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.

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.

17. Pull the plug out from the outlet more than once a year to clean around the prongs. Accumulating dust and dirt could cause a fire due to the heat released by electric leakage.

18. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

19. Use only No.26 AWG or larger telephone line cord.

20. Never attempt to incinerate toner cartridges. This could cause an explosion. Do not dispose of used toner cartridges. Contact your service representative.

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.

You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

Selecting print materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with your machine. Paper that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

•Premature wear on the machine.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output quality. 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 input tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

- 16 to 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m

- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 165 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.

NOTES

• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which TOSHIBA TEC has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure that the paper meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print materials

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

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed on page 3.2.

• 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 paper 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

• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your machine.

• Store paper 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 materials at temperatures between 15

C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be

30 between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused paper in 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 manual feeder to avoid paper jams.

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

Guidelines for special materials

Paper 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

(24 lb) or jamming may

occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) 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 208° C (406.4° F) 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 (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

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 208° C (406.4° F), 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 208° C (406.4° F), 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 (5 inches) 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 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.

• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.

Loading original documents and paper

Paper Type Guidelines

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 208° C (406.4° F) 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

In the paper input tray

Load the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the paper input tray. The paper input tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb (

To load paper, pull open the paper input tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the paper input tray.

Expected toner cartridge life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the toner cartridge more often.

• 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

• 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

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

The scanner does not work.

The unit scans very slowly.

• Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the document glass.

• There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate.

• Check that the USB cable is connected properly.

• Make sure that the USB cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a known good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

• Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check the scan setting in the application you want to use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port, for example, LPT1.

• Check if the machine is printing received data. If so, scan the document after the received data has been printed.

• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

• Communication speed slows in scan mode because of the large amount of memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image. Set your computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It will help to increase the speed. For details about how to set BIOS, refer to your computer User’s Guide.

Frequent copy paper jams occur.

• Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the paper input tray. Replace the paper in the paper input tray with a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if necessary.

• Ensure that the paper is the proper paper weight

• Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper

remaining in the machine after a paper jam has been cleared.

(20 lb bond) paper is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Condition Suggested solutions

Message appears on your computer screen:

• “Device can't be set to the H/W mode you want.”

• “Port is being used by another program.”

• “Port is disabled.”

•“Scanner is busy receiving or printing data. When the current job is completed, try again.”

• “Invalid handle.”

• “Scanning has failed.”

• There may be a copying or printing job in progress. When that job is complete, try your job again.

• The Selected port is currently being used. Restart your computer and try again.

• The printer cable may be improperly connected or the power may be off.

• The scanner driver is not installed or the operating environment is not set up properly.

• Ensure that the machine is properly connected and the power is on, Then restart your computer.

• The USB cable may be improperly connected or the power may be off.

Common Windows problems

Condition Suggested solutions

“File in Use” message appears during installation.

“Error Writing to LPTx” message appears.

“General Protection Fault ”, “Exception OE”, “Spool32”, or “Illegal Operation” messages appear.

“Fail To Print”, “A printer timeout error occurred.” messages appear.

NOTE

: Refer to Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista User’s Guide that came with your PC for further information on Windows error messages.

Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.

• Ensure that the cables are connected correctly, the machine is on.

• If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message.

Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again.

These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the message appears in standby mode or after printing has been completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred.

Installing Printer Software

You can install the printer software for local printing. To install the printer software on the 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.

A local printer is a printer directly attached to your computer using the printer cable supplied with your printer, such as a USB or parallel cable.

You can install the printer software using the typical or custom method.

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 powered on.

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

If you use Windows Vista, when you are asked to allow the installation, click

The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation window appears.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as

you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 6.

Click the section.

In the Edit Overlay window, click

In the Create Overlay window, type a name of up to eight characters in the path, if necessary. (The default is C:\Formover).

6 Scanning

Scanning Process with TWAIN-

Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital files on your computer. Then you can fax or e-mail the files, display them on your web site or use them to create projects that you can print using the WIA driver.

This chapter includes:

• Scanning Process with TWAIN-enabled Software

• Scanning Using the WIA Driver

OTES

• Check the Operating System(s) that are compatible with your printer. Please refer to the OS Compatibility section of Printer Specifications in your Printer User’s Guide.

• You can check your printer name in the supplied CDROM.

• The maximum resolution that can be achieved depends upon various factors, including computer speed, available disk space, memory, the size of the image being scanned, and bit depth settings. Thus, depending on your system and what you are scanning, you may not be able to scan at certain resolutions, especially using enhanced dpi.

enabled Software

If you want to scan documents using other software, you will need to use TWAIN-compliant software, such as Adobe PhotoDeluxe or Adobe Photoshop. The first time you scan with your machine, select it as your TWAIN source in the application you use.

The basic scanning process involves a number of steps:

Make sure that your machine and computer are turned on and properly connected to each other.

Place a document face down on the document glass.

Open an application, such as PhotoDeluxe or Photoshop.

Open the TWAIN window and set the scan options.

Scan and save your scanned image.

OTE

: You need to follow the program’s instructions for acquiring an image. Please refer to the user’s guide of the application.

Scanning

Scanning Using the WIA Driver

Your machine also supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for scanning images. WIA is one of the standard



components provided by Microsoft with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the WIA driver allows you to scan and easily manipulate images without using additional software.

OTE

: The WIA driver works only on Windows XP/Vista with

USB port.
