- Never try to modify the machine. This could cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- Always make sure that paper clips, staples or other small metallic items do not get inside the machine via the ventilation ports or other ports. Such items create fire hazards or electric shock hazards.
- Prevent water and any other liquid from spilling on the machine or near to it. Any contact of the machine with water or liquid can cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- If liquid or metallic item gets accidentally inside the machine, turn it off immediately, unplug the power cord and contact your retailer. Otherwise, you would face a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
- In case of heat, smoke, unusual smell or abnormal noise emissions, turn the machine off, unplug the power cord immediately and contact your retailer. Otherwise, you would face a fire hazard or
1 - Installation
an electric shock hazard.
- Avoid using the machine during a thunderstorm, this can cause an electric shock hazard due to lightning.
Paper for printing: if you use paper already printed by your machine or another printer, the printing quality may not be optimal.
Make sure to place the machine in a well ventilated area. When operating, the printer generates a small amount of ozone. An unpleasant smell can come from the printer if it is used intensively in a poorly ventilated area. For a secure use, make sure you place the machine in well ventilated area.

Loading paper

Loading paper in the main unit tray and supplementary paper feed
(1) Paper to be used must be inserted with the face down, and abutting the side and back guides. Not
abutting the paper may cause feed failure, skewing, and paper jams.
(2) Amount of loaded paper must not exceed the loading mark. If the loading mark is exceeded, this
may cause feed failure, skewing, and paper jams. (3) Adding paper to the stack may cause double feeding, and should be avoided. (4) When withdrawing the cassette from the main unit, always support it with both hands.
Pulling the cassette out quickly with one hand, may lead to it being unable to be supported, and being
dropped.

Paper Handling

(1) Paper curling must be corrected before printing. (2) Curls must not exceed 10 mm. (3) Care must be taken with storage to prevent feed faults and image defects due to leaving the paper
in conditions of high humidity.
Adding paper to the pile, or splitting the pile may cause feeding problems, and must be avoided.
1 - Installation
Humidity control
(1) Do not use paper which has become damp, or paper which has been left unused for a very long time. (2) After opening the paper, it must be kept in a plastic bag. (3) Do not use paper with waved ends, paper which is creased, paper with crumples, and any other non-
normal paper.

WLAN network

You can connect your machine to a PC using a USB cable or make a wireless connection (via radio) with a PC or network.
Caution, when you are using a wireless connection, certain medical equipment, and sensitive or security systems, may be affected by the radio transmissions of your device; in all cases, please follow safety guidelines closely.
4 - WLAN network
If you have a WLAN adaptor, you can incorporate your machine as a network printer into a radio network. This works only with an approved adaptor that you can obtain from our ordering department.

across the whole radio network is as fast as the weakest connection in the network. The speed of communication is also dependent on spatial distance between transmitter and receiver, as well as the number of barriers, such as walls or ceilings.

Type of radio network

A radio network or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is created when at least two computers, printers or other peripheral devices communicate with each other in a network via radio waves (high frequency waves). The transmission of data in the radio network is based on the standards 802.11b and 802.11g. According to how the network is set up, it may be described as an infrastructure network or an ad-hoc network.
Radio infrastructure network
In an infrastructure network, several devices communicate via a central access point (a gateway or router). All data is sent to the access point (gateway or router) from where it is re­distributed.

Radio networks (WLAN)

Three steps are necessary to incorprate your machine into a radio network (WLAN):
Configure the network to your PC.
1 2 Set up the parameters for your machine so that
it can function in a network.
3 Having set up the parameters your device,
install the Companion Suite LL software onto your PC with the necessary printer drivers.
The PC and all other devices must have their parameters set up to the same network as the multifunction machine. All the details needed for setting up the device, such as the network names (SSID), type of radio network, WEP key, IP address or subnetwork mask, must match the specifications of the network.
You will find these details on your PC or on the access point.
To find out how to set up the parameters for your PC, please consult the users’ manual for your server. For large networks, please seek the advice of your network administrator.
Radio ad-hoc network
In an ad-hoc network, the devices communicate directly with each other without passing through an access point. The speed of communication

Connect your WLAN adaptor

Your machine belongs to a new generation of terminals that you can incorporate into a WLAN network using a WLAN USB key.
Your machine’s network radio adaptor transmits data using the radio protocol IEEE
802.11g; it can also be incorporated into an existing IEEE 802.11b network.
When connecting to your machine, only use the approved adaptor. Other transmitting or receiving adaptors may damage your device.
Regardless of whether you use your machine in an infrastructure or ad-hoc network, you must set up certain network and security parameters (for example, the Service-Set-ID (SSID) and the WEP key). These must match the network’s specifications.
