This machine is considered a CDRH class 1 laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine con-  
tains 5-milliwatt, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye  
contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mech-  
anisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.  
Laser Safety:  
The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment.  
The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is  
not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser sub-  
systems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.

Safety Information  
When using your equipment, the following safety precautions should always be  
followed.  
Safety During Operation  
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:  
R WARNING:  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are  
not followed, could result in death or serious injury.  
R CAUTION:  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not fol-  
lowed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.  
R WARNING:  
Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex-  
tension cord.  
Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible,  
so that in event of an emergency, it can be unplugged easily.  
Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the  
power cable or plug becomes frayed or damaged.  
To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not  
remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this man-  
ual.  
Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug,  
not the cable) if any of the following conditions exist:  
You spill something into the equipment.  
You suspect that your equipment needs service or repair.  
Your equipment's cover has been damaged.  
Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable  
and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.  
Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or appropriate col-  
lection site.  
If you dispose of the used toner containers yourself, dispose of them  
according to local regulations.

Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside  
the equipment.  
Do not eat or swallow toner.  
Keep toner (used or unused) and toner cartridge out of reach of children.  
For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the equipment or expended  
supplies at a household waste collection point. Disposal should take place  
at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site.  
Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and  
functionality. When purchasing expendable supplies, we recommend using  
only those specified by an authorized dealer.  
The inside of the machine becomes very hot. Do not touch the parts with a  
label indicating a “hot surface”. Touching a “hot surface” could result in a  
burn injury.  
If you use this printer in a cold area, leave the printer on. Otherwise, severe

top, and bottom print margins, to at least 20 mm (0.8") each.  
Do not print on both sides of envelopes.  
Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.  
Before loading envelopes, flatten the leading edges (sides being fed into  
the printer) of them by running a pencil or ruler across them.

velope have different thickness. Print one or two envelopes to check the  
print quality.

Administering Printing by User Code  
This printer keeps a record of the number of pages printed under each User  
Code set in the printer driver. Using eight digit codes allows you to keep a  
record of the number of prints made under each User Code for three types of  
printing. These are "Black" (black and white), "Two-color" (two colors or less ex-  
cluding black and white) and "Full Color" (three or four colors). By assigning  
User Codes to each department or user in the office, for example, you can keep  
track of the number of pages printed by each department or user. Up to 100 User  
Codes can be used.  
Important  
If you reinstall the printer driver, reinstall all User Codes.  
With Windows 95/98/Me, you can only change User Codes after reinstalling  
the printer driver.  
With Windows 95/98/Me, if the printer name is changed after installing the  
printer driver, User Codes will be cancelled.  
5
Note  
With Windows 95/98/Me, set User Codes during the IPDL-C printer driver  
installation.  
With Windows 2000, set User Codes on the [Statistics Code] tab of the Printer  
Properties after installing the IPDL-C printer driver.  
With Windows NT 4.0, set User Codes on the [Statistics Code] tab of the Printer  
Properties after installing the IPDL-C printer driver.  
You can view the contents of a statistics report with PRINTER MANAGER  
FOR ADMINISTRATOR.  
Using PRINTER MANAGER FOR ADMINISTRATOR, you can save the re-

Using the Job Log  
This printer records a job log which shows the time of each print job, the number  
of pages, and the current print status of each job. The job log also shows a User  
ID for each job, making it easy to find the job in the log.  
You can set up a User ID using eight characters or less. This can help you distin-  
guish your jobs from jobs of people who share the same User Code.  
Note  
Set up a User ID with the printer driver when you print.  
You can change the User ID every time you print.  
You can also browse the job log on the computer using PRINTER MANAGER  
FOR ADMINISTRATOR/CLIENT.  
Turning off the power or resetting the printer deletes the job log.  
Limitation  
5
Up to 64 User IDs are available at the same time. If the number of IDs exceeds  
64, the oldest is deleted.

Color Guide  
Color Printing Basics  
Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models  
All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB  
model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model  
produces white.  
red  
green  
blue  
Note  
RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer  
screen are produced by varying the intensities of RGB.  
Printed color is a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow, which is normally called  
the CMY color model. When mixed in equal proportions the CMY color model  
produces black.  
yellow  
magenta  
cyan  
Note  
CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color. The printer uses CMY toner  
plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing.  
111

Appendix  
The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta,  
and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are  
mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces  
cyan, for example). The remaining color is the complement of the color pro-  
duced (red in this example). Complementary colors are: red and cyan, green and  
magenta, blue and yellow.  
red  
yellow  
magenta  
green  
blue  
cyan  
Printed Color  
The printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta,  
yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model.  
6
Note  
Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pure black,  
but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce  
a muddy or dark brown. Black toner is added to the color model in order to  
make it possible to produce pure black.

Moving and Transporting the Printer  
Moving and Transporting the Printer  
R CAUTION:  
It is recommended that at least two persons are used to lift the printer. Oth-  
erwise, the printer might fall and cause personal injury.  
When lifting the machine, use the grips on both sides. The machine could  
break or cause an injury if dropped.  
Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the  
cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs or  
cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard.  
When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damaging  
the cord and causing a fire or an electric shock.  
When moving the printer, be sure to keep it level to avoid spilling the fuser  
oil. If oil is spilt, wipe it with alkaline cleaner. Otherwise, the oily surfaces  
can create the danger of slipping and personal injury.  
Important  
Be sure to disconnect all cables from the printer before transporting it.

The actual number of pages you can print with a particular toner cartridge  
depends on the type and size of paper you are using, the contents of your  
print images, and printing environment conditions. The life of a toner car-  
tridge also shortens as the cartridge becomes older. All this means that a  
toner cartridge might require replacement sooner than the normal life de-  
scribed above.
