Use the printer within the specified power range.
AC power: ±10% of the rated power voltage
Frequency: 50/60 Hz (220-240 V) or 60 Hz (110-120 V)
Do not use an extension power cord. Connect the printer power cord directly
to the power socket.
Do not share the same power circuit with other high-power appliances,
particularly an air conditioner, copier, shredder, etc. If it is unavoidable that
you must use the printer with these appliances, we recommend you use a
voltage transformer or a high-frequency noise filter.
Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable.

Plain paper
The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond
paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or
handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before buying to ensure
that it provides acceptable performance. Some important guidelines when
selecting paper are:
☛
☛☛ ☛ 1.Your supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in
a laser printer.
☛
☛☛ ☛ 2.Preprinted papers must use inks that can withstand the printer’s fusing
temperature. (392 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade)
☛
☛☛ ☛ 3.If selecting a cotton bond paper, paper with a rough surface such as cockle
or laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, you may
experience less than optimal performance.
✒ Note
The manufacturer does not warrant the use of any particular paper. The
operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.
