Loading in manual feeder
The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes.
Tips on using the manual feeder
•Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.
•If you select Manual Feeder for the paper source in your software application, you need to press Print screen or Demo page, or WPS
button each time you print a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time on the manual tray.
•To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.
•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.
•To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 68).
•Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.
•When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 32).
•When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray 1 and remove the overlapping papers then try printing again.
•When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.
•When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by
pressing the power button before using the manual feeder.

2 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 machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C
(338 °F)). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling,
creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
2
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed
for use in laser printers.
•Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.
•Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
•Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long.
Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty
printing.
•For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm
from the edges of the envelope.
•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
•To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them
carefully.
•To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
Media and tray
2. Menu overview and basic setup
35
•Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any
torn edges.
•Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let
the printed sheets stack up as they are being printed out.
•Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by
Xerox, such as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780 (Letter)
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in
laser printers.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing
temperature. Check your machine’s specifications to view the
fusing temperature (about 170°C (338°F)).
-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: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any
direction.
-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
Media and tray
2. Menu overview and basic setup
36
•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/ Custom-sized paper
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up
with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with
paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not
guaranteed.
•In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25
inches) away from the edges of the material.
•Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt,
vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the
machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C
(338°F)).
•Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect machine rollers.
•Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper
is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
paper, reducing print quality.

Using the output support
The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a
large number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not
allow children near it.
Open the output support before printing. The printed pages stack on
the output support, and the output support will help the printed
pages to align. The printer sends printouts to the output tray by
default.

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.
•The Toner LED blinks yellow.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks
or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
•Before opening the front cover, close the output support first.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep it in
the best printing condition and use your machine longer.
•Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances
can discolor or distort the cabinet.
•If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water
to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.
1
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or
into the machine.
2
Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems.
•Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the machine.
•If your machine has a power switch, turn the power switch off before cleaning the machine.
•Before opening the front cover, close the output support first.
Cleaning the machine
Use a dry lint free cloth when cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage the transfer roller or any other inside parts.

•Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 26).
•Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
•Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
•Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
•Do not mix paper types in a tray.
•Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 68).

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.
Contact the people from you purchased the machine.
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:
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.
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.
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.

devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are
only qualified for use in the European Union or
associated areas if a CE mark with a Notified
Body Registration Number and the Alert
Symbol is on the system label.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be
embedded in you printer is well below the RF exposure limits as set
by the European Commission through the R&TTE directive.
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may
be present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section
is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless
device.
Regulatory information
5. Appendix
84
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries
are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections).
The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the
countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system
rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is
not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for
requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may
not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be
embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as
known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be
embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,
manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of
the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact
during normal operation.
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with
equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless
Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the
option to use a wireless device may be restricted or
eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas
laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in
environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use
wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless
devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device,
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the
wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the
body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should
be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless
devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.
Examples of common restrictions are listed below:
when traveling between countries with your system, check
with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or
trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the
destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all
covers and shields are in place and the system is fully
assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them
in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the
authorization to use it. Contact manufacturer for service.
Regulatory information
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device
will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or
contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional
information.
