Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
• Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfeed.
• When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with the print side up on the
LCT. Not taking this precaution may cause them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Set the paper as the followings.
• Tray 1: Print side facing down
• Tray 2, Tray 3: Print side facing down
• LCT: Print side facing up
Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended is used. For details about
recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.
Storing Paper
Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper
misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.

Replacing the Toner bottle
• Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open
flame. Dispose of used toner containers in accordance with local regulations.
• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a
doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if
necessary.
• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your
skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and
may make removing the stain impossible.
• Our products are engineered to meet high standards of quality and functionality, and we recommend
that you use only the expendable supplies available at an authorized dealer.
• Do not open toner cartridges forcefully. Toner can spill, dirtying your clothes or hands, and possibly
resulting in accidental ingestion.
• Use recommended toner bottles. Using different types of toner bottles can result in malfunction.
• Replacement should be done while the power switch is set to On. If it is set to standby, the settings
are cancelled and printing cannot resume. Also, toner refill may not be recognized, and the "Add
Toner" display may appear again.
• Be sure to refill the toner only when instruction to do so appears on the display.
• Do not remove the inner cap.
• Avoid inserting and removing the toner bottle repeatedly. Toner spills may occur.
• Approximately 1,000 sheets can be printed after the message "Toner is almost empty" appears.
However, prints may become increasingly faded, so replace the toner bottle as soon as possible.
• When the toner bottle is empty, "Add Toner" appears and printing is no longer possible.

Cautions to Take When Cleaning
• Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual. Some parts of the
machine are at a high voltage and could give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser
systems, direct (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage.
When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact your service representative.
• Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock,
explosion or loss of sight. If the machine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.
Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a soft, moist cloth that is wrung
out well. If you still cannot remove, use a neutral detergent, and then wipe over with a well-wrung wet
cloth, dry wipe, and let it dry.
• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking of surfaces and components, do not use volatile
chemicals, such as benzine and thinner, or spray insecticide near the printer.
• If there is dust or grime inside the printer, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
• You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean away any dust and
grime from and around the plug and outlet before reconnecting. Accumulated dust and grime pose
a fire hazard.
