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 te lephone 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 te lep hone 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 al l 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 protector s 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.

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a gener al overview of consi derations while oper ating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless dev i ces i n 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, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use m ay 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

xvii

Page 19

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.

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 transmitti ng.

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

Page 75

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 F.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 1) and optional paper tray (Tray 2)

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

• 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 F.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

C (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should 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 Multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.

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 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.

- 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

- 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.

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.

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 F.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.
