Safety During Operation

In this manual, the following important symbols are used:

WARNING:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
instructions are not followed, could result in death or
serious injury.

CAUTION:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
instructions are not followed, may result in minor or
moderate injury or damage to property.

• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the
cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or
otherwise damaged.

• To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation
exposure, do not remove any covers or screws other than
those specified in this manual.

• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by
pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the following
occurs:

•You spill something into the machine.

•You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.

•The external housing of your machine has been damaged.

• Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust
might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

• Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer.

• Dispose of used toner containers in accordance with local
regulations.

• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and
aerosols. A fire or an electric shock might occur.

• Connect the machine only to the power source described on
the inside front cover of this manual. Connect the power
cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension
cord.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the
power cord.

• Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend
it more than necessary. These actions could cause an
electric shock or fire.

• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core,
disconnection, etc.), contact your service representative to
change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged
power cord may cause an electric shock or fire.

i

CAUTION:

CAUTION

:

• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and
snow.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the
machine. While moving the machine, you should take care that the
power cord will not be damaged under the machine.

• Before moving the machine, be sure to disconnect all external
connections, especially the power cord from the wall outlet. Damaged
power cords are a fire and electric shock hazard.

• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
the plug (not the cable).

• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord
itself. Doing so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or
electric shock.

• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the
machine will not be used for an extended period of time such as
holidays.

• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall
inside the machine.

• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner bottle out of the reach of
children.

• Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside
the product to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.

• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended
supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take
place at an authorized dealer.

• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts
with a label indicating the “hot surface”. Otherwise, an injury might
occur.

• The fusing section of this machine might be very hot. Caution should be
taken when removing misfed paper.

• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an
electric shock might occur.

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples
over, an injury might occur.

• Do not use aluminum foil, carbon paper, or similar conductive paper to
avoid a fire or machine failure.

• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated
and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the
machine is used heavily.

• Do not open toner containers forcefully. Toner can spill, dirtying your
clothes or hands, and possibly resulting in accidental ingestion.

• 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.

• Do not look into the lamp - it can damage your eyes.

• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.

• During operation, rollers for transporting the paper and originals
revolve. A safety device is being installed so that the machine can be
operated safely. But take care not to touch the rollers during operation.
An injury might occur.

• Fire and breakdown can result from heavy accumulation of dust inside
this machine. Consult your service representative for details about and
charges for cleaning the machine’s interior.

• If you have to move the machine when the optional paper tray unit is
attached, do not push on the main unit's top section. Doing so can
cause the optional paper tray unit to detach, possibly resulting in injury.

• Before moving the machine, be sure to pull all four handles fully out. If
not, an injury might occur. After moving the machine, return the four
handles to their original positions.

• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place.
Otherwise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.

This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with
your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays
for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting print media

• Loading paper

• Selecting an output location

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following
problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the printer

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.

• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper
adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:

- 16 to 28 lb bond (60 to 105 g/m

tray 3, tray 4

- 16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163 g/m

- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

Guidelines for special print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep
these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
the next column.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following media types:

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Multi-paged paper

- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical
smells, and damage to your printer.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can
cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15

o

C and 30o C
(59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and
70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.

• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi­purpose tray to avoid paper jams.

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Media type Guidelines

Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends

upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following
factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper
should not exceed 90 g/m

2

(24 lb) or jamming

may occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes
should lie flat with less than 6 mm
(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.

- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,
nicked, or otherwise damaged.

- Temperature: You should use envelopes that
are compatible with the heat and pressure of
the printer during operation.

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp
and well creased folds.

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps,
windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or
other synthetic materials.

• Do not use damaged or poorly made
envelopes.

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope
extends all the way to the corner of the
envelope.

Acceptable

5.3 <

Unacceptable

• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with
more than one flap that folds over to seal must
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s
fusing temperature of 195° C (383° F) for

0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might
cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may
even damage the fuser.

• For the best print quality, position margins no
closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges
of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the
envelope’s seams meet.

Loading print media>

Media type Guidelines

Media type Guidelines

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser
printers.

• Transparencies used in the printer must be able
to withstand 195° C (383° F), the printer’s
fusing temperature.

• Place them on a flat surface after removing
them from the printer.

• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long
periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate
on them, resulting in spotty printing.

• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,
handle them carefully.

• To avoid fading, do not expose printed
transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,
curled, or have any torn edges.

Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels

designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 195° C (383° F), the printer’s fusing
temperature.

- Arrangement: Only use labels with no

exposed backing between them. Labels can
peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.

- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with

no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any
direction.

- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,

bubbles, or other indications of separation.

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive
material between labels. Exposed areas can
cause labels to peel off during printing, which
can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can
also cause damage to printer components.

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer
more than once. The adhesive backing is
designed for only a single pass through the
printer.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.

Preprinted
paper

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the
printer’s fusing temperature of 195° C (383° F)
for 0.1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as
forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink
can come off preprinted paper, reducing print
quality.

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray
