Important Precautions and Safety Information

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

Read and understand all instructions.

Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

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

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.

Unplug the product 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.

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

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

Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your product where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone, or PC interface cords.

Never push objects of any kind into the product 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 product.

Your product may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type product). 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.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the product. 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.

Unplug the product 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 product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

• If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

• If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

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 product to normal operation.

Avoid using this product 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.

Read this chapter to learn how to select and load print media and how to use the print settings.

The topics included in this chapter are:

• Paper Selection

• Loading Speciality Paper

• Printing a Document

• Printer Settings

• Using the Printer Control Program

Paper Selection

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible printing performance of your product is to select the correct paper. Your product produces letter quality print on most plain bond paper, including cotton bond and photocopying paper; it does not require special ink jet paper. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Your printer supports the following types of paper. Select the right paper.

•

Plain Paper

The product supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges.

•

Coated paper

Paper developed for high quality printing with minimal or no smearing or running when in contact with water or damp surfaces.

•

Glossy/Photo Paper

A high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper to produce photo-realistic prints from your printer.

•

Transparency

Your transparencies should be products designed for use in Ink Jet products, with excellent contrast, sharpness, and colour quality. The transparency is placed in the product with the image side up.

•

Iron-on Transfer

Use inkjet T-shirt transfers to create and personalize Tshirts, sweatshirts, aprons, tablecloths, napkins, tote bags, and anything else your imagination allows! Use on any cotton or cotton/poly blend fabric. Your image is printed in mirror image so when you iron it onto the Tshirt, the image is viewed correctly.

2.2

RINT

•

Greeting Card Stock

You can create greeting cards, business cards, invitations, announcements, and more.

OTE

When you print on different papers, you have to set the

appropriate paper type in your application. See page 2.10.

Guidelines for Special Media

Be sure to read any instructions that come with your special paper. These instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality with these papers.

• It is recommended that you feed special paper types one sheet at a time.

• For transparencies and glossy photo paper, follow these guidelines:

- Let the printed sheets dry completely before handling or storing them.

- When a printed sheet has dried completely, cover the printed side with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it, this is recommended even if you place the sheets in a clear file or plastic holder.

- Do not leave the film in the paper output tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.

- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparency film and coated paper carefully.

- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to prolonged sunlight.

RINT

2.3

• Store unused media flat. Do not remove paper from its protective packaging until you are ready to use it.

• Store unused media at temperatures between 59 and 86 (15 to 30

C). The relative humidity should be between

10% and 70%.

• If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.

• Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this product. Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the cartridge.

Loading Speciality Paper

Follow these guidelines when loading speciality paper:

Load up to: And make sure:

100 sheets of 20lb plain paper

•The paper guides rest against the edge of the iron-on transfers.

Paper Guidelines

• When loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in mind:

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

• Use only high quality inkjet or copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until 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.

• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Always use paper and other media that conform with those

listed under “Paper Specification” on page 8.5.

RINT

2.5

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well

creased folds.

• DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and/or snaps.

• DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-

adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

• DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
