Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse cover.
Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug it into a socket.
Important warning:
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
• Green and Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.
You must earth this machine.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 5.5.
• 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 machine.
• 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 15o C and 30o C (59 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 manual feeder to avoid paper jams.
To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Guidelines for special print media

Media type Guidelines
• 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 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 machine 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
Envelopes
o
extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.
Acceptable
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 for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 13.1. 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.
2
(24 lb) or jamming
5.3 <
Selecting and loading print media>
Media type Guidelines
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 13.1.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
Transparencies
• 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.
Caution
Recommended media: Transparency for a Color Laser Printers produced by HP, Xerox and 3M. It is not recommended to use paperbacked transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam or be scratched.
Media type Guidelines
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at your machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 13.1.
- 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
Labels
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 machine components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock or custom-sized materials
Preprinted paper
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm (5.00 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.
• 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 for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 13.1.
• 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.

9 Slide the tray back into the machine.
Changing the size of the paper in the tray
To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray.
To change the tray size to other size, you must adjust the paper length guide properly.
1 Pull the tray out of the machine. Open the paper cover and remove
paper from the tray if necessary.
2 Pressing and unlatching the guide lock in the top of the tray, pull the
tray out manually.
3 Load paper into the tray.
You can load letterhead with the design side face up. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be go into the machine first.
After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the tray. See page 5.8 for copying and faxing or the Software Section for PC- printing.
Note
• If there is not enough paper in the tray, load more paper.
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the manual feeder.
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge into the machine. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
4 Slide the paper length guide until it lightly touches the end of the
paper stack. Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the paper stack without causing it to bend.

For paper smaller than Letter-sized, return the paper guides to their original positions and adjust the paper length guide and paper width guide.
Note
• Do not push the paper width guides far enough to cause the material to warp.
• If you do not correctly adjust the paper width guides, it may cause a paper jams.
5 Close the paper cover.

In the manual feeder

The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, labels, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the manual feeder
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the manual feeder. When you print out many pieces of paper at once, tray use is recommended.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the manual feeder. This also applies to other types of print media.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.1 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.
To load paper in the manual feeder:
Caution
When you do the printing job from the manual feeder, clear the paper in the tray away.
1 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
6 Slide the tray back into the machine.
Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:
Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the machine first.
Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine first.
Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the machine.
Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the machine first.
Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an uncurled edge toward the machine.
