Page Margins
Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set
custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes
and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may
lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can cus-
tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imagea-

Loading Media
How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx-
imately 200 sheets at a time, fan the
stack to prevent static buildup before
inserting it in a tray.
!"
Do not fan transparencies.
Note
Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of
media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media
type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain
paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may
adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media mis-
feeds.

Duplexing
refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side
of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed
data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check
your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity
to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Duplex (Double-sided) printing can be done automatically with the duplex
option installed and selected.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See
“Media Specifications” on page 42.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, transparencies, or glossy is not
supported.
How do I autoduplex?
You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
successfully duplex the job. If the duplex option is not installed and duplex job
is sent, the control panel will display DUPLEX UNIT NOT ATTACHED.
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
printing.
The following Duplex/Booklet settings are available.
If “Short Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid

This tray has a capacity of approximately 200 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m2
(22 lb) paper.
!"
!"
If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your printer may
experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.
Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to
avoid static buildup.

Media Storage
How do I store media?
! Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it.
Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up
too much and cause misfeeding.
! If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack-
aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
! Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above
35°C [95°F]), and dust.
! Avoid media leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright posi-
tion.
Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.

About Toner Cartridges
Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan.
Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer
or on yourself.
!"
!"
Install only new toner cartridges in your printer. If a used toner car-
tridge is installed, the indicator message will not clear and the supplies
status in the Status Display will not be updated.
The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with
cool water and a mild soap. If you get toner on your clothes, lightly
dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your
clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off.
CAUTION
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water
and consult a doctor.

Keep toner cartridges:
# In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.
# In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).
The maximum storage temperature is 35° C (95° F) and the maximum
storage humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved
from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur,
degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for
about one hour before use.
# Level during handling and storage.
Do not hold, stand or store
cartridges on their ends or turn
them upside down; the toner
inside the cartridges may
become caked or unequally
distributed.
# Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.

Maintaining the Printer
CAUTION
Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any
instructions contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of
the printer’s covers and the interior of the printer body.
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse handling may cause
damage and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the
inside or outside of the printer, printer performance and print quality will suffer,
so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the following guidelines in
mind.
WARNING!
Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface
cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer;
otherwise the printer will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.
CAUTION
The fuser unit is hot. When the top cover is opened, the fuser
unit temperature drops gradually (one hour wait time).
# Be careful when cleaning the inside of the printer or removing media mis-
feeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot.
# Do not place anything on top of the printer.
# Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.
# Never spray cleaning solutions directly on the printer’s surface; the spray
could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the inter-
nal circuits.
# Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain sol-
vents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
# Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small
inconspicuous area of your printer to check the solution’s performance.
# Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning
pads.
# Always close the printer’s covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibra-
tion.
# Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until
it cools down.

Preventing Media Misfeeds
Make sure that...
Media matches the printer specifications.
Media is flat, especially on the leading edge.
The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface.
You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.
You remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to
avoid static buildup.
You always adjust the media guides in Tray 1 after inserting the media (a
guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media mis-
feeds, and printer damage).
You load the media printing-side up in the tray (many manufacturers place an
arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side).
Avoid...
Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking
together).
Fanning transparencies since this causes static.
Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
Overfilling the trays.
Allowing the output tray to overfill (the output tray has a 200-sheet capacity—
misfeeding may occur if you allow more than 200 sheets of media to accumu-
late at one time).
Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

Clearing Media Misfeeds
To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any
piece of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the
media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not reload media that has misfed.
Note
The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you
touch the printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be
careful not to touch the printed face when removing the misfed media.
Make sure not to spill any toner inside the printer.
CAUTION
Unfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on.
If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as
best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not
hot water, to rinse the toner off. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off
with cool water and a mild soap.
CAUTION
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water
and consult a doctor.
If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the control panel
window persists, open and close the printer’s top cover. This should clear the
misfeed message.

first touch a metal part of the printer to avoid an electrostatic charge
building up. When the DIMM is taken out of its conductive bag, hold it
by its edges to avoid touching the electronic circuits. When handling
the DIMM, be sure to place it on an anti-static mat or a piece of
aluminum foil.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)
A dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is a compact circuit board with sur-
face-mount memory chips.
Your printer comes with 64 MB SDRAM printer memory on board. However,
you can upgrade to a maximum of 576 MB of RAM through the installation
of an additional unbuffered SDRAM DIMM. Your printer comes with one free
DIMM slot.

tions (coverage, paper size, etc.), differences in the printing method,
such as continuous printing or intermittent printing (when print jobs of
one page are often printed), or the type of paper used, for example,
thick paper. In addition, the life will be affected by the temperature and
humidity of the operating environment.
