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.

17 The Power cord supplied with your machine should be used for safe operation. If

you are using a cord which is longer than 2 m with 110 V machine, then it should

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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:

• 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.

This chapter introduces you to how to load originals and print media into your machine.

This chapter includes:

• Loading originals

• Selecting print media

• Loading paper

• Setting the paper size and type

• Verifying an output location

Loading originals

You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass. To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images, use the scanner glass.

1 Lift and open the scanner lid.

2 Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with

the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.

3 Close the scanner lid.

Notes

• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality and toner consumption.

• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout. Always keep it clean.

In the ADF

Using the ADF, you can load up to 30 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) for one job.

When you use the ADF:

• Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm or larger than 216 x 356 mm.

• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper:

- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

- coated paper

- onion skin or thin paper

- wrinkled or creased paper

- curled or rolled paper

- torn paper

• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.

• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading.

• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.

• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents having other unusual characteristics.

5.1 <

Loading originals and print media>

To load an original into the ADF:

1 Load the original face up into the ADF. Make sure that the bottom of

the original stack matches the paper size marked on the document input tray.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 5.3.

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

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following media types:

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Multi-paged paper

- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

- Carbonless paper and tracing paper Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical

smells, and damage to your machine.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 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 print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C. The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

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

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Caution

If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the rear cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

Media type Guidelines

Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends upon

the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 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 during operation.

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Acceptable

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 of 180 °C for 0,1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

• 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.

or jamming may

Media type Guidelines

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing temperature.

• 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.

• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.

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

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

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 180 °C, the machine’s fusing temperature.

- 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: Prior to printing, labels 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.

• 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 or custom-sized materials

• Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm wide or 148 mm long.

• In the software application, set margins at least 6,4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Preprinted paper

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature of 180 °C for 0,1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Loading paper

Cleaning your machine

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

Caution

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

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.

Cautions

• 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 surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

3 Pull the manual tray out.

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.

1 Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the

machine to cool down.

2 Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a

clean flat surface.

4 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from

the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Caution

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 scan quality problems.

7 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.

8 Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

Cleaning the scan unit

Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed.

1 Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.

2 Open the scanner lid.

4 Wipe the underside of the scanner lid and white sheet until it is

clean and dry.

5 Close the scanner lid.

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

• 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.

Expected cartridge yield

The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. Average yield for a new toner cartridge is 3,000 standard pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the original toner cartridge supplied with the machine is 1,500 standard pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

12.3 <

Maintenance>

Redistributing toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

• White streaks or light printing occurs.

• Toner Low appears on the display.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.

1 Open the front cover.

2 Pull the toner cartridge out.

4 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge

into the opening in the machine.

Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

3 Thoroughly roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner

evenly inside the cartridge.

Note

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.

Caution

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

12.4 <

Replacing the toner cartridge

When the toner cartridge is completely empty:

• Toner Empty Replace Toner appears on the display.

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See page 12.4. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See page 5.7.

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver and page 2.3, respectively.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See page 12.5.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 12.2.

• The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See page 5.7.

• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. See page 12.2.

• The paper path may need cleaning. See page

If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. See page 5.7.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.

• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

Condition Suggested solutions

Vertical lines

Gray background

Toner smear

Vertical repetitive defects

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 12.4.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 12.2.

If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper. See page 5.7.

• Check the machine’s environment: very dry (low humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can increase the amount of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 12.4.

• Clean the inside of the machine. See page 12.2.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.7.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 12.4.

Condition Suggested solutions

Background scatter

Misformed characters

Page skew

AaBbCc

Curl or wave

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 papers. 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 page

5.7.

• 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 page 5.7.

• 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 the paper to curl. See page 5.7.

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

Common Linux problems

Problem Possible cause and solutions

The machine does not print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver 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 has 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 a document when a 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.

• The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the socket printing instead of ipp or install later version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

The machine does not appear on the scanners list.

The printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text or illustrations are missing.

• 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 your machine is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window. Check if the port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same 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 appears.

• To identify the source of the problem, you should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. 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 you should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present port's owner is not functioning properly.

Troubleshooting>

Problem Possible cause and solutions

The machine does not scan.

I cannot scan via Gimp Front-end.

• 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 an I/O error is reported while scanning.

• Check if the port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same 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 will be displayed. To identify the source of the problem, you should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. 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 the Release port button, if you are sure that the present port’s owner is not functioning properly.

• 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.

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

Please avoid changing the print job parameters (via LPR GUI, 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 Unified Linux Driver locks 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 port.

Common Macintosh problems (SCX-4725FN only)

Problem Suggested solutions

The printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text or illustrations are missing.

The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2.

Some letters are not displayed normally during the Cover page printing.

Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products:

Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem. Turn on Print as

Image from the Acrobat printing options.

Note: It will take longer to print when

you print a PDF file as an image.

Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3. or higher.

This problem is caused because Mac OS can not create the font during the Cover page printing. English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally at the Cover page.

Installing Printer Software

You can install the printer software for local printing or network printing. To install the printer software on th e computer, perform the appropriate installation procedure depending on the printer in use.

A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer . The procedure to install drivers may differ depending on the operating system you are using.

All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning installation.

This is recommended for most users. All components necessary for printer operations will be installed.

Make sure that the printer is connected to your computer and power ed on.

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation

window appears.
