecting Wipe All Settings in the Configuration menu.
