Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to people:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature accompanying the machine.

4. If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for assistance.

5. Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing serious damage.

7. Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air conditioner or ventilation duct.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power. 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, telephone 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. Your machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type machine). 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.

14. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, 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 and telephone cord for the duration of the lightning storm.

17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

18. Use only No.26 AWG or larger telephone line cord.

Fax Branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following information:

(1) the date and time of transmission (2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the

message; and (3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or

individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be fo und o n th e la b el l oc ate d o n th e b ot tom or r ea r o f th e m ach in e. I n s ome in sta nc es you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

xiii

You should also know that:

• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we

recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency

numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency number.

• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

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 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.

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.

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

• Loading Paper

• Selecting an Output Location

Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and etc.. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page D.6. 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 lb (60 ~ 90 g/m tray (Tray 1) and optional paper tray (Tray 2)

- 16 ~ 43 lb (60 ~ 163 g/m tray

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

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 D.6.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and 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 and 30

between 10 % and 70 %.

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

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

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the Multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.

• 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 print out.

•For 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-

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.

APER HANDLING

3.3

- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of

time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.

- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them

carefully.

- To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to

prolonged sunlight.

•For labels:

- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing

temperature of 200

- 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 machine.

Loading Paper

3.4

APER HANDLING

In the Standard Tray

Load the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the standard tray.

The standard tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.

You can purchase an optional paper tray (Tray 2) and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. See page C.5 for more information about installing the optional Tray 2.

The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.

Paper full

Paper empty

To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray.

For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.7.

OTES

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the Multipurpose tray.

• You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

APER HANDLING

3.5

In the Multipurpose Tray

The Multipurpose tray can hold several sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper. You can load approximately 50 sheets of plain paper, 5 envelopes, 5 transparencies, 5 sheets of card stock, or 5 labels at a time.

To load print material in the Multipurpose tray:

Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.

If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

For envelopes, load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.

OTES

• If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of envelopes in the Multipurpose tray.

Tips on Using the Multipurpose Tray

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multipurpose tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multipurpose tray. This also applies to other types of print materials.

• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the Multipurpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.

• Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on page D.6 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the Multipurpose tray.

• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.) sized media on the Multipurpose tray, open the rear door to use the rear output slot.

• Make sure to open the rear door when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.

• If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the paper around the tray again.
