2. Installation and Preparation

2.5 Date and time (Fax or LAN supported models only) y

We recommend setting the date and time (feature #101). The other party will receive your unit’s date and time as the header information.

If you have subscribed to a Caller ID service (y)

The date and time will automatically set according to the received caller information (feature #226).

2.6 Configuring the unit to access the LAN y

You can use a computer connected to the LAN for some features of this unit (printer, scanner, etc.). To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the unit.

Important:

RConsult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

2.6.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server

If your network administrator manages the network with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.

1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the computer, turn the power switch ON.

R The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be set automatically.

2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.

Note:

RYou can connect two or more units and assign IP addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we recommend assigning static IP addresses manually for each unit to avoid network access and configuration troubles.

2.6.2 Setting up manually

When your network administrator does not manage the network with a DHCP server, you need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually.

3.2 Loading recording paper

Note for recording paper:

RWe recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before purchasing large quantities.

RDo not use the following types of paper:

Paper with cotton and/or fibre content that is over 20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for resumes

Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured

Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper

Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs or staples

Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains

Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolour, scorch or emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C, such as vellum paper. These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.

Moist paper

Inkjet paper

Chemically treated paper such as carbon or carbonless duplicating paper

Electrostatically charged paper

Badly curled, creased or torn paper

Paper with a coated surface

RSome paper is designed to be printed on only one side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you are not happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding occurs.

RFor proper paper feeding and best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.

RDo not use paper of different types or thicknesses at the same time. This may cause paper jams.

RDo not re-use paper printed from this unit for another printing job (including other copiers or printers). This may cause paper jams.

RTo avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.

RFor customers who live in high humidity areas: Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned room at all times. If you print using moist paper, it may cause paper jam.
