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 subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer.The laser chassis
is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement or the optical subsystem is required.

3. Paper and Other Media
Paper and Other Media Supported by This Printer
Paper Types and Sizes
This section describes the type, size, feed direction, and maximum amount of paper that can be loaded into each paper tray in this printer.
Important
❒ If you use damp or curled paper, misfeeds might occur. In such a case, try
turning over the paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement,
change to 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 select the paper size using the operation panel.
❒ For tray 1, 2, 3 and 4, the dial setting overrides settings selected with the op-
eration panel.
Note
❒ The following conventions are used to describe paper feed direction:
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 fre-
quently use in the tray selected with “Tray Priority”. For more information
about Tray Priority, see P.99 “Job Control Menu”.
❒ When loading paper having the same size in more than one tray, it is recom-
mended that you load paper in the same direction.
❒ For more information about the meanings of symbols, see the notes at the bot-
tom of each table.
Reference
For more information about loading each type of paper, see P.31 “Loading Pa-
per and Other Media”.
