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 general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in 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 may 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 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 transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions n wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

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

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

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.

• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality.

• Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier.

• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.

• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a coloured coating that was added after the paper was produced.

• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heatresistant ink that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

• 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

4.4

Selecting the Output Location

The printer has two output locations; the rear output tray and the top output tray.

(Face up)

The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up, with the last page on top.

Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear output tray provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray might improve output quality with the following:

• over 100 sheets of paper continuously

• envelopes

• labels

• small custom-size paper

• postcards

• paper lighter than 60 g/m

Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about loading paper in the Tray1 or the optional Tray2, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.6.

Using the Multi-Purpose Tray

Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact.

Multi-Purpose Tray

The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies, cards and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterheads, coloured paper for use as separator sheets, or other special materials that you do not normally keep in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10 envelopes, 50 transparencies, 10 card stocks or 25 labels at a time.

4.8

SING PRINT MATERIALS

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multi-Purpose Tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper or ant other media when there is still paper or media in the Multi-Purpose Tray.

• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and be placed with the centre of the tray.

• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid pressing down or applying excessive force on it. The tray may be damaged if the above is done.

To load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray:

Pull the Multi-Purpose Tray down towards you.

Guidelines

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 205°C (400°F) for 0.1 second.

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.

• Do not feed a sheet of label through the printer more than once.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Printing on Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (letterhead paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).

Guidelines

• 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 400 °F (205 °C) 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 moisture-proof 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.

1 Load letterheads into the tray as shown below. Adjust the

guides to fit the width of the paper stack.

Printing on Card Stock or Customsized Materials

Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in. (index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with your printer. The minimum size is 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.).

Guidelines

• Always insert the short-edge into the Multi-Purpose 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 load more than 10 cards into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.

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

• Set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) away from the edges of the material in the software application
