Plug the cord of your extension phone or answering 
machine into the 
EXT. jack.
UK users should plug the cord of the extension phone into 
the supplied TAM lead and plug the cord of the TAM lead 
into the 
EXT. jack on the back of your machine.
NOTES: 
• Use the TAM lead and the telephone line cord supplied with 
your machine.
• In the United Kingdom, if a three-wire type (SHUNT-wire, 
older equipment) telephone or answering machine is 
connected to the EXT. jack on the machine, the external 
equipment will fail to ring when receiving an incoming call as 
the machine is designed to operate with the latest 
technology. To prevent this incompatibility, use two-wire 
(newer equipment) telephones or answering machines.

2Connect a USB cable to the USB connector on your 
machine. You need to buy a USB 1.1 compliant cable that 
is within 3 m in length.
If you want to use a parallel printer cable, purchase only 
an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable and connect it to 
the parallel connector on your machine.
Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the 
cable plug.
NOTES:
• You only need to connect one of the cables mentioned 
above. Do not use the parallel and the USB cables at the 
same time.
• If you are using a USB cable, you must be running Windows 
98/Me/2000/XP, Macintosh 10.3, or Linux.

							Paper Handling
3.1
3Paper Handling
This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print 
materials and loading them into your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting Print Materials
•Loading Paper
• Verifying an Output Location
Selecting Print Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain 
paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print 
materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. 
See ?$paratext>? on page 10.3. To get the best possible print 
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the 
paper adjusters of the tray.
• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m
2 bond) for the tray with 
multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m2 
bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page 
feeding.
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and 
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper 
affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
CAUTION: Using print materials that dose not conform to the 
specifications listed on page 10.2 may cause problems that 
may require service. This service is not covered by the 
warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special 
Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special 
material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with 
the specifications listed under ?$paratext>? on 
page 10.3.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn 
paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print 
quality. 
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a 
texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may 
occur.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to 
use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. 
Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether 
it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from 
moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle 
or curl.
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 
oC 
and 30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should 
be between 10 % and 70 %.
• During storage, you should use a moisture-proof wrap, 
such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and 
moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the 
manual tray or the tray to avoid paper jams.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in 
laser printers.
• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and 
label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they 
print out.
•For envelopes:
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well 
creased folds.
Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. 
Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they 
are undamaged and are not stuck together. 
Do not feed stamped envelopes.
• For transparencies:
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the 
machine.
Do not leave them in the 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.
Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser 
printers.
Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or 
have any torn edges.
• For labels:
Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing 
temperature of 200 oC (392 o F) for 0.1 second.
Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material 
between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off 
during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed 
adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.
Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more 
than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass 
through the machine.
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing 
sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.
Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:
Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other 
custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer. 
The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the 
maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)
Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you 
want to print in landscape mode, make this selection 
through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first 
may cause a paper jam.
Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or 
5 in. (127 mm) long.
• For preprinted paper:
Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that 
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions 
when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 
200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.
Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not 
adversely affect any printer rollers.
Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-
proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
Before you load preprinted paper as forms and 
letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During 
the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
•Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of 
these types of paper could result in chemical smells and 
could damage your machine.
