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—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 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—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 electrical outlet.

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

• If an optional tray is installed, then remove it from the printer. To remove the optional tray, slide the latch on the

right side of the tray toward the front of the tray until it clicks into place.

• Use the handholds located on both sides of the printer to lift it.

• Make sure your fingers are not under the printer when you set it down.

• Before setting up the printer, make sure there is adequate clearance around it.

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

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the controller 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 electrical 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.

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

Safety information 5

Safety information 6

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.

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.

Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network

Notes:

• Make sure your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly.

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

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 three 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

Additional printer setup 24

• 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.

– To find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation that came

with the access point, see the Web page associated with the access point, or consult your system support person.

Connecting the printer to a wireless network using the Wi‑Fi Protected Setup PIN

The printer supports only the personal identification number (PIN) method of connecting to a wireless network using Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) methods.

Note: Make sure your access point (wireless router) is WPS certified or WPS‑compatible. For more information, see the documentation that came with your access point.

1 Print a network setup page or menu settings page. For more information, see “Printing a menu settings and network

setup page” on page 26.

2 Locate the WPS PIN in the Wireless section.

3 Open a Web browser, and then type the IP address of your access point in the address field.

Notes:

• The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.

• If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

4 Access the WPS settings. For more information, see the documentation that came with your access point.

5 Enter the eight‑digit WPS PIN, and then save the setting.

Using the standard bin and paper stop

The standard bin holds up to 150 sheets of 20‑lb paper. It collects prints facedown. The standard bin includes a paper stop that keeps paper from sliding out the front of the bin as it stacks.

To open the paper stop, pull it so that it flips forward.

Note: Close the paper stop when moving the printer to another location.

Loading trays

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all

other trays closed until needed.

1 Pull out the tray completely.

Note: Do not remove trays while a job prints or while the following light sequence appears on the printer

control panel. Doing so may cause a jam.
