Cautions When Using a Wireless LAN

A wireless LAN uses radio waves instead of cables to send and receive data. Because radio waves usually pass through walls and other obstructions, the following problems may arise if you do not configure wireless security settings.

Information leakage

Information such as IDs, passwords, credit card numbers, and e-mail content may be seen by an unauthorized 3rd party.

Unauthorized network access

• Damage to or alteration of data and/or system configurations by viruses or other malware.

• Impersonation of legitimate network users, resulting in data theft.

• Theft of sensitive or confidential data.

To minimize the possibility of these threats, it is recommended that you check the available features of this printer, wireless access points, and other equipment that uses the wireless LAN, and configure security settings for the wireless LAN.

• Make sure paper is not stacked above the limit mark inside the tray. Misfeeds might occur.

• Do not put different types of paper in a single paper tray.

• Up to 500 sheets of paper can be loaded in the paper feed unit. This means a maximum of 1,500 sheets can be simultaneously loaded when two additional paper feed units are installed.

• Confirm that paper fits under the rear guide.

• Do not slide the paper tray in with force. If you do, the front and side guides might move.

1. Lift the paper tray slightly, and then pull it out until it stops.

2. Lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer.

3. Pinch the green clips on the side guide and the end guide, and then adjust the guides to the

paper size being loaded.

4. Slide the two green switches into one of the two positions according to the thickness of the

paper you are loading. If the paper is 157 g/m2 (42 lb.) or thicker, slide both switches into the rear (thick) position. If the paper is lighter than 157 g/m2 (42 lb.), slide both switches into the forward (thin) position.

Make sure that the positions of both switches are the same.

5. Fan the paper before loading paper in the paper tray.

6. Load paper into the tray with the print side down.

7. Adjust the paper guides to close any gaps.

Do not move paper loaded in the tray more than a few millimeters.

Excessive movement of loaded paper can cause edges of sheets to snag on the openings of the tray's lifting plate, resulting in sheets being folded or becoming jammed.
