When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the
printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used
in conjunction with the multi purpose tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially
straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper path and enables
feeding of up to 203g/m² media.

APER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and
sizes and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains
how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed
for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:
> Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;
> Colour Copy by Neusiedler.
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high
fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of
the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure
fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in
which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may
damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette tray, but in weights from
75 to 203g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This
ensures that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm and lengths up to
1220mm (banner printing).
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 90g/m² and
128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes. Paper should be loaded print side up
and top edge into the printer.

ACE UP STACKER
The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened and the tray extension
extended when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless
of driver settings.
The face up stacker can hold up to 1 sheet of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle
stocks up to 203g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than
120g/m².

For the protection of your product, and in order to ensure that you benefit from
its full functionality, this model has been designed to operate only with genuine
original toner cartridges. Any other toner cartridge may not operate at all, even
if it is described as “compatible”, and if it does work, your product's performance
and print quality may be degraded.
T
ONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
NOTE
When the LCD display indicates TONER LOW, or if print appears faded, first open
the top cover and try tapping the cartridge a few times to evenly distribute the
toner powder. This will enable you to obtain the best "yield" from your toner
cartridge.
CAUTION!
To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not
change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed.
The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder. It is contained in four cartridges:
one each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
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.
Replacing consumable items > 37
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.
1.Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully.

LEARING 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 Alert
LED on the Status Panel (together with the Status Monitor) informs you of the event. If
printing multiple pages (or copies), do not assume that, having cleared an obvious sheet,
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.
1.If a sheet is well advanced out of the top of the printer, simply grip it and pull gently
to draw it fully out. If it does not remove easily, do not use excessive force. It can be
removed from the rear later.
2.Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully.
WARNING!
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser will be hot. This area
is clearly labelled. Do not touch.

It will be necessary to remove the four image drums to gain access to the paper path.
4.Holding it by its top centre, lift the cyan image drum, complete with its toner
cartridge, up and out of the printer.
5.Put the assembly down gently onto a piece of paper to avoid damaging the green
drum surface.
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.

7.Look into the printer to check whether any sheets of paper are visible on any part of
the belt unit.
8.Remove any sheets of paper as follows:
> To remove a sheet with its leading edge at the front of the belt, carefully lift the
sheet from the belt and pull it forwards into the internal drum cavity and
withdraw the sheet.
CAUTION!
Do not use any sharp or abrasive objects to separate sheets from the
belt. This may damage the belt surface.
> To remove a sheet from the central area of the belt, carefully separate the sheet
from the belt surface and withdraw the sheet.
Troubleshooting > 50
> To remove a sheet just entering the fuser , separate the trailing edge of the sheet
from the belt, push the fuser pressure release lever (1) towards the front and
down to release the fuser’s grip on the sheet, and withdraw the sheet through the
drum cavity area. Then allow the pressure release lever to rise again.

NOTE
If the sheet is well advanced into the fuser (only a short length is still visible), do not
attempt to pull it back. Follow the next step to remove it from the rear of the printer.
9.Starting with the cyan image drum unit nearest the fuser, replace the four image
drums into the drum cavity, making sure to locate them in the correct order.

> Holding the complete assembly by its top centre, lower it into place in the printer,
locating the pegs at each end into their slots in the sides of the printer cavity.
10.Lower the top cover but do not press down to latch it closed yet. This will protect the
drums from excessive exposure to room lighting while you check the remaining
areas for jammed sheets.

11.Open the rear stacker and check for a sheet of paper in the rear path area.
> Pull out any sheets found in this area.
> If the sheet is low down in this area and difficult to remove, it is probably still
gripped by the fuser. In this case raise the top cover, reach around and press
down on the fuser pressure release lever (1).

15.Pull out the Cassette Tray and ensure that all paper is stacked properly, is
undamaged, and that the paper guides are properly positioned against the edges of
the paper stack. When satisfied, replace the tray.
16.Finally, close the top cover and press down firmly at both sides so that the cover
latches closed.
When the jam has been cleared, if Jam Recovery is set to ON in the System Configuration
Menu, the printer will attempt to reprint any pages lost due to paper jams.
