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.

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.

Laser Safety Statement

The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR, chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class I(1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC

825.

Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service condition.

WARNING

Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed from Laser/Scanner assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes.

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.

Radio Frequency Emissions

FCC Information to the User

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

•This device may not cause harmful interference, and

•This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or experienced radio TV technician for help.

AUTION

manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Canadian Radio Interference Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Industry and Science Canada.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques”, ICES-003 édictée par l’Industrie et Sciences Canada.

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.

Page 8

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances 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.

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 your machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your machine.

• 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.

• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

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.

vii

Page 9

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

The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:

: You must earth this machine.

• 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.

Selecting Print Materials

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

• Verifying an Output Location

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the tray.

• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m

bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page feeding.

• 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 10.3.

• 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

be between 10 % and 70 %.

• 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 manual tray or the 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:

• For transparencies:

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

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. Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers.

Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together.

Do not feed stamped envelopes.

Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.

Do not leave them in the 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.

Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.

•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.

Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials: Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other

custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer. The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)

Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or 5 in. (127 mm) long.

• For preprinted paper: Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that

will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.

Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moistureproof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.

Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection at any time.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your fax number from outside.

To set up the DRPD mode:

When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.

When the machine completes learning, the LCD displays “End DRPD Setup”.

If the DRPD setup fails, “DRPD Ring Error” appears. Press

Enter

when “DRPD Mode” displays and retry from step 3.

To return to Standby mode, press

When the DRPD feature is set up, the DRPD option is available in the Receive Mode menu. To receive faxes in the DRPD mode, you need to set the menu to page 7.2.

OTES

• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect the machine to another telephone line.

• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack.

Receiving Faxes in the Memory

Cleaning Your Machine

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.

Pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down. Set it on a clean flat surface.

AUTIONS

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

Cleaning the Outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

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 or reduces these problems.

Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down.

AUTIONS

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

Saving toner

To save toner, press the panel; see “Toner Save Mode” on page 2.11. The button backlight turns on. Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

Toner Save

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Redistributing Toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner.

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing error may occur when you print.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When the display on the control panel shows the warning message, “[Toner Empty]” the toner cartridge has run out but continues printing. For the SCX-4521F, incoming faxes are saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to be replaced.

OTE

: You can set the machine to ignore the “[Toner Empty]” message and to continue printing incoming faxes. See “Ignoring the Toner Empty Message page 8.5.

Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.

Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to redistribute the toner.

OTE

: 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.

Setting the Notify Toner Option

(Only for SCX-4521F)

If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On”, your machine automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer to notify them. The fax number is preset by your dealer when you bought your machine.

Curl or wave

Wrinkles or creases

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 the printer properties.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. For service, contact a service representative.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

Scanning Problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The scanner does not work.

The unit scans very slowly.

Fax Problems

• Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the document glass, or face up in the Automatic Document Feeder.

• There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate.

• Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected properly.

• Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a known good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is compliant with IEEE 1284 standards.

• Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check scan setting in the SmarThru Configuration or the application you want to use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port, for example, LPT1.

• Check if the machine is printing received data. If so, scan the document after the received data has been printed.

• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

• Communication speed slows in scan mode because of the large amount of memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image. Set your computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It will help to increase the speed. For details about how to set BIOS, refer to your computer User’s Guide.

Common Linux Problems

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The machine doesn’t print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the

Start

button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.

Check if your application has special print option 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 command line parameter in the command item.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

• Check if your machine is attached to your computer. Make sure that it is connected properly via the USB port and is turned on.

• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in your system. Open MFP Configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window.

• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. This can usually happen while starting scan procedure, and appropriate message box displays. To identify the source of the problem, you should open MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. MFP port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, / dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at / dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present port's owner is not functioning properly.

• Check if a document is loaded into the machine.

• Check if your machine is connected to the computer. Make sure if it is connected properly if I/O error is reported while scanning.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

I can’t print when I installed both Linux Print Package (LPP) and MFP driver on the same machine simultaneously.

• Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a symbolic link to “lpr” printing command, which is commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to use both package on the same machine.

• If you still want to use both packages simultaneously, please install the LPP first.

• If you want to uninstall only one of them, please uninstall both packages and install that one you want to use again.

• If you don’t want to uninstall MFP driver and install it again, you may make the necessary symbolic link yourself. Please, log in as root user and invoke the following command:

ln -sf /usr/local/bin/samsung/slpr /usr/bin/lpr

Can’t scan via Gimp Frontend.

I encounter error “Cannot open MFP port device file” when printing a document.

• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device dialog..” on the “Acquire” menu. If not, you should install Xsane plugin for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For the detail information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application.

If you wish to use other kind of scan application, refer to the Help for application.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR utility, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the MFP port.

Your product not listed at Product List Window after you click Add and Select USB.

• Make sure that the cables are connected correctly and the printer is turned on.

• Check if “Ready” appears on the display of the control panel. If not, clear the problem depending on the error message; see “Clearing LCD Error Messages” on page 9.4.

• Make sure that the correct printer driver has been selected at Product List Window after you click Add and Select USB.

Paper Storage Environment

Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.

Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 20 lb (75 g/m

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 0.25 in. (6 mm) 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.

• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.

Minimum Maximum

3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm)

OTES

• Load only one sheet of paper at a time to print envelopes.

• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 5.5 in. (140 mm). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.5.

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

Labels

AUTIONS

• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers.

• To prevent serious jams, always load one sheet of paper at a time to print labels.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels.

Correct

Incorrect

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even damage the fuser.

Envelope Margins

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.

Type of Address Minimum Maximum

Return address 0.6 in. (15 mm) 2 in. (51 mm)

Delivery address 2 in. (51 mm) 3.5 in. (90 mm)

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 5 in. (13 mm) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or other indications of separation.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

AUTION

transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

: To avoid damaging the machine, use only

OTES

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than

0.6 in. (15 mm) from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in 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 do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer 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.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 7.
