Operator Safety:
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.

-Small Size Print Area
This printer supports printing on print areas such as “A4 Small” and “Letter

The LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) driver supports printing on both standard and
small print areas. However, with LaserWriter 8.3x (or earlier), the small print
area options are not displayed.
With LaserWriter 8.3x (or earlier), select A4, for example, and click [Options] in
the [Page Setup] dialog box, then use the [Larger Print Area] option. Checking [Larg-
er Print Area] produces the same printing result as LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) stan-
dard A4 print area. Unchecking the [Larger Print Area] produces the same result
as the LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) “A4 Small” print area.

CMYK data.
• Off
No modification to the color setting.
• Vivid
Select this setting to perform CMYK conversion with enhanced saturation
and brightness to print vivid colors.
• Super Vivid
Select this setting to perform CMYK conversion. The colors printed with
this setting are more vivid than those printed with the "Vivid" setting. All
of the colors in the image, especially the lighter ones, are emphasized.
• Fine
Select this setting to perform color matching based on the printer's built-in col-
or rendering dictionaries, and perform CMYK conversion. It makes it possible
to print colors that are close to the displayed colors on the computer screen.
The color rendering dictionaries refer to the contents selected by “Color-
Profile”. This setting is useful when the application and printer driver do
not support the color matching features.
5
Note
❒ The color rendering dictionary that is selected on “ColorProfile“ is used.
• Super Fine
Like the "Fine" setting, the color rendering dictionary is used, however,
output is more vivid. This setting is enabled to make light colors print
more vivid.

dicated on any of the dialog boxes. In this case, this setting is not enabled.
• Photograph
Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of photos and graphics that
include midtones.

and graphics. This CRD is best for printing colored charts, graphs, presen-
tation materials and so on. If you use this CRD for printing photographs,
color gradations might not be reproduced well.

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.

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
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.

❒ 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.
