PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS
For guidance on the media you can use with your printer, which input
tray and which ejection method to use, see the section entitled “Paper
and tray information” in the “Specifications” chapter.
PAPER AND ENVELOPE TYPES
The manufacturer of this printer recommends the following guidelines
when selecting paper and envelopes for use in your printer:
l Paper and envelopes should be stored flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.
l Use a smooth finished paper such as copier or laser type paper
with a Sheffield (smoothness) rating of 250 or less. If in doubt,
please ask your paper supplier.
l Use envelopes designed for use in laser type printers.
l The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously impact
on the life of the image drum.
l Do not use very smooth, shiny/glossy paper.
l Do not use heavily embossed headed paper.
l Avoid printing on both sides and putting paper through the
printer twice.
l Avoid using paper with perforations, cut-outs and ragged
edges.
l Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
l Do not use envelopes with self sealing flaps.
l Avoid using damaged or curled envelopes.
PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS > 24
TRANSPARENCIES AND ADHESIVE LABELS
The manufacturer of this printer recommends the following guidelines
when selecting transparencies and adhesive labels for use in your
printer:
l Always use manual feed.
l Always use rear output.
l Media must be designed for use in laser printers or
photocopiers and must be able to withstand 200°C for 0.1 sec.
l Do not use media designed for use in colour laser printers and
photocopiers
l Labels should cover entire carrier sheet.
l Carrier sheet or adhesive must not

INSTALLING PAPER
NOTE
If you are topping up the paper in the paper tray, it is recommended that
you remove the remaining paper from the tray first then add the new
paper stock followed by the paper you removed. This ensures that the
oldest paper is used first to help prevent paper jams.
Remove the paper tray from the bottom of the printer and
1.
place plain paper in the tray, keeping the level of the paper in
the tray below the guide arrowheads shown on the paper
guides (1).

NOTE
Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of
the paper tray.
PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS > 26
Adjust the rear paper support (2) to the size of paper you are
2.
using by gripping the lugs (3), tilting and sliding the support
forwards or backwards as necessary.
Adjust the paper guides (1). It is important to adjust the paper
3.
guides correctly to ensure that the paper is not skewed in the
print process. Paper jams may occur if this operation is not
carried out correctly.
Replace the tray in the printer. The paper level indicator (4)
4.
provides a visual indication of how much paper is left in the
tray.
FACE UP AND FACE DOWN PRINTING
For face down printing, make sure the rear paper exit tray is closed
(the paper exits from the top of the printer). The paper exit bin on the
top of the printer stacks printed pages face down, capacity 150 sheets
of weight 80 g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be
sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).
For face up printing, make sure the face up rear paper exit tray is open
and the paper guide is extended if required. In this condition, paper
will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings. Paper is stacked in
reverse order, capacity 50 sheets of weight 80 g/m².
Always use this tray and the manual feed tray for heavyweight stocks
to reduce the possibility of paper jams.
PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS > 27
PRINTING ENVELOPES
Pull out the rear paper exit tray (1) until it locks and lift out the
1.
paper guide (2).

Pull down the manual feed tray (3) and adjust the paper guides

grips it.
Set envelope size and landscape orientation in your software,
4.
then issue the print command.

HEAVYWEIGHT PAPER OR CARDSTOCK
The normal paper path from a main paper tray to the top output stack
involves two complete U-turns. This may sometimes cause very
heavyweight paper or cardstock to jam or misfeed.
Use the manual feed tray to feed this type of paper and the rear paper
exit to collect printed output. This gives a nearly straight paper path
through the machine and may prove more reliable in this type of
application.
PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS > 28
PAPER FEED, SIZE AND MEDIA SETTING
The process used to fuse (fix) the printed image to the paper involves
a mixture of pressure and heat. Too much heat will cause lightweight
paper to crease or curl and corrugations in transparencies. Too little

port requires a cable conforming to USB version 2.0 or above.
The operation of a printer is not assured if a USB-compatible
device is connected concurrently with other USB-compatible
machines.
When connecting multiple printers of the same type, they
appear as *****, ***** (2), ***** (3), etc. These numbers
depend on the order of connecting or turning on each printer.

PRINTER DRIVERS
This chapter describes how to install a printer driver on two types of
operating system – Windows and Macintosh.
The printer drivers are all contained on the printer driver CD-ROM
(CD1). Please refer to the readme file on this CD for the latest
information on printer driver installation.
WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS
With Windows running, insert the printer driver CD-ROM (CD1)
1.
into your CD-ROM drive.
If the CD does not run automatically, use [Start]-[Run...] and
2.
enter E:\setup (where E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open
field.
Click on [OK].
3.
Click on [Driver Installation] then [Install Printer Driver] and
4.
follow the on-screen prompts to complete your printer driver
installation.
After installing the driver(s) click on Software Utilities, select

OPERATION
This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer
from either a Windows or a Macintosh environment.
PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS
NOTE
The illustrations in this guide relate to Windows 2000 – other operating
system windows may appear slightly different but the principles are the
same.
The Status Monitor controlled menus (described in the chapter
entitled “Operator panel and Status Monitor”) provide access to many
options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these
items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the
Status Monitor menus, and you print documents from Windows, the
settings in the Windows printer driver will override those settings in
the Status Monitor menus.
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
When you choose to print your document from a Windows application
program a Print dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies
the name of the printer on which you will print your document. Next to

Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a

special print file) before being printed. The document is then
printed in the background, allowing your application program
to become available more quickly. Options follow:
This specifies that printing should not start until the last page
has been spooled. If your application program needs a lot of
time for further computation in the middle of printing, causing
the print job to pause for more than a short period, the printer
could prematurely assume that the document has finished.
Selecting this option would prevent that situation, but printing
will be completed a little later, as the start is delayed.
This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts as
soon as possible after the document begins spooling.
OPERATION > 38
This specifies that the document should not be spooled, but
4.
printed directly. Your application will not normally be ready for
further use until the print job is complete. This requires less
disk space on your computer, since there is no spool file.
Directs the spooler to check the document setup and match it
5.
to the printer setup before sending the document to print. If a
mismatch is detected, the document is held in the print queue
and does not print until the printer setup is changed and the
document restarted from the print queue. Mismatched
documents in the queue will not prevent correctly matched
documents from printing.
Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which
6.
have completed spooling when deciding which document to
print next, even if completed documents are lower priority
than documents which are still spooling. If no documents have
completed spooling, the spooler will favour larger spooling
documents over shorter ones. Use this option if you want to
maximise printer efficiency. When this option is disabled the
spooler chooses documents based only on their priority
settings.
Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents after
7.
they are completed. This allows documents to be re submitted
to the printer from the spooler instead of printing again from
the application program. If you use this option frequently it
will require large amounts of disk space on your computer.
Specifies whether advanced features, such as pages per
8.
sheet, are available, depending on your printer. For normal
printing keep this option enabled. If compatibility problems
occur you can disable the feature. However, these advanced
options may then not be available, even though the hardware
might support them.
This button provides access to the same setup windows as

CONSUMABLES AND MAINTENANCE
This section deals with the replacement of the toner cartridge and
image drum and general maintenance.
CONSUMABLE ORDER DETAILS
Item Life Order No.
Toner 2,500 A4 @ 5% 01103402
Image drum 25,000 A4 pages* 42102802
* typical for continuous printing
Please always use genuine consumables.
TONER CARTRIDGE LIFE
How long your toner cartridge lasts depends on the print density; the
percentage of the page that prints black. A typical letter has 3% to 5%
print density; graphics usually have higher density. Higher print
density means toner is used up faster. At 5% print density, a standard
toner cartridge will print an average of 2500 pages. Remember, this is
only an average: actual results may vary.
The first toner cartridge installed in a new printer has to fill the image
drum reservoir and saturate the developing roller with toner. The first
standard toner cartridge normally produces about 1,000 pages after
installation.
CONSUMABLES AND MAINTENANCE > 41
WHEN TO REPLACE THE TONER CARTRIDGE
Replace the toner cartridge after Toner Low displays in the printer
Status Monitor. Also, the Error LED indicator slowly blinks when toner
is low. After Toner Low displays, the printer will print about 100 more
pages then display Toner Empty and stop printing. Printing will
resume after a new toner cartridge has been installed.
REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
It is recommended that you clean the LED array at the same time as
you change the toner cartridge.
The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder contained in the
toner cartridge.
Have a sheet of paper handy so that you have somewhere to place the
used cartridge while you install the new one.
Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly, inside the pack that the new
one came in. Follow any regulations, recommendations, etc., which
may be in force concerning waste recycling.
If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not
enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use hot
water, and never use solvents of any kind. They will make stains
permanent.
WARNING!
If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a little water or
bathe your eyes liberally in cold water. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about 10 minutes
before opening the top cover.

CONSUMABLES AND MAINTENANCE > 43
IMAGE DRUM LIFE
The life of an image drum depends on a number of factors, including
temperature and humidity, the type of paper used, and the number of
pages per job.
The image drum should last approximately 25,000 pages continuous
printing. This number is approximate because different numbers of
pages are printed each time and the environmental conditions and
the paper type used may vary.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE IMAGE DRUM
When the drum reaches 90% of its life, a CHANGE DRUM message is
displayed in the printer Status Monitor. Also, the Error LED indicator
blinks fast when the image drum requires changing. Change the
image drum when the print becomes faint or begins to deteriorate.
REPLACING THE IMAGE DRUM
It is recommended that you change the toner cartridge and clean the
LED array at the same time as you change the image drum.
CAUTION!
The green image drum surface at the base of the cartridge is very
delicate and light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose it to
normal room light for more than 5 minutes. If the drum unit needs to be
out of the printer for longer than this, please wrap the cartridge inside
a black plastic bag to keep it away from light. Never expose the drum
to direct sunlight or very bright room lighting. Always hold the image
drum unit by the ends or from the top.
Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully.

PAPER JAMS
Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on use of
print media, and you keep the media in good condition prior to use,
your printer should give years of reliable service. However, paper
jams occasionally do occur, and this section explains how to clear
them quickly and simply.
Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any
point on the paper path through the printer. When a jam occurs, the
printer immediately stops, and the operator panel and Status Monitor
inform you of the event. If printing multiple pages (or copies), do not
assume that having cleared an obvious sheet that others will not also
be stopped somewhere along the path. These must also be removed
in order to clear the jam fully and restore normal operation.
The printer may experience a paper jam in one of three areas.
l INPUT JAM - paper has failed to leave the selected feed tray
and enter the internal paper path of the printer. A typical
message indicates a paper jam and identifies the tray to
check.
l FEED JAM - paper has entered the printer but failed to reach the
exit. A typical message indicates a paper jam and advises you
to open the top cover for access.
l EXIT JAM - paper has reached the exit but has failed to exit
completely from the printer. A typical message indicates an
exit jam and advises you to open the top cover for access.
