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 feed 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 250g/m² media.

HANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE

This can be set in the menu (Admin Setup > Others Setup > Language Setup > Select Language) from the operator panel.

ETTING STARTED

URNING ON THE POWER

1. Plug the AC cord (1) into the AC power socket of your printer.

2. Plug the AC cord into the electric socket.

3. Turn on the main power switch.

4. Hold down the power switch (2) for about 1 second to turn on the power.

The Power switch LED indicator lights up when the printer turns on.

The message “Ready To Print” is displayed in the operator panel once printer is re a dy.

Introduction > 13

URNING OFF THE POWER

1. Hold down the power switch (2) for about a second.

The message “Shutting down. Please wait. Printer will turn off automatically” appears in the operator panel, and the power switch indicator blinks every 1 second.

Then the printer turns off automatically and the power switch indicator goes out.

NOTE

> It may take about 5 minutes to turn off the power. Wait until it turns off.

> Holding down the power switch for more than 5 seconds turns off printer

forcibly. Only perform this procedure when a problem occurs.

2. Turn the main power switch off.

OWER SAVING MODE

If you do not use the machine for a while, it will enter the power saving mode to control the power consumption of the device. To cancel or initiate power saving mode, press the Power Save / Wake Up button on the control panel.

Introduction > 14

APER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, labels 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:

> M-Real Data Copy Everyday 80g/m²

> Color Copy by Mondi 90g/m²

Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.

Pre-printed stationery

CAUTION!

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

Continued use of pre-printed stationery may cause the paper feed performance to degrade over time and paper jams may occur. Clean the paper feed rollers as described on page 64.

Envelopes

CAUTION!

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

CAUTION!

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.

Recommended type is Avery White Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter).

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd or 3rd tray if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can set the printer to automatically switch to the other tray when

the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu functions” on page 23.)

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up to 250

g/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 from 76mm to 215.9mm and lengths from

127.0mm to 1320mm (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. Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of 10mm.

UTPUT TRAY (FACE DOWN

)

C612: The output tray on the top of the printer can hold up to 250 sheets of

80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 188g/m².

C712: The output tray on the top of the printer can hold up to 350 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 188g/m².

Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

EAR OUTPUT TRAY (FACE UP

)

The rear output tray at the rear of the printer should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.

The rear output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 250

g/m².

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than 188g/m².

Paper recommendations > 16

UPLEX UNIT

This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 64 - 220g/m².

NOTE The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

OADING PAPER

NOTE For illustrative purposes, the C712 printer has been shown. If you have a C612 printer, the principle is the same with any exceptions noted.

ASSETTE TRAYS

1. Remove the paper tray from the printer.

Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the middle (2) to ensure that all

sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3).

Loading paper > 18

3. Load paper (letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of the printer), as shown.

> Adjust the rear stopper (a) and paper guides (b) to the size of paper being used.

CAUTION!

C712 ONLY: IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (c) to the size of paper being used (A4 in the above example).

To prevent paper jams:

> Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper.

> Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the type of paper stock.

> Do not load damaged paper.

> Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same time.

> Close the paper tray gently.

Loading paper > 19

> Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described below for the

2nd tray).

NOTE

> If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st (upper) tray, you

can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during printing to reload it. However, if you are printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will cause a paper jam.

> For face down printing, make sure the rear output tray (a) is closed (the

paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets for the C612 and 350 sheets for the C712, depending on paper weight.

> For face up printing, make sure the rear output tray (a) is open and the

paper support (b) is extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.

> Always use the rear output tray for heavy paper (card stock, etc.).

CAUTION!

Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as it may result in a paper jam.

Loading paper > 20

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

1. Open the multi purpose tray (a).

2. Fold out the paper supports (b).

3. Press gently down on the paper platform (c) to ensure it is latched down.

4. Load the paper and adjust the paper guides (d) to the size of paper being used.

> For single-sided printing on headed paper load the paper into the multi purpose

tray with pre-printed side up and top edge into the printer.

> For two-sided (duplex) printing on headed paper load the paper with pre-printed

side down and top edge away from the printer. (Optional duplex unit must be installed for this function.)

> Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to the left and short edge into

the printer. Do not select duplex printing on envelopes.

> Do not exceed the paper capacity of about 100 sheets or 10 envelopes. Maximum

stacking depth is 10mm.

5. Press the tray latch button inwards to release the paper platform, so that the paper is lifted and gripped in place.

6. Set the correct paper size for the multi purpose tray in the Media Menu (see “Menu

functions” on page 23).
