Toner Cartridges

The standard cyan, magenta, and yellow toner cartridges print approximately 8,500 letter/A4 size pages at 5% coverage while the black cartridge prints approximately 14,000 pages.

Note: Cyan, magenta, and yellow starter cartridges included in the

printer package print approximately 4,200 letter/A4 size pages at 5% coverage while the starter black cartridge prints approximately 7,000 pages.

Quality and reliability of refilled toner cartridges vary; XANTÉ recommends not using them. Printer damage caused by these products is not covered by your printer warranty.

Handling Toner Cartridges

Use these guidelines to ensure maximum life and print quality from your toner cartridges and to prevent cartridge or printer damage:

• Use toner cartridges before their expiration date. Cartridge shelf life is approximately 2 years unopened or 6 months opened.

• Never move the printer with the cartridges installed. Toner spills can damage the printer.

• Keep cartridges away from computer hard disks and monitors. Cartridges contain magnets that can cause data loss or equipment damage.

• Store cartridges right side up, flat on a level surface away from salt air or aerosol gases which can cause corrosion.

• Store an opened cartridge with the orange protective cover reinstalled.

• Dispose of the cartridge following all applicable safety laws and regulations.

Warning! Toner is highly combustible. Never dispose of it by

incineration.

2-8 Installationbb_________________________________________

Redistributing Toner

If your printer does not produce the rich, monochrome and color images that you expect or if the printer has not been used in several days and toner has settled, try redistributing toner in the cartridges.

Remove the cartridge from the printer, shake it gently horizontally to redistribute toner throughout the cartridge. Then, reinstall it following the procedure in the next section.

Removing and Installing a Toner Cartridge

1. Press the printer’s front cover latch and tilt the cover out and down (fig. 2.7).

8. Close the printer’s front cover.

Removing or Installing an OPC Belt Cartridge

The OPC (Organic Photoconductor) belt cartridge usually needs replacing after 120,000 single-sided pages print, depending on job sizes and run lengths.

__________________________________________ Installation 2-11

Caution: Never touch the OPC belt’s surface; only handle the

cartridge by its top handle. Leave the cartridge in its protective package until installation. Touching the belt and exposing it to bright light (over two minutes) may cause permanent damage. If the belt is over exposed to light, there is a chance you may be able to salvage it by placing it in a dark room for several hours.

1. Open the printer’s front cover (fig. 2.7) if necessary. This pulls the toner bays forward, making room for the OPC belt cartridge behind the bays.

Caution: If you do not open the front cover before the OPC

belt cartridge installation, permanent damage may occur to the OPC belt cartridge.

2. Open the printer’s top cover by pulling the top cover latch forward and lifting the cover up and back (fig. 2.13). Then, pivot the OPC guides straight up, toward the front of the printer.

Connecting to the Ethernet Ports

Using the Ethernet port, you can connect to a network using unshielded twisted pair cable.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (10BaseT and 10/100BaseT)

Each device in a network installation using UTP cable must be connected to a hub. The maximum length for a UTP cable connection from device to hub is 328 feet (100 m). Larger networks are formed by linking hubs to repeaters, routers, gateways, or other hubs.

2-24 Installationbb_________________________________________

UTP cable is the wire used in many telephone installations. The connectors used for an Ethernet network using UTP cable are RJ-45 plugs, which are similar to, but larger than ordinary telephone jacks.

Note: You can connect two Ethernet devices, bypassing a hub,

using a 10BaseT crossover/patch cable where pin 1 is crossed to pin 3 and pin 2 is crossed to pin 6. Crossover/ patch cables must be used with blue and white Power Mac G3 and G4 computers and with iMac computers; these computers do not have LocalTalk ports.

To connect your printer to the Ethernet Interface

1. Turn off your host.

2. Plug one end of the UTP cable into the Ethernet port on your printer (fig. 2.29).

Procedures

This section provides instructions for performing special procedures using XANTÉ Command Center and Adobe Downloader.

Color Linearization (Calibration)

Using a densitometer capable of reading dot area and XANTÉ Command Center, you can color calibrate (linearize) your printer’s performance to eliminate color inconsistencies due to resolution and lpi (lines per inch) settings; to replacement of OPC belt and toner cartridges; to different media types; and to environmental conditions.

To linearize your printer’s colors

1. Print a color calibration page either from the printer’s front panel or from XANTÉ Command Center using one of the following procedures:

Note: Always print the calibration page using the same

media and toner as used for final copy.

3-28 Macintosh Setupbb ____________________________________

Fig. 3. 10 Color Calibration Page

a. Front Panel: Select the LPI (lines per inch), resolution , and

screen type (Spot Function) that will be used for final output. Then, select Setup: Utility: Utility Pages: TrueColour Calibrate from the printer’s front panel. A color calibration page prints with patches for all colors (CMYK). Then, open Command Center and select Graphics: Linearization. When the Linearization window appears (fig. 3.11), go to step 2.

_____________________________________ Macintosh Setup 3-29

Fig. 3.11 Linearization Window

b. Command Center: Open Command Center and select

Graphics: Linearization. When the Color Printer Linearization window appears (fig. 3.11), select the LPI, resolution, and screen type settings that will be used for final output. Then, click Print Calibration Page. A color calibration page prints.

Note: You can reset the printer to the factory default

by clicking Reset in the Linearization window.

2. Select the individual color(s) or All in the Linearization Options box, depending on what color(s) will be used in the final output.

3. Click Linearize in the Linearization window (fig. 3.11). A Data Entry window for a selected color appears (fig. 3.12).

Note: Each color has its own Data Entry window. If you select

more than one color, windows appear in sequence, allowing you to enter patch numbers for each color in its corresponding box. For example, if you chose All in step 2, the black data entry window appears first. After you enter the appropriate black patch numbers and click Linearize Black, the data entry window for the next color appears.

4. Measure individual calibration page patches using your densitometer (see your densitometer’s documentation for details).

3-30 Macintosh Setupbb ____________________________________

Fig. 3.12 Data Entry Window

5. Enter the number of the patch whose densitometer measurement most closely matches the corresponding percentage to the right of the Box # field.

For example, when you are reading for 10%, if box number 7 measures 10%, enter 7 under Box # in the 10% line.

Note: If the desired percentage falls between two boxes,

always enter the number of the higher box (round up).

6. Click Linearize Black (or the color you are linearizing). The selected color is calibrated (linearized) and you proceed to the next color, or you return to the Linearization window (fig. 3.11.)

Note: To verify linearization, click Print Verification Page

(fig. 3.13) before you close the Linearization window. When this page prints, measure its patches using your densitometer. Patch measurements should match or just be slightly above the desired percentage. The page’s colors run from 10% at the top to 100% at the bottom for each color row. If measurements are out of range, repeat the linearization process.

_____________________________________ Macintosh Setup 3-31

Fig. 3.13 Verification Page

7. Click OK to close the Linearization window.

Advanced Linearization

Advanced linearization gives you more precise linearization control. The only difference between the regular and advanced linearization process is that you select Advanced Linearization in the Linearization window (fig. 3.11) before clicking Linearize and the Data Entry window that appears (fig. 3.14) has a slightly different layout. Otherwise, the process is the same.
