Buying and Storing Envelopes

 Use only paper envelopes specified in “Supported Papers” on page 9. Successful envelope

printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.

 It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.  Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness

which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.

 Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.  You may remove air “bubbles” from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book

on top of the envelopes.

Preparing to Print

Follow these guidelines to prevent wrinkling problems:

 Use only Tray 1 (MPT) to print envelopes.  Print only on the front of the envelope.  Perform these steps when using an application that includes a tool for creating an envelope

document:

 Select faceup.  Select the feed method with the image centered.  Clear Clockwise Rotation.  Load a maximum of 10 envelopes at a time. This printer is not designed to handle

high-capacity production envelope printing.

Caution

Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee.

Choosing a Connection

Connections and Networks

Choosing a Connection

Network Connection

Use an Ethernet connection with two twisted-pair (Category 5/RJ-45) cables and an Ethernet hub. Connect the computer to the hub with one cable, then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port. TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet cables. To print using TCP/IP, each computer and printer requires a unique IP address. See “Setting an IP Address.”

Direct Connection

Connect your printer directly to a computer using the USB cable provided or an IEEE 1284 parallel cable. For more information see the Setup Guide that came with your printer. You can also view it on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM.

Setting an IP Address

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.

If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer over Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s IP address.

The printer and computer(s) must have unique IP addresses. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.

Phaser™ 3420 Laser Printer

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Phaser™ 3420 Laser Printer

E–Material Safety Data Sheet (English Only)

This material has been evaluated by Xerox Corporation. The toxicity data noted below is based on test results of similar toners.

Oral LD50: >5 g/kg (rats), practically non-toxic

Dermal LD50: > 5 g/kg (rabbits), practically non-toxic

Inhalation LC50: > 2 mg/l (rats; 4 hour exposure), practically non-toxic

Eye Irritation: Not an irritant

Skin sensitization: Not a sensitizer

Skin irritation: Not an irritant

Human Patch: Non-irritating, non-sensitizing

Mutagenicity: No mutagenicity detected in Ames assay

Carcinogens: None present

Additional Information: The results obtained from a Xerox sponsored Chronic Toner Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung changes in rats for the lowest (1 mg/m3) exposure level (ie., the level most relevant to potential human exposure). A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25% of the animals at the middle (4 mg/m3) exposure level, while a slight degree of fibrosis was noted in all the animals at the highest (16 mg/m3) exposure level. The findings are attributed to “lung overloading”, a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged period. This study was conducted using a special test toner to comply with EPA testing protocol. The test toner was ten times more respirable than commercially available Xerox toner and would not be functionally suitable for Xerox equipment.

SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Aquatic LC50: > 1000 mg/l (fathead minnows); non-toxic

SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

This material is not a RCRA hazardous waste as specified in 40 CFR 261. State and local waste disposal requirements, however, may be more restrictive. Dispose in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Incinerate only in a closed container.
