General Guidelines

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used
in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other
types of paper within the limits specified below.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result
in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme
cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase
the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing
and reducing wear and tear on the machine.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper
intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The
most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass
through the machine. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture
content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade
of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and
the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the
machine’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high­quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not
economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later).
The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m² (16 to 32 pounds).

Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details
are given on the following pages.

Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.

Condition

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed,
or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.

Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper
jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using
paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should
have as smooth and even a surface as possible.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains
plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off
harmful fumes.

Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 % of the
total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.

Paper Sizes

Cassettes and the MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the
table below. For details, including the paper sizes for the paper feeder
(Optional paper feeder PF-500, PF-510) refer to Cassette (1 to 4) Size
(Setting the cassette paper size) on page 2-33.
The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length
and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

Handling Paper 1-5

Smoothness

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough
or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too
smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a
gray background effect.)

Basis Weight

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter
(g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper
jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper,
namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or
print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.

The recommended basis weight is:

Cassette: 60 to 120 g/m

2

MP tray: 60 to 220 g/m

1-6 Handling Paper

Thickness

The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor
extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple
feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you
are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may
be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Moisture Content

Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry
mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed
ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.

The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the
room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture,
the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. When the
relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink
and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.

Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The
moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6 %.

To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a
controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:

• Store paper in a cool, dry location.

• Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Re-wrap paper
that is not in use.

• Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton
to separate it from the floor.

• After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as
the machine for 48 hours before use.

• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.

Paper Grain

When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain running
parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain).
Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper
used in the machine should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.

Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper

jams.

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked.

Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is

electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to
release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the
Output Tray.

Note When using coated paper, be aware that the sheets will

stick together in a very humid environment.

Handling Paper 1-7

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness
of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged
edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause
the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier
should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not
occur.

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from
damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable
supplier is usually correctly packaged.

Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat­fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes,
postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP tray. For details,
refer to Paper Source (Selecting the paper feed source) on page 2-39.

Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably,
special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during
printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off
during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.

Note You might see the printer emitting steam in the area around

the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue
printing.

1-8 Handling Paper

Transparency

Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700
(Letter, A4).

The table below lists the specifications for transparency:

To prevent printing problems,
feed transparencies into the
printer one sheet at a time
from the MP tray. Always load
the transparencies vertically
(with the long edge towards
the printer).

If the transparencies have
rough edges on the back, it
may cause a paper jam.
Remove the rough edges,
reverse the sides or feed the
sheet from the opposite edge.

When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them
carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.

Item Specification

Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F)

Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches)

Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°

Handling Paper 1-9

Labels

Labels must be fed from the MP tray or optional paper feeder PF-510.

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must
never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper
sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.

Label paper has a structure
comprising of three layers, as
shown in the diagram. The top
sheet is printed on. The
adhesive layer consists of
pressure-sensitive adhesives.
The carrier sheet (also called
the linear or backing sheet)
holds the labels until used.
Due to the complexity of its
composition, adhesive-backed
label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no
spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are
liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.

Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet
around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet
until after printing is finished.

The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Item Specification

Weight of top sheet 44 to 74 g/m² (12 to 20 lb/ream)

Composite weight 104 to 151 g/m² (28 to 40 lb/ream)

1-10 Handling Paper

Postcards

Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the
MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled.
Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams.

Some postcards have rough
edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut).
In this case, put the postcards
on a flat place and rub the
edges with, for example, a ruler
to smooth them.

Envelopes

Slide the envelope switch to
envelope mode and print.

IMPORTANT Envelopes
cannot be printed in paper
mode. When printing plain
paper while the envelope
mode is selected, the printing
speed and quality will lower
than in paper mode.

Envelopes should always be
fed from the MP tray, with the
print-side down. If you use
envelopes quite often, we
recommend to use optional
paper feeder PF-510.

Since the composition of an
envelope is more complex than
that of ordinary paper, it is not
always possible to ensure
consistent printing quality over
the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper
Grain on page 1-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases
when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes,
make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.

• Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

• Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope
printing can cause premature printer wear.

• If jams occur, try setting a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.

• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the top tray.

Thick Paper

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP
tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place
and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.
Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper,
refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2. In addition, the pigments used
in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the

printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper,
refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2. The preprinted ink must be able
to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not
be affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface
treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars.

Recycled Paper

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white
bond paper except for whiteness, refer to Paper Specifications on page
1-2.

Coated Paper

Coated paper is created by treating the surface of the base paper with a
coating that provides higher printing quality than plain paper. Coated
paper is used for particularly high quality printing.

The surface of high-quality or medium-quality paper is coated with special
agents that improve ink adhesion by making the paper surface smoother.
These agents are used either to coat both sides of the paper or just one
side. The coated side appears slightly glossy.

Note If the paper jams

even after you smooth
it out, load the paper in
the MP tray with the
leading edge raised up
a few millimeters as
shown in the
illustration.

If you use thick paper
quite often, we
recommend to use optional paper feeder PF-510.

Note If you use colored paper quite often, we recommend to use

optional paper feeder PF-510.

Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the

machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

1-12 Handling Paper

IMPORTANT When printing on coated paper in very humid
environments, ensure that the paper is kept dry as moisture may
cause sheets to stick together when they are fed into the printer.

Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-510)

If you are going to load non
standard paper in the optional
paper feeder PF-510, cut out
the blank section of the
attached paper type indicator
sheet, fold the remaining sheet
in half and insert it into the
cassette's display folder so
that the paper type symbol is
displayed.

Paper Type

The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of
paper being used.

Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operation
panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and
print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.

A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source
including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it
is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types.

General Information

This chapter provides the information you need to configure the Ecosys
Color printer. In general you need to use the operation panel only to make
default settings. You can make most changes to the printer settings using
the printer driver through the application software.

You can also access the printer's various settings from a remote location,
by using the control panel, the printer driver or other utilities such as the
Status Monitor Utility. Other printer utilities can be installed using the CD­ROM supplied with the printer.

The chapter describes the operation panel in detail, including its menus
and the procedures for changing various printer settings.

Note Changes to printer settings made using a software

application override changes made using the operation panel.

Binding Modes

Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined
together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types
of binding are: long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together
along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined
together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also
consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or
short-edge binding with either landscape or portrait printing.

Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer
provides four types of binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2)
portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short­edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.

Note Duplex printing can be also performed from the MP tray. If

the paper to be fed from the MP tray does not match the paper
size and paper type of the current paper feed source cassette, a
paper jam may occur.

Network (Network settings)

This printer supports TCP/IP and TCP/IP (IPv6) protocols.

IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol. This printer routinely uses the
TCP/IP (IPv4) protocol, but provides a separate setting for the next­generation IP, IPv6.

TCP/IP (IPv4) uses 32-bit IP addresses, but the rapid growth in the
number of Internet users has resulted in a shortage of IP addresses. IPv6
was developed to expand the range of available IP addresses by using
128-bit IP addresses.

The options available in the Network settings are as follows:

• TCP/IP (IPv4 settings)

• TCP/IP (IPv6) (IPv6 settings)

1 Press [MENU].

2 Press U or V repeatedly until Network > appears.

TCP/IP (IPv4 settings)

This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv4).

The TCP/IP system refers to the Internet system, which has a 5-layer
structure consisting of the interface layer, link layer, network (IP) layer,
transport (TCP/UDP) layer and application layer.

The interface layer is a key layer in the TCP/IP system that provides an
abstracted interface that is not dependent on the link (communication
line: frame relay or Ethernet, etc.) to the IP module (IP layer). This means
that the IP module can use this abstracted interface (which is not
dependent on the link type) to exchange IP packets back and forth with
the link layer.

The options available in the TCP/IP (IPv4) settings are as follows:

• DHCP (DHCP setting)

• IP Address (IP address setting)

• Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting)

• Gateway (Gateway setting)

• Bonjour (Bonjour setting)

IMPORTANT The DHCP, IP address, subnet mask, gateway and
Bonjour menu options for TCP/IP are displayed when TCP/IP is
enabled.

DHCP (DHCP setting)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol that assigns
the information required to establish a network connection when a host
attempts to connect to the network (Internet). This information includes
the IP address of the local node and the default router (the router in the
host's own network system) and the DNS (Domain Name System) server.
DHCP is an extension of the BOOTP (Bootstrap) startup protocol.

6 Press [MENU]. The display returns to Ready.

IP Address (IP address setting)

An IP address is the address of a network device such as a computer and
is included in IP packets as needed for the sending and receiving of
Internet data (IP packets). (IP addresses can be either destination
addresses or source addresses.)

Specifically, an IP address is a bit string consisting of a host address (or
host section) that identifies a computer (host) connected to the Internet
and a network address (or network section) that identifies the network to
which that computer belongs (or more specifically, the computer's
network interface). Bit strings (IP addresses) that are unique throughout
the entire Internet system are allocated to each computer or interface.

The IP addresses currently used on the Internet (IPv4) have a fixed length
of 32 bits.

1 Press Z while >TCP/IP On > is displayed.

2 Press U or V repeatedly until >>IP Address appears.

3 Press [OK]. A blinking cursor (_) appears.

2-50 Using the Operation Panel

Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting)

The subnet mask is a way of augmenting the network address section of
an IP address.

A subnet mask represents all network address sections as 1 and all host
address sections as 0. The number of bits in the prefix indicates the
length of the network address. The term "prefix" refers to something
added to the beginning and, in this context, indicates the first section of
the IP address.

When an IP address is written, the length of the network address can
indicated by the prefix length after a forward slash (/). For example, "24"
in the address "133.210.2.0/24". In this way, "133.210.2.0/24" denotes
the IP address "133.210.2.0" with a 24-bit prefix (network section).

This new network address section (originally part of the host address)
made possible by the subnet mask is referred to as the subnet address.

1 Press Z while >TCP/IP On > is displayed.

2 Press U or V repeatedly until >>Subnet Mask appears.

3 Press [OK]. A blinking cursor (_) appears.

6 Press [MENU]. The display returns to Ready.

Gateway (Gateway setting)

Gateway generally refers to a protocol conversion device used to allow
networks with differing protocol systems to interconnect.

For example, a "Gateway" device is required to connect a different closed
network (using its own protocols) to the open Internet (using TCP/IP).

By installing a gateway, the communications protocols and data display
modes on different networks can be made compatible.

On TCP/IP networks, the term gateway is used to refer to routers.

Bonjour (Bonjour setting)

Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, is a service that
automatically detects computers, devices and services on an IP network.

Bonjour, because an industry-standard IP protocol is used, allows
devices to automatically recognize each other without an IP address
being specified or DNS server being set.

Bonjour also sends and receives network packets by UDP port 5353. If a
firewall is enabled, the user must check that UDP port 5353 is left open
so that Bonjour will run correctly. Some firewalls are set up so as to reject
only certain Bonjour packets. If Bonjour does not run stably, check the
firewall settings and ensure that Bonjour is registered on the exceptions
list and that Bonjour packets are accepted. If you install Bonjour on
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, the Windows firewall will be set up
correctly for Bonjour.

This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv6).

TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4).
IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available
address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses
under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional
security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.

The options available in the TCP/IP (IPv6) settings are as follows:

Configuration Protocol and supports IPv6. It extends the BOOTP startup
protocol that defines the protocols used for transferring configuration
information to hosts on the network.

DHCPv6 permits the DHCP server to use its expanded functionality to
send configuration parameters to an IPv6 node. Because the network
addresses that can be used are allocated automatically, the IPv6 node
management workload is reduced in systems where the administrator
has to exercise close control over IP address allocation.

NetWare (NetWare setting)

NetWare is a PC-based network operating system specifically for servers.

NetWare is a client-server system that operates by installing the NetWare
OS on the server and dedicated client modules (NetWare clients) on the
client machines (running MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows, etc.). The basic
network layer protocol used is NetWare's own IPX (Internetwork Packet
eXchange)/SPX (Sequenced Packet eXchange), but the system also
supports TCP/IP.

The feature of the NetWare OS is that it is specifically for servers, unlike
general-purpose operating systems such as Windows NT and UNIX.
Only the minimum required for server operation can be performed from
the NetWare OS console on the server. Server and file management is
basically carried out using management tools from the clients. Also, all
drivers and protocol stacks are in the form of modules called NetWare
Loadable Modules (NLMs), and the ability of NLMs to load and unload
flexibly and dynamically is a major advantage of this system.

The default setting is On.

1 After entering the administrator ID and password, press U or V

repeatedly until >NetWare > appears.
