Your
machine
has an odd
smell
during initial
use.
The oil used to
protect the fuser is
evaporating.
After printing about 100 color
pages, there will be no more
smell. It is a temporary issue.
Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,
you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear
the problem.
Condition Suggested solutions
Light or faded print
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears
on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to
temporarily extend the print cartridge life. If
this does not improve the print quality, install
a new print cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper
specifications; for example, the paper may
be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications
on print media" on page 4.2.)
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution
setting is too low or the toner save mode is
on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the
toner save mode off. See the help screen of
the printer driver and refer to Software
section, respectively.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the print cartridge needs
cleaning. Contact a service representative.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU,
contact a service representative.
Toner specks
Dropouts
• The paper may not meet specifications; for
example, the paper may be too moist or
rough. (See "Specifications on print
media" on page 4.2.)
• The paper transfer belt may be dirty. Clean
the inside of your machine. Contact a
service representative.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact
a service representative.
If faded areas, generally rounded, occur
randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective.
Try reprinting the job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven
or the paper has moist spots on its surface.
Try a different brand of paper. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
processes can cause some areas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• If these steps do not correct the problem,
contact a service representative.
7.13 <
Troubleshooting>
Condition Suggested solutions
Condition Suggested solutions
White Spots White spots appear on the page:
• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from
the paper falls to the inner devices within
the machine, which means the transfer belt
may be dirty. Clean the inside of your
machine. Contact a service representative.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact
a service representative.
Vertical lines
Color or Black
background
Toner smear
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The print cartridge has probably been
scratched. Remove the print cartridge and
install a new one.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of
the machine.
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• Check the environmental conditions: very
dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level
of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can
increase the amount of background
shading.
• Remove the old print cartridge, and then
install a new one. (See "Replacing the print
cartridge" on page 6.4.)
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of
the machine.
• Check the paper type and quality. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
• Remove the paper transfer belt, and then
install a new one. (See "Replacing the print
cartridge" on page 6.4.)
Vertical repetitive
defects
Background scatter
Misformed
characters
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side
of the page at even intervals:
• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a
service representative to clean the inside of
the machine. After cleaning the inside of the
machine, if you still have the same
problems, install a new print cartridge of the
problem color. See "Replacing the print
cartridge" on page 6.4.
• Parts of the machine may have toner on
them. If the defects occur on the back of the
page, the problem will likely correct itself
after a few more pages.
• The fusing assembly may be damaged.
Contact a service representative.
Background scatter results from bits of toner
randomly distributed on the printed page.
• The paper may be too damp. Try printing
with a different batch of paper. Do not open
packages of paper until necessary so that
the paper does not absorb too much
moisture.
• If background scatter occurs on an
envelope, change the printing layout to
avoid printing over areas that have
overlapping seams on the reverse side.
Printing on seams can cause problems.
• If background scatter covers the entire
surface area of a printed page, adjust the
print resolution through your software
application or in printer properties.
• If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollow images, the paper stock
may be too slick. Try different paper. (See
"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)

Common Linux problems
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
The machine does not
print.
Some color images
come out in
unexpected color.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in
your system. Open the Unified Driver
configuration tool and switch to the
Printers tab in the Printers configuration
window to look at the list of available
machines. Make sure that your machine
is displayed on the list. If not, use the
Add new printer wizard to set up your
device.
• Check if the machine has started. Open
Printers configuration and select your
machine on the machines list. Look at
the description in the Selected printer
pane. If its status contains a “(stopped)”
string, please, click Start. After that,
normal operation of the machine should
be restored. The “stopped” status might
have been activated when problems in
printing occurred.
• Check if your application has special
print options such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw”
is specified in the command line
parameter, then remove it to print
properly. For Gimp front-end, select
“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit the
command line parameter in the
command item.
• The CUPS (Common Unix Printing
System) version distributed with SuSE
Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem
with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol)
printing. Use the socket printing instead
of ipp or install a later version of CUPS
(cups-1.1.22 or higher).
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until
GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the
base color space of the document is
indexed RGB color space and it is
converted through CIE color space.
Because Postscript uses CIE color space
for Color Matching System, you should
upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at
least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or
later. You can find recent Ghostscript
versions at www.ghostscript.com.
The machine does not
print whole pages and
its output is half-page
printed.
I encounter error
“Cannot open port
device file” when
printing a document.
It is a known problem that occurs when a
color machine is used on version 8.51 or
earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and
reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as
Ghostscript Bug 688252. The problem is
solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or
above. Download the latest version of
AFPL Ghostscript from http://
sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and
install it to solve this problem.
Please avoid changing print job
parameters (via LPR GUI, for example)
while a print job is in progress. Known
versions of CUPS server cut off the print
jobs whenever print options are changed
and then try to restart the job from the
beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks
the port while printing, the abrupt
termination of the driver keeps the port
locked and therefore unavailable for
subsequent print jobs. If this situation
occurs, try to release the port.

Precautions to take when installing accessories
2 Open the control board cover. Release the screw, then lift up the
cover slightly and pull the cover to the right.
• Disconnect the power cord
Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on.
To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the
power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external
accessories.
• Discharge static electricity
The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or
memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or
removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your
body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any
device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before
finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static
electricity again.
Installing a memory module
Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this
memory module slot to install additional memory.
The machine has two memory slots with a factory pre-installed memory
module in one slot. When you are expanding the memory capacity, you
can add a memory module to the vacant memory slot. It is strongly
recommended that you expand a memory module in vacant memory slot
only without removing a pre-installed memory module. If your machine
has 128 MB memory capacity and you want to add 512 MB, the memory
capacity expands up to 640 MB.

11 Glossary
BOOTP
It stands for Bootstrap Protocol, a network protocol used by a network
client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the
bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them.
The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to
each client.
Control Panel
A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are
displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance
for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as
pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs,
usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000
pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages
a day, which is not small amount.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area
networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer,
and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data
link layer of the OSI model. It has become the most widespread LAN
technology in use presently.
Coverage
This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing
and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4
sized paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original
has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5%
and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
Default
The first set values.
DHCP
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server
networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters
specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information
required by the client host to participate on an IP network.
DIMM
Dual Inline Memory Module, a small circuit board that holds memory.
DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data, received
fax data, or scanned data.
DNS
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information
associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks.
DPI
This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or
scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution,
more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
Duplex
This is a mechanism which automatically flips over a sheet of paper so
that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer
equipped with a Duplex can print double-sided.
Fuser Unit
This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media.
It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the
fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the
paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a
laser printer.
Gateway
This is a connection between computer networks, or between a computer
network and a telephone line. And it is very popular, as it is a computer
or a network that allows access to another computer or network.
Grayscale
Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when
color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by
various shades of gray.
Halftone
This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of
dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter
areas consist of a smaller number of dots.
Intranet
This is a private network that uses Internet Protocols, network
connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to
securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its
employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service,
the internal website.
IP address
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a unique number that
devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a
network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP).
IPM
The Images Per Minute.
11.1 <
Glossary>
ISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an
international standard-setting body composed of representatives from
national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and
commercial standards.
LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the
status of a machine.
Print Media
Media such as papers, envelopes, labels, and transparencies which can
be used on a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.
OPC Drum
A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam
emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and
cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its
usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it
becomes scratched from grit in paper.
Subnet Mask
A bitmask used to tell how many bits in an octet(s) identify the
subnetwork, and how many bits provide room for host addresses.
TCP/IP
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP).
It is the set of communications protocols that implement the protocol
stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks run.
print cartridge
It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner.
Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the
text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of
the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.
URL
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and
resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what
protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain
name where the resource is located.
PDF
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed
by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a
device-independent and resolution-independent format.
PostScript
PostScript (PS) is a page description language and programming
language used primarily in the electronic and desktop publishing areas,
and that is run in an interpreter to generate an image.
PPM
Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a
printer can actually print per minute.
PRN file
An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the
device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies
many tasks.
Protocol
This is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection,
communication, and data transfer between two computing endpoints.
PS
See PostScript.
USB
Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB
Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike
the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single
computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
Resolution
The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher
the dpi, the greater the resolution.
