    Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only 
    transparencies designed for use in laser 
    printers.
    • Transparencies used in the printer must be able 
    to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. 
    Check your machine’s specification to view the 
    fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
    • Place them on a flat surface after removing 
    them from the printer.
    • Do not leave them in the paper tray for long 
    periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate 
    on them, resulting in spotty printing.
    • To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, 
    handle them carefully.
    • To avoid fading, do not expose printed 
    transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
    • Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, 
    curled, or have any torn edges.
    Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels 
    designed for use in laser printers.
    • When selecting labels, consider the following 
    factors:
    - Adhesives: The adhesive material should be 
    stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing 
    temperature.
    - Arrangement: Only use labels with no 
    exposed backing between them. Labels can 
    peel off sheets that have spaces between the 
    labels, causing serious jams.
    - Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with 
    no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any 
    direction.
    - Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, 
    bubbles, or other indications of separation.
    • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive 
    material between labels. Exposed areas can 
    cause labels to peel off during printing, which 
    can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can 
    also cause damage to printer components.
    • Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer 
    more than once. The adhesive backing is 
    designed for only a single pass through the 
    printer.
    • Do not use labels that are separating from the 
    backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or 
    otherwise damaged.
    Card stock or 
    custom-sized 
    materials• Do not print on print media smaller than 76 mm 
    (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
    • In the software application, set margins at least 
    6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of 
    the material.
    Ty p eGuidelines
    Loading paper
    Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray 
    1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain 
    paper. 
    You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the 
    standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. 
    The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray 
    2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is 
    empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.Preprinted 
    paper• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant 
    ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release 
    hazardous emissions when subjected to the 
    printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. 
    Check your machine’s specification to view the 
    fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
    • Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and 
    should not adversely affect printer rollers.
    • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a 
    moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes 
    during storage.
    • Before you load preprinted paper, such as 
    forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the 
    paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink 
    can come off preprinted paper, reducing print 
    quality.

    Using the tray 1 or the optional tray 2
    Use the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the 
    tray 1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) 
    paper.
    You can purchase an optional tray 2 and attach it below the tray 1 to load 
    an additional 250 sheets of paper.
    To load paper, pull open the tray and load paper with the side to be 
    printed on face down.
    You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top 
    edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray.
    Notes
    • If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet 
    at a time in the manual feed.
    • You can load previously printed paper. The printed side 
    should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you 
    experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. 
    Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.
    Changing the size of the paper in the tray 1
    To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to 
    adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray.

    2Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up. 
    3Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper. 
    Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in 
    a paper jam or skew.
    4When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual 
    Feeder and select the appropriate paper size and type in the 
    software application. See the Software Section. 
    5Print a document.
    6Press the Cancel button.
    The printer picks up the print media and prints.
    7Insert the next sheet into the manual tray and press the Cancel 
    button. 
    Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

    8 Maintenance
    This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the 
    toner cartridge.
    This chapter includes:
    • Cleaning the printer
    • Maintaining the toner cartridge
    • Printing a configuration page
    • Maintenance parts
    Cleaning the printer
    During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can 
    accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality 
    problems, such as toner specks or smearing. 
    Cleaning the outside of the printer
    Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can 
    dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water 
    drip onto or into the printer.
    Notes
    • Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials 
    containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong 
    substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
    • If your machine or its around is contaminated with toner, we 
    recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to 
    clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and 
    might be harmful for you. 
    Cleaning the inside of the printer
    1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer 
    to cool down.
    2Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a 
    clean flat surface.
    3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from 
    the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
    Notes
    • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to 
    light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of 
    paper, if necessary. 
    • Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner 
    cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
    this area.
    Note
    • While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to reach 
    too far into the printer. The fuser area may be hot.

    cartridge and check for dirt or dust.
    5Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the 
    cartridge into the opening in the printer. 
    Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves 
    within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position 
    until it locks into place completely.
    6Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
    7Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.
    Note
    • The long strip of glass is hard to locate.
    Maintaining the toner cartridge  
    Toner cartridge storage
    To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in 
    mind:
    • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for 
    use.
    • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover 
    damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
    • Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
    • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for 
    more than a few minutes.
    Expected cartridge life
    The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print 
    jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the 
    print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be 
    affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and 
    media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the 
    cartridge more often.
    Warning• Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust 
    might ignite when exposed to an open flame.
    • Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer.
    • Dispose of used toner containers in accordance with local 
    regulations.
    • Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place 
    with an open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns of 
    a fire.
    Caution• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner cartridge out of reach 
    of children.
    • If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and 
    move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if 
    necessary.
    • If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush thoroughly with 
    eyewash or water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
    • If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large 
    amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
    • Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a 
    paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact 
    with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and 
    water.
    • If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water 
    will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the 
    stain impossible.

    Redistributing toner cartridge
    When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life span:
    • White streaks and light printing occur.
    • The Status Monitor program window appears on the computer.
    •The Alert LED blinks red.
    If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by 
    redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white 
    streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed 
    the toner.
    1Open the front cover.
    2Pull the toner cartridge out.
    3Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner 
    evenly inside the cartridge. 
    Notes
    • Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fuser area may be 
    hot.
    • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to 
    light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of 
    paper, if necessary. 
    • Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner 
    cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
    this area.
    Note
    • If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and 
    wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
    4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the 
    cartridge into the opening in the printer. 
    Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves 
    within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position
