Meter Reading Instructions

If your monthly Océ invoices are calculated based on your prod-uct usage. You can help ensure accurate billing by providing us with accurate meter reads every month. There are three methods to enter meter readings:

1 If your equipment is networked and your organization has an SMTP mail server, you can set

up the product to automatically share the meter information with Océ. This is the most popular, and least time-intensive method for you. To download set-up instructions, go to www.oceusa.com and open the Drivers and Support page for this model.

2 Use the Océ “E-Z Reading” web site to enter your monthly readings. We can even set you up

to receive a monthly e-mail reminder. Go to www.oceusa.com and click on Meter Reads.

3 Enter your readings by phone by calling 800-945-9708.

Checking the page counters

You can see the machine’s page counters for copies, printed pages, reports and lists, faxes or a summary total.

Record the Total and B&W counters and enter them on the Océ “E-Z Reading” web site. 1 Press Menu, 8, 2.

The LCD shows number of pages for Total, Fax/List and Copy.

Handling and using special paper 2

The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

 Your supplier should be informed that the

paper or envelopes will be used in a color laser machine.

 Preprinted paper must use inks that can

withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process (392 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade for a period of 0.1 seconds).

 If you have selected a cotton bond paper,

paper having a rough surface, such as cockle or laid finished paper or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.

Types of paper to avoid 2

CAUTION

Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.

DO NOT use paper:

• that is highly textured

• that is extremely smooth or shiny

• that is curled or warped

1 0.08 in. (2 mm) or greater

• that is coated or has a chemical finish

• that is damaged, creased or folded

• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide

• with tabs and staples

• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography

• that is multipart or carbonless

• that is designed for inkjet printing

If you use any of the types of paper listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Océ warranty or service agreement.

Chapter 2

Envelopes 2

Most envelopes will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes will have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two pieces of paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.

Envelopes can only be fed from MP tray. Before you put envelopes in the tray, check

the following:

 Envelopes should have a lengthwise

sealing flap.

 The sealing flaps should be folded crisply

and correctly (irregularly cut or folded envelopes may cause paper jams).

 Envelopes should consist of two layers of

paper in the area circled in figure below.

1 Feeding direction

Note

• Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’ the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

• Before you print a lot of envelopes, test one to make sure that the print results are what you want.

• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.

• DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

• For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in the tray.

• We recommend that you do not print within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of envelopes.

• See Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.

Loading paper and documents

Types of envelopes to avoid 2

CAUTION

DO NOT use envelopes:

• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape

• that are extremely shiny or textured

• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie strings

• with self-adhesive closures

• that are of a baggy construction

• that are not sharply creased

• that are embossed (have raised writing on them)

• that were previously printed by a laser machine

• that are pre-printed on the inside

• that cannot be arranged neatly when stacked

• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the machine

• with edges that are not straight or consistently square

• with windows, holes, cut-outs or perforations

• with glue on surface as shown in figure below

• with double flaps as shown in figure below

• with sealing flaps that have not been folded at purchase

• with sealing flaps as shown in figure below

• with each side folded as shown in figure below

If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Océ warranty or service agreement.

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

Chapter 2

Labels 2

The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the belt unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.

All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and may cause damage to your machine.

Labels can be fed from the MP tray only.

Types of labels to avoid 2

DO NOT use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.

CAUTION

Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your machine will be damaged.

Loading paper and envelopes 2

The machine can feed paper from the standard paper tray, optional lower tray or multi-purpose tray.

When printing on plain paper 16 to 28 lb (60 to 105 g/m

) use the paper tray.

For printing on other types of media use the MP tray (multi-purpose tray).

When you put paper into the paper tray, note the following:

 If your application software supports

paper size selection on the print menu, you can select it through the software. If your application software does not support it, you can set the paper size in the printer driver or by using the control panel buttons.

 Before using paper that has holes in it,

such as organizer sheets, you must ‘fan’ the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.
