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 220g/m² media.

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.
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
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.

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you have one, or multi
purpose tray) you have the printer 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 “AUTO TRAY SWITCH” on page 25.)

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.

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

To prevent paper jams:
>Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper.

>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 face up (rear) stacker (a) is closed
(the paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is
approximately 150 sheets, depending on paper weight.
> For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (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 face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card stock, etc.).

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.
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.
WARNING!
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser will be hot. This area
is clearly labelled. Do not touch.

3.Put the assembly down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent toner from marking
your furniture and to avoid damaging the green drum surface.
CAUTION!
The green image drum surface at the base of the ID unit 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.

(“Setting the driver device options” on page 63).
Installing upgrades > 62
Page 63
S
ETTING THE DRIVER DEVICE OPTIONS
Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to update the printer driver so
that the additional features are available to your applications.
Accessories such as additional paper trays will only be usable if the printer driver on your
computer knows they are there.
In some cases the hardware configuration of your machine is automatically detected when
the driver is installed. However, it is advisable to at least check whether all of the available
hardware features are listed in the driver.
This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra hardware features to your
machine after the drivers have been installed and set up.
Remember that if your machine is shared between users on different computers, the driver
must be adjusted on each user’s machine.
W
INDOWS

menu.
2.Select the Device Options tab.
In the Windows XP PostScript driver the tab may be called Device Settings.

Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on the use of print media, and
you keep the media in good condition prior to use, y ou r pr i n te r sh o u ld g i ve y ea r s o f r el i ab l e
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
Attention LED on the control panel 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.

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.
3.Holding it by its handles, lift the image drum assembly, complete with the toner
cartridges, up and out of the printer.
4.

your furniture and to avoid damaging the green drum surface, and cover.
CAUTION!
The green image drum surface at the base of the Image Drum 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
