You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.

Each media size has a specific image-
able area, the maximum area on which
the printer can print clearly and without
distortion.
Printable
Area
This area is subject to both hardware
limits (the physical media size and the
margins required by the printer) and
software constraints (the amount of
a
a = 4 mm (0.157")
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable
(printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0.157") from

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
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.

Duplexing
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 (2-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done automatically
with the duplex option installed and selected.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb) can be autoduplexed. See
“Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported sizes.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, postcards, thick stock, or transparencies
is not supported.
How do I autoduplex?
You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
have the job duplex successfully. If the duplex option is not installed and
duplex job is sent, the control panel will display DUPLEX UNIT NOT
ATTACHED.

printing.

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 leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright position.
Before using stored media, do a trial printing 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.
ꢀ"
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.

Note
Do not hold a toner cartridge
vertically.
Do not touch the OPC drum
surface. This could lower image
quality.
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 storage.
Do not 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 may cause damage
and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or out-
side 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 right side 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 solution 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.

„ Do not leave the printer’s covers open for any length of time, especially in
well-lit places; light may damage the toner cartridges.
„ Do not open the printer during printing.
„ Do not tap media stacks on the printer.
„ Do not lubricate or disassemble the printer.
„ Do not tilt the printer.
„ Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so may
damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate.
„ Keep media in the output tray at a minimum level. If the media is stocked
too high, your printer may experience media misfeeds and excessive
media curl.
„ Make sure two people are avail-
able to lift the printer when mov-
ing it.
Keep the printer level to avoid
toner spillage.
„ When lifting the printer, grasp
the areas shown in the figure to
the right.

Introduction

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 the tray 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 250-sheet capacity—
misfeeding may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 250
sheets 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
pieces 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 print 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 covers. This should clear the
misfeed message.
