2. Before loading the paper, flex the sheets back and forth to loosen
them, then fan them. Tap the edges on a table top to straighten

them. Doing this before you load paper helps prevent paper jams.

DonÕt load too much. This feeder holds up to 150 sheets.

3. Insert the paper in the paper feeder.

If the paper has a preferred print side, place the print side facing
you. If you use letterhead paper, load the paper with the letter-head
edge down and facing you.

Loading Paper

For best results, use high quality 75g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper.

Note: For more information on loading paper and other print material, refer
to ÔLoading Print MaterialÕ on page 19.

1. Pull the extender on the automatic paper feeder up, until it stops.

Setting Up Your Printer

2. Attach the other end of the parallel cable to your computer.

Note: Make sure the printer power is off when you connect it to the
computer.

Connecting to Your Computer

Your printer has parallel interface port, which allows you to use it
with IBM PCs and compatible computers. You have to purchase a
Centronics compatible parallel interface cable that supports bi­directional communications (IEEE standard 1284). Ask your dealer for
assistance if you need help selecting the right cable.

Your printer also has Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. The Universal
Serial Bus is an interface which allows the printer to be connected to
multiple peripheral devices. If your PC has USB port, you can connect
your printer to your PC by using USB interface.

Using Parallel Port

1. Plug the parallel interface cable into the connector on the back of
the printer. Push the clips at each end of the connector into the

notches on the printer cable. The clips snap when pushed into the
notches.

work properly with Window applications run inside a Windows

3.1/95/98 or NT Windows.

¥ USB driver, which allows your printer to connect USB peripheral.

3. When only the READY light is steadily on, press and hold the
button for about 3 seconds. All the indicators blink. Then let it go

Selecting Paper Types and Feed Source

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best
possible print quality from your printer is to select the correct paper.
Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond
papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not
require special papers. However, the print quality varies with
different paper types. Be sure to test a small quantity of paper before
you purchase a large quantity.

You can print on any of the following paper types:

02-Printing 5/13/99 10:34 AM Page 2

Paper Handling

2. Prepare the print material for loading.

¥ For paper and envelopes:

- Flex paper or fan envelopes back and forth. Do not fold or
crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

Note: If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of envelopes
in the automatic feeder.

Loading Print Material

You can stack paper, envelopes, card stocks, labels, or transparencies
in the automatic paper feeder to feed automatically. The automatic
feeder can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of plain paper, and 10
envelopes or other print media. The maximum capacity may reduce,
depending on the thickness.

Note: If you experience feeding problems, try printing one at a time from the
manual feeder. See page 23.

1. Pull the extender on the automatic feeder up until it stops.

3. Load the print material in the automatic feeder. Do not load too
much print material. Do not mix types. See the following directions
to load each type of print material.

¥ Load paper or transparencies with the print side facing you.

¥ For transparencies:

- Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the
print side.

- Fan the stack of transparencies to prevent feeding failures. Be
careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print sides.

Place the print side facing you.

Paper Handling

¥ Load envelopes with the flap side facing away from you. The stamp

area is on the right side. The end of the envelope with the stamp
area enters the feeder first.

¥ Load letterhead paper with the design facing you. The top edge of

the sheet with the logo should enter the printer first.

Notes:

¥ Do not feed stamped envelopes. The stamp is shown for placement only.
¥ Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-

stick adhesives.

¥ These envelopes may severely damage the printer.

Feeding Manually

Use the manual feeder to feed one sheet at a time into your printer.
The manual feeder is in front of the automatic feeder.

1. If necessary, open the face-up stacker. See page 24.

2. Load the print material in the manual feeder and adjust the paper
guides to the width of the print material.

See the instructions to load each type of material on page 18.

3. Push it all the way in.

4. Before starting your print job, make sure you select the correct
paper size and feed source in your application.

5. Press the button on the operator panel. Printing starts.

6. If you have more than one page to print, the PAPER indicator
blinks to alert you to feed the next sheet each time the printer is
ready to print the next page. Press and hold the button for about 2
seconds until the printer pulls in the paper, and starts printing.

Note: If you press the button without paper in the manual feeder, the
printer will automatically use paper into the automatic paper feeder.

printed pages. When you finish using the face-up stacker, you must close
the face-up stacker.

Paper Guidelines

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

¥ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can

cause paper jams and poor print quality.

¥ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.

¥ Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with

embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or
too rough.

¥ Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white

photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printerÕs fusing
temperature of 392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration.
Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the
paper was produced.

¥ Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-

resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subject to the printerÕs approximately 392 oF (200

o

C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

¥ Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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.

¥ During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)

should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.

¥ Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed

under ÔSpecificationsÕ on page 60.

¥ When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes

with sharp, and well creased folds.

- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.

- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

¥ Is your printer connected properly to your computer?
¥ Are all other devices attached to your printer plugged in and turned on?
¥ Is the wall outlet live?
¥ Has a power outage occurred in your area?
¥ Is a Toner Cartridge installed in the printer?
¥ Is the cover closed completely?

Once youÕve checked all these things, turn your printer off and back on again. If your
printer is still not operating properly, call your point of purchase for service.

If the READY light is on, print out a test page by pressing the operator panel button until
each of the indicators start to blink in turn, and release the button. The Test Page lists your

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you
should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams occur frequently, make
sure you are following these tips to avoid jams.

¥ Follow the procedures in ÒLoading a Stack of PaperÓ on page 6 to load

paper properly.

¥ Do not overload the paper feeder. The automatic feeder can hold up to

150 sheets and the manual feeder can hold only one sheet at a time.

¥ Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading it.

¥ Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into the

automatic feeder. If jams do occur using the automatic feeder, try
feeding one sheet at a time in the manual feeder.

¥ Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

¥ Do not mix paper types in the automatic feeder.

¥ Use only recommended print materials.

¥ Make sure the recommended print side is face up when loading the

feeders.

¥ Keep print materials stored in an acceptable environment.
