User's Notes
z
High temperatures inside the printer can cause a breakdown. Do not lean anything against the
vent or block it in any way.
z
Warm air from the vent is normal and not a cause for concern.
z
Do not leave the top cover open. Doing so could cause an injury.
z
During printing, do not move the printer or open its covers.
z
During printing, do not pull out a paper tray (tray 1 or tray 2). Printing will stop and the paper will
jam.
z
Do not touch the feed belt.
z
Take care not to let paper clips and other foreign objects fall inside the printer.
z
During printing, do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
z
During printing, do not subject the printer to external shock such as that caused by tapping paper
on it.
z
When not using the printer, turn off the power.
z
Do not place more than 5 kg (11.1 lb.) on the printer. (The outer surface of the printer can tolerate
up to 20 kg (44.1 lb.).)
z
The operational life of this printer is estimated to be 5 years based on less than 2500 (A4) prints
per month and 8 hours of normal daily usage. Exceeding these totals may reduce the operational
lifespan of the printer. The operational lifespan is also affected by the environment in which the
printer is operated.
z
"Secondary Counter" displays the number of pages printed. Sheets of A4 or smaller are counted
as one page. Sheets larger than A4 are counted as multiple pages, according to their size ratio
relative to A4.
Use "Secondary Counter" to estimate the number of pages that can be printed within the printer's
remaining operational life.
The printer's operational life is calculated based on the number of pages that it can print on plain
A4 paper in [Standard (speed priority)] mode.
z
This printer is designed to have an operational life of 5 years / 150,000 pages.
z
Depending on your settings, the internal unit may fill up sooner than normal.
An "Internal unit nearly full" message appears shortly before the internal unit is full. Contact your
service representative as soon as possible for a replacement internal unit (charge incurred).
z
The printing yields of print cartridges are as follows: (The yields of the print cartridges packaged
with the printer are lower than the yields described below.)
z
Black: approximately 3200 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
z
Cyan: approximately 2500 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
z
Magenta: approximately 2500 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
z
Yellow: approximately 2500 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
Printing yields vary depending on page content, paper type, paper size, and environmental conditions. Also, cartridges may need to be changed before the yields above have been reached
due to deterioration over time. To maintain print quality, cartridges should be opened before their
expiration date and used within six months of being opened.

z
Color ink may be used even if you print all-black text or if you specify black and white printing. It
may also be used for print head cleaning and refreshing, which are done to maintain printer performance.
z
Print cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure
safety and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies.
z
If you print a large number of pages in a day, for instance, hundreds of pages, the nozzles of the
print-heads may be clogged the next day. If this happens, clean the print-heads.
z
This printer performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure consistent print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of disuse.
