8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your machine where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, or PC interface cords.

11. Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

12. You machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for the best scanning. In this case, replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by holding and moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.

13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

Page 10

14. Unplug the machine from the, PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.

• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

15. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.

16. Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power cord for the duration of the lightning storm.

17. If you print large amount of copies, the surface of the output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children away from the surface.

18. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)

MPORTANT

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 company from where the machine was purchased.

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.

ARNING

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.

MPORTANT WARNING

: You must earth this machine.

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.

Installing the Toner Cartridge

Open the front cover.

Remove the starter toner cartridge from its bag. Don’t use a knife or other sharp object as it might scratch the drum of the cartridge.

Gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Thoroughly rolling the cartridge will assure the maximum copies per cartridge.

AUTIONS

• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper if left exposed for more than a few minutes, and keep it flat and clean place.

• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into the fabric.

PAPER HANDLING

This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print materials and loading them into your machine.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting Print Materials

• Selecting an Output Location

• Loading Paper in the Paper Tray

• Using the Manual Feeder

Page 47

Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.5. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be

appropriate for your project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the

paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

- 16 ~ 24 lbs (60 ~ 90 g/m

- 16 ~ 43 lbs (60 ~ 163 g/m

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce

sharper, more vibrant images.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

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

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page A.5.

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

• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print quality.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are 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.

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15

C (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be

between 10 % and 70 %.

• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.

C and

• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints out.

•For envelopes:

- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well

creased folds.

- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-

adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• For transparencies:

- 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.

APER HANDLING

2.3

Page 49

- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and coated paper carefully.

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

•For labels:

- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 208

C (406.4o F) for 0.1 second.

- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between them. 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 load a sheet of them through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.

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

• Do not use

Carbonless

paper and

Tracing

paper. Use of these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could damage your printer.

Selecting an Output Location

The machine has two output locations; the rear output slot (face up) and the front output tray (face down).

To use the front output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed. To use the rear output slot, open the rear cover.

OTES

• If paper coming out of the front output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output slot.

• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the machine is printing.

APER HANDLING

Page 50

Printing to the Front Output Tray

The front output tray collects printed paper face-down in the order in which it was printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.

If you use paper which is not long enough to reach the front output tray, use the jam cover.

To u s e t he j a m cov e r :

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you need only tell the machine to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If needed, save the file for later use.

To change the print settings from your software application, access the printer’s Properties. See page 3.2.
