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 203g/m² media.

APER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range
of paper weights and sizes, transparencies 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.
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in
copiers and laser printers. In particular, avoid office
transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens.
These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.
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. Suitable types are:
• Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4),
or 5161 (Letter);

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray
if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can 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 settin gs. (See “Printer Settings in
Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems,
this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions”
later in this guide.)
M
ULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette
trays but in weights up 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 1200mm (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 and
transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10
envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum
stacking depth of 10mm.
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top
edge into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing)
function.
Paper recommendations> 12
Page 13
F
ACE DOWN STACKER
The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to
250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper
stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1
first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing
down).
F
ACE UP STACKER
The face up stacker 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 face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets 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 176g/m².
D
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 75-105g/m².

4.Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the
size of paper being used.
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.
• Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except
as described below for the 2nd tray).
• Close the paper tray gently.
5.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 printing from the 2nd
(lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will
cause a paper jam.
Loading paper> 15
Page 16
6.For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear)
stacker (3) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the
printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets,
depending on paper weight.
7.For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear)
stacker (3) is open and the paper support (4) is extended.
Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is
approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.

RINTER SETTINGS IN
Your printer’s operator panel menus 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 operator panel menus, and you print documents
from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will
override those items in the operator panel menus.
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Other
Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the
principles are the same.
P
RINTING 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
the printer name is a Properties
button.
When you click Properties a new
window opens which contains a short list of the printer settings
available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.
The settings available from within your application are only those
which you may want to change for specific applications or
documents. Settings you change here will usually only last for as
long as the particular application program is running.

1.Paper size should be the
same as the page size of
5

your document (unless
you wish to scale the
printout to fit another
size), and should also be
the same as the size of
paper you will feed into the printer.
2.You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which
may be Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you
have the optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multi
purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part
of the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.
3.The setting for paper weight should match the type of
paper on which you intend to print.
4.A variety of document finishing options can be selected,
such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can
be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages
at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints
two pages per sheet on each side of the paper so that
when folded they make up a booklet. Booklet printing
requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer.
Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over
multiple sheets.
5.For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by
the long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires
that a duplex unit be installed in your printer.
6.If you have changed some printing preferences before and
saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having
to set them individually each time you need them.

1.The output resolution of the printed page can be set as
follows.
• The High Quality setting prints at 600 x 600dpi x 2 bit.
This option requires the most printer memory and
takes the longest to print.
• The Fine/Detail setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi and is
adequate for all but the most discerning applications.
• The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is
suitable for mostdraft documents, where print quality
is less critical.
2.You can print watermark text behind the main page
image. This is useful for marking documents as draft,
confidential, etc.
3.You can select up to 999 copies to print consecutively,
although you will need to top up the paper tray during
such a long print run.
4.Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or
landscape (wide).
5.You printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller
stationery.

1.Control over the colour output of your printer may be
performed automatically, or for advanced control, by
manual adjustment. The automatic setting will be
appropriate in most cases. The other options in this
window only become visible when you select a choice
other than Auto. For greyscale printing, the printer runs at
24ppm and all pages are printed in black and white.
2.You can choose from a range of colour matching options,
depending on the image source for your document. For
example, a photograph taken on a digital camera might
require different colour matching to a business graphic
created in a spreadsheet application. Again, for most
general purpose use, automatic is the best choice.
3.Printed output may be made lighter or darker, or the
colours made more saturated and vibrant as required.
4.Black areas may be printed using 100% cyan, magenta
and yellow (composite black), giving a more glossy
appearance, or using only black toner (true black), giving
a more matte appearance. Choosing the automatic setting
allows the driver to make the most appropriate choice
depending on image content.
5.A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

ETTING FROM WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL
When you open the driver properties window directly from

1.You can specify which times of day your printer will be
available.
2.Indicates current priority , from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest).
Highest priority documents will print first.
3.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.
4.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.
5.This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing
starts as soon as possible after the document begins
spooling.
6.This specifies that the document should not be spooled,
but 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.
Printer settings in Windows> 24
Page 25
7.Directs the spooler to check the document setup and
match it 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.
8.Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which
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.
9.Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents
after 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.
10.Specifies whether advanced features, such as booklet
printing, page order and pages per 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 adv anced options may
then not be available, even though the hardware might
support them.
11.This button provides access to the same setup windows as
when printing from applications. Changes made via the
Windows Control Panel become the Windows default
settings.

images, but these images can take longer to print.
Photo Enhance
Use Photo Enhance to significantly improve quality when
printing images. The printer driver analyses any
photographic images and processes them to improve the
overall appearance. This setting cannot be used together
with the "High Quality (Multilevel)" print quality setting.
Toner Saving
Toner saving uses less toner when printing your document.
This is best suited to draft text documents as it lightens the
print significantly.

recommended for text and business graphics.
Brightness / Saturation
This option allows you to increase brightness for a lighter
print. Modify saturation to change the strength (or purity)
of a colour.
If the printed colours are too strong, reduce saturation and
increase brightness. As a general rule, reduce saturation
by the same amount as you increase brightness. For
example, if you reduce saturation by 10, increase
brightness by 10 to compensate.

RINTER SETUP OPTIONS
Printer options
Media weight
Select the thickness or type of paper in the printer. It is
important to set this correctly as it affects the temperature
at which the toner is fused to the paper. For example, if
you are printing on normal A4 paper, do not select Labels
or Transparency as this may cause toner smearing and
paper jams.
Auto tray switch
If the printer runs out of paper in the current tray, Auto
Tray Switch automatically changes to a tray that has the
same type of paper and continues printing.
Paper size check
Select Paper Size check if you want the printer to warn you
when the document paper size is different from the paper
in the printer.
A warning message is displayed and printing continues
when you load the correct paper in the paper tray and
press ONLINE. When this option is deselected, the printer
uses the paper loaded in the selected tray regardless of the
document size.

Feed manually from Multipurpose Tray
Select this option if you want the printer to wait until you
press the ONLINE button when feeding from the
Multipurpose Tray. This can be useful if printing on
envelopes.
Always create 100% black (K) toner
Select this option if you want the printer to always use only
black (K) toner when printing pure black (RGB = 0,0,0).
This is effective even when Composite Black (CMYK) is
selected in the colour options.
Run maintenance cycle before printing
Depending on printing habits and usage patterns, running
the maintenance cycle before printing may ensure the best
possible print quality. This feature uses the printer's image
drums and transfer belt. The life of these printer
consumables may be shortened if the printer runs a
maintenance cycle frequently.

OLOUR PRINTING
The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several
controls for changing the colour output. For general use the
automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default
settings that will produce good results for most documents.
Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the
documentation for your software application for details on how
that particular program’s colour management functions.
F
ACTORS THAT AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRINTS
If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer
driver, please be aware that colour reproduction is a complex
topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration.
Some of the most important factors are listed below.
Differences between the range of colours
a monitor or printer can reproduce
> Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing
the full range of colours visible to the human eye. Each
device is restricted to a certain range of colours. In
addition to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the
colours displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.
> Both devices use very different technologies to represent
colour. A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB)
phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.
> A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense
reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain
colours, (some yellows for example), that can be printed,
but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This
disparity between monitors and printers is often the main
reason that printed colours do not match the colours
displayed on screen.
Colour printing> 43
Page 44
Viewing conditions
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions.
For example, the colours in a print may look different when
viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they
look under standard office fluorescent lighting.
Printer driver colour settings
The driver settings for manual colour can change the appearance
of a print. There are several options available to help match the
printed colours with those displayed on screen.
Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s
colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours
look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
> 5000kWarmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in
graphic art environments.
> 6500kCooler; approximates daylight conditions.
> 9300kCool; the default setting for many monitors
and television sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature.)
How your software application displays colour
Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe
Photoshop may display colour differently from “Office”
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s
on-line help or user manual for more information.
Paper type
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed
colour. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller
than one on specially formulated glossy paper.

IPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR
The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour
output from your printer.
P
RINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES
Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.
If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or
Digital Camera settings.
P
RINTING FROM OFFICE APPLICATIONS
Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having
problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft
Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint.
A
DJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT
If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control
to adjust it.
If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the
Saturation control.

AUTO SPEED
If the first page of a print job is black
and white, the printer runs at 32ppm

down to 20ppm (P20W) or 26ppm
(P26W) for the rest of that job.
NORMAL
SPEED
This setting operates in the same
way as AUTO SPEED, except that the
printer runs at 32ppm until a colour
page is detected. To achieve this
speed the printer requires an
additional 10 – 20 seconds to warm
up and 30 –60 seconds to cool down
when switching to 20ppm (P20W) or
26ppm (P26W) for colour pages.
This setting is therefore most
appropriate when the majority of
print jobs are entirely black and
white.
The printer runs at 20 ppm (P20W),

ONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
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.
Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about
10 minutes before opening the cover.
1.Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover
fully.
WARNING!
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser may be
hot. This area is clearly labelled. Do not touch.

DJUSTING WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVERS
Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to
update the Windows printer driver so that the additional features
are available to your Windows applications.
Remember that if your printer is shared between users on
different computers, the driver must be adjusted on each user’s
machine.
The illustrations shown here are for Windows XP. Other Windows
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the
same.
If you have installed a memory upgrade it is not necessary to
change the printer driver, and you can ignore this section.
1.Open the Printers window
(called “Printers and Faxes” in
Windows XP) via the Start Menu
or from the Windows Control
Panel.
2.Right-click the printer icon for
this printer, and choose
Properties from the pop-up
menu.
3.On the Device Options tab,
check the box for the upgrade
you have just installed.
4.Click OK to close the properties window, and then close
the Printers window.

LEARING PAPER JAMS
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, 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.
