European Radio Approval Information
(for products fitted with EU-approved radio devices)
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz band, may be 
present (embedded) in your printer system which is intended for home or office use. This section is only applicable if these devices are 
present. Refer to the system label to verify the presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the European Union or associated areas if a CE mark with  a 
Notified Body Registration Number and the Alert Symbol is on the system label.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in you printer is well below the RF exposure limits as set by the 
European Commission through the R&TTE directive.
European States qualified under wireless approvals:
EU Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (with frequency restrictions), 
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, 
Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the U.K.
EEA/EFTA countriesIceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland
European States with restrictions on use:
EUIn France, the frequency range is restricted to 2446.5-2483.5 MHz for devices above 10 mW transmitting power 
such as wireless
EEA/EFTA countriesNo limitations at this time.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be 
present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The 
wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If 
the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices 
are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this 
time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety 
standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken 
to minimize human contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body 
(this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are 
on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless 
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices 
are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless 
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use 
of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, 
ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling 
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of 
a wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are 
in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use 
it. Contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact 
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up the machine.
This chapter includes:
• Setting up the hardware
• Printing a demo page
• System requirements
• Setting up the network• Using a wired network
• Using a wireless network(windows/CLP-310W, CLP-315W only)
• Using a wireless network(CLP-310W, CLP-315W only)
• Machines basic settings
SETTING UP THE HARDWARE
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained in 
the Quick Install Guide. Make sure you read Quick Install Guide and 
complete following steps.
1.Select a stable location. 
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow 
extra space to open covers and trays. 
The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or 
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the 
edge of your desk or table.
 
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the 
altitude setting to optimize your printing. See Altitude adjustment on 
page 30 for more information.
Place the machine on a flat and stable surface, not letting it lean more 
than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise, it may affect the printing quality. 
2.Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3.Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.
4.Load paper. (See Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray on 
page 34.)5.Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine. 
6.Turn the machine on. 
PRINTING A DEMO PAGE
Print a demo page to make sure that the machine is operating correctly.
To print a demo page:
In ready mode, press and hold the Stop button for about 2 seconds.
When you move the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. 
Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, 
which can cause damage to the machine or bad print quality.
This equipment will be inoperable when mains power fails.
