Where to Put the Printer
The printer’s location should be carefully chosen
because environmental conditions greatly affect its
performance.
Warning
•
Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and
freely accessible, so that in event of an emergency, it
can be unplugged easily.
•
Only connect the machine to the power source
described on this manual.
•
Avoid multi-wiring.
•
Do not damage, break or make any modifications to
the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull
it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions
could cause an electric shock or fire.
•
The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment
only. Do not use with other appliances. Doing so may
result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
Caution
•
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing so might
cause an electrical shock.
•
Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum
environmental conditions. Operating the machine in
an environment that is outside the recommended
ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an
electrical fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket
free of dust. Accumulated dust can become an
electrical fire hazard.
•
Place the machine on a strong and level surface.
Otherwise, it might fall and injure someone.
•
If you use the machine in a confined space, ensure
there is continuous air circulation.
❖
Space Required for Installation
Leave enough space around the printer. This space is
necessary to operate the printer. The recommended (or
minimum) space requirements are as follows:
❖
Optimum Environmental Conditions
Permissible and recommended temperature and
humidity ranges are as follows:
%RH
• White area: Permissible Range
• Gray area: Recommended Range
• The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2˝ from
both front to rear and left to right.
• To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this
machine in a large well ventilated room that has an
air turnover of more than 30 m
• When you use this machine for a long time in a
confined space without good ventilation, you may
detect an odd smell. To keep the workplace
comfortable, we recommend you keep it well
ventilated.
❖
Space Required for Installation
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight or strong light
• Dusty areas
• Areas with corrosive gases
• Areas that are excessively cold, hot, or humid
• Locations near air conditioners or humidifiers

AQC028S
Installing the Toner Cartridge
The following procedure describes how to install the
toner cartridge.
Warning
•
Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner
dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to
an open flame.
Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer
or an appropriate collection site.
If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself,
dispose of them according to local regulations.
Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers
in a place with an open flame. The toner might ignite
and cause burns or a fire.
Caution
•
Keep ink (used or unused) and ink containers out
of reach of children.
•
If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty
of water and move into a fresh air environment.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
•
If your skin comes into contact with toner or used
toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap
and water.
•
If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a
doctor if necessary.
Caution
•
If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking
a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if
necessary.
•
Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when
removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin
comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area
thoroughly with soap and water.
•
If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water.
Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may
make removing the stain impossible.
• When you first use this printer, use the four toner
cartridges supplied with the printer.
• The toner cartridges that comes with the printer will
allow you to print up to about 3,000 pages. These
numbers were obtained from printing A4 5%
charts, but the actual number of pages will vary
depending on the paper type, size, contents, and
settings.
• The toner cartridge for replacement comes in two
types for different number of printable pages: 15,000
pages and 5,000 pages.
• Toner Cartridges (consumable) are not covered by
warranty. However, if there is a problem, contact the
dealer where you purchased the printer.
• Toner cartridge mouths may become dirty during
quality inspection.
Take the toner cartridges out of the box.
AET131S
Shake the toner cartridge up and down
seven or eight times.
AET132S
Remove the tape holding the toner
cartridge.
AET133S
First, install the yellow toner cartridge.
Holding the toner cartridge horizontally
) with the locking lever on the upper
(
side, install the toner cartridge bottom
first, and then move the locking lever to
the triangle mark (
).
AQC009S
Turn the locking lever to the circle mark.
Pull the locking lever toward you, until
it locks and clicks into place.
AQC011S
• Do not repeatedly insert and remove toner cartridges.
Doing so results in toner leakage.
Use the same procedures to insert the
remaining three toner cartridges: cyan
(C), magenta (M), and black (K).
Close the top cover.
• Do not turn off the power switch while “Loading
Toner...” appears on the display. Doing so results in
malfunction.
LOADING PAPER
The following describes how to load paper into the
standard paper tray (Tray 1).
Caution
•
Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do,
the tray might fall and cause an injury.
• To avoid paper jams, make sure paper is not stacked
above the limit mark inside the tray. Misfeeds might
occur.
• Do not mix different types of paper in a single paper
tray.
Slowly slide out the paper tray (Tray1),
until it stops. Then, lift it slightly, and
then pull it out completely.
Pinch the green clips of the side guide
and the end guide and adjust the
guides to the paper size being loaded.
AET042S
Slide the green switch on the front of
the tray to the type of paper to be
loaded. When loading paper of 75 g/m
20 lb., or thicker, slide the switch to the
right.
AET043S
Load the new paper stack print side
up, making sure the paper is flush
against the paper guides. Adjust the
paper guides to close any gaps.
AET044S
Lift the front of the paper tray (Tray 1),
and slowly slide the paper tray back,
until it stops. Make sure the tray is fully
inserted to prevent paper jams.
AET045S
