Operator Safety:
This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/ EDPuse. The machine con­tains 5-milliwat, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical unit in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subs ystem is rep laceable in the field by a quali fied Cust omer Enginee r.The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the fac tory or se rvice d epot when replace ment or the op tical subsyste m is re­quired.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

PCL Printer Drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer using a printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are included in the CD-ROM. We recommend PCL 6 as your first choice. Howev­er, some of your applications might require installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you might configure to install and print by using PCL 5e in addition to PCL 6.
Reference

Paper Types and Sizes
This section describes the type, size, feed direction, and maximum capacity of paper that can be loaded into each paper tray in this printer.
Important
If you use damp or curled paper, a misfeed might occur. In such a case, try turning over the paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement, change paper with less curl.
Be sure to set the paper size dial to match the actual paper size loaded in the tray. When the actual paper size is not shown on the dial, set the dial to “p” and specify the paper size using the operation panel.
For Tray 1, 2, 3 and 4, the dial setting overrides the setting made with the op­eration panel.
Note
The meaning of the display of the operation panel and paper feed direction is described below.
Example on the panel display Paper feed direction
A4 (210 × 297) short-edge feed direction A4 (297 × 210) long-edge feed direction
It is recommended that you load paper having the size and direction you fre­quently use in the tray selected with the “Tray Priority”. For more informa­tion on Tray Priority, see P.94 “Job Control Menu”.
When loading paper having the same size in more than one tray, it is recom­mended that you load paper in the same direction.
The supported paper size may differ depending on the memory size of your printer. P.109 “Memory Capacity and Printer Function”
For more information about the meanings of the abbreviations, see the notes at the bottom of each table.
Reference
For more information on loading each type of paper, see P.41 “Loading Paper and Other Media”.

Paper Recommendations
Note the following suggestions when handling or selecting paper used with this printer.
Loading Paper
• Use only the recommended paper types. Print quality cannot be guaranteed if other paper types are used.
• Do not use paper that is already printed on.
• If you load paper into the paper tray, confirm not to stack over the limit mark.
• If you load paper onto Bypass Tray Type 270, confirm that the paper fits un­der the side guide.
• If you load paper into the paper tray, confirm that print side is facing up.
• If you load paper onto Bypass Tray Type 270, confirm that print side is facing down.
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 open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.
Types of Paper and Other Media
Plain Paper
• If you print on paper heavier than 105g/m2 (28lb), use tray 2 or Bypass
Tray Type 270. The each tray can hold paper up to 157g/m weight.
2
• If you load paper heavier than 105g/m
to the "Thick paper" mode. P.44 “Loading Thick Paper, Envelope or OHP
Transparencies”
• If paper is curled or bent, straighten it before loading.
• If you print on paper for color, load it onto tray 2 and do not stack paper
over the lower limit mark.
(28lb) onto tray 2, set the printer

Page 55
Paper and Other Media Supported by Your Printer
OHP Transparencies
• If you load OHP transparencies onto Bypass Tray Type 270, set the printer
to "Transparency" mode using the printer driver.
• Be careful not to touch the print side of the OHP transparencies. Other-
wise, the print side can become dirty or damaged, resulting in poor print quality.
• If you print on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it face up
onto tray 2 or load it face down onto Bypass Tray Type 270.
• Do not print on OHP transparencies for color.
Adhesive Labels
• Load only one adhesive label at a time onto Bypass Tray Type 270.
• Use adhesive labels in which the whole side can be printed on.
• Avoid using adhesive labels having exposed glue.
• If the print side is coated, the print quality might be reduced, as the toner
might not fuse well.
Envelopes
• When printing on envelopes, use tray 2 or Bypass Tray Type 270.
• You can specify the sizes for the envelopes using the operation panel.
P.94 “Job Control Parameters”
• Recommended of envelopes is as follows:
• Com#10 Env
•C6 Env
•C5 Env
• DL Env
• Monarch Env
• Do not stack envelopes over the limit mark.
• Confirm that print side is facing up when loading onto the tray 2.
• Confirm that print side is facing down when loading onto Bypass Tray
Type 270.
• Load the envelopes with the flaps aligned to the right side fence. The flaps
should be securely folded down.
• Confirm that there is no air in the envelopes before loading.
4
• To get better print quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left,
top, and bottom print margins, to at least 15mm (0.6") each.
• Do not print on both sides of envelopes.
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• Before loading envelopes, flatten the leading edges (side being fed into the
printer) of them by running a pencil or ruler across them.
37
Page 56
Paper and Other Media
• There are some kinds of envelopes that might be occurred misfeed, wrin-
kle or poor printing.
• Before loading envelopes, confirm that they are rectangular in shape. See
the following illustrations.
