Consumables yield  
Please refer to either the User’s Manual for this information or the packaging of the consumable.

on 64g/m paper, which contains less raw materials and represents a significant resource  
reduction.  
Duplex printing (if applicable)  
Duplex printing enables both sides of a sheet of paper to be used. This saves paper and reduces  
the size of printed documents so that fewer sheets are used. We recommend that this feature is  
enabled whenever you print.  
Toner and ink cartridge return program  
Toner and ink cartridge for recycling will be accepted free of charge from users in accordance with  
local regulations.  
For details about the return program, please refer to the Web page below or consult your service  
person.  
Energy efficiency  
The amount of electricity a machine consumes depends as much on its specifications as it does on  
the way you use it. The machine is designed to allow you to reduce electricity costs by switching to  
Ready mode after it prints the last page. If required, it can immediately print again from this mode.  
If no additional prints are required and a specified period of time passes, the device switches to an  
energy saving mode.  
In these modes, the machine consumes less power (watts). If the machine is to print again, it needs  
a little longer to return from an energy saving mode than from Ready mode.  
For maximum energy savings, we recommend that the default setting for power management is  
used.  
Products that comply with the Energy Star requirement are always energy efficient.  
Note for the Battery and/or Accumulator Symbol (For EU countries only)  
In accordance with the Battery Directive 2006/66/EC Article 20 Information for end-users Annex II,  
the above symbol is printed on batteries and accumulators.  
This symbol means that in the European Union, used batteries and accumulators should be disposed of  
separately from your household waste.  
In the EU, there are separate collection systems for not only used electrical and electronic products but  
also batteries and accumulators.  
Please dispose of them correctly at your local community waste collection/recycling centre.

Replacing the Print Cartridge  
• Store print cartridges in a cool dark place.  
• Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density, number of pages printed  
at a time, paper type and size, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.  
Toner quality degrades over time.  
• For good print quality, the manufacturer recommends that you use genuine toner from the  
manufacturer.  
• The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use  
of parts other than genuine parts from the manufacturer with your office products.  
1. Open the maintenance cover.  
2. Hold the grips of the print cartridge, and then pull it out of the machine.

Cautions When Cleaning  
Cautions When Cleaning  
Clean the machine periodically to maintain high print quality.  
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not sufficient, wipe with a soft, damp cloth that has  
been wrung out thoroughly. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime, use a neutral detergent, wipe  
over the area with a thoroughly-wrung damp cloth, and then dry wipe the area and allow it to dry.  
• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzine  
and thinner, or spray insecticide on the machine.  
• If there is dust or grime inside the machine, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.  
• You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean away any dust and  
grime from the plug and outlet before reconnecting. Accumulated dust and grime pose a fire  
hazard.  
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small objects to fall inside the machine.

Paper Feed Problems  
If the machine is operating but paper will not feed or paper jams occur frequently, check the condition of  
the machine and paper.  
Problem  
Solution  
Paper does not feed smoothly.  
• Load paper correctly, making sure that the paper guides  
• If the paper is curled, straighten the paper.  
• Take out the paper from tray and fan it well. Then,  
reverse the top and bottom of the paper, and put it in the  
tray.  
Paper jams occur frequently.  
• If there are gaps between the paper and the paper  
guides, adjust the paper guides to remove the gaps.  
• Avoid printing on both sides of paper when printing  
images that contain large areas of solid color, which  
consume a lot of toner.  
• Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings on  
the paper guide.  
Multiple sheets of paper are fed at  
one time.  
• Fan the paper well before loading. Also make sure that  
the edges are even by tapping the stack on a flat surface  
such as a desk.  
• Make sure that the paper guides are in the right position.  
• Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings on  
the paper guide.  
• Check that paper was not added while there was still  
some left in the tray.  
Only add paper when there is none left in the tray.

Removing Printing Jams  
First, try removing the paper automatically. If this fails, remove it manually.  
• Jammed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes.  
• Toner on prints made immediately after clearing a paper jam may be insufficiently fused and can  
smudge. Make test prints until smudges no longer appear.  
• Do not forcefully remove jammed paper, as it may tear. Torn pieces remaining inside the machine  
will cause further jams and possibly damage the machine.  
• Paper jams can cause pages to be lost. Check your print job for missing pages and reprint any  
pages that did not print out.  
Automatically removing the paper jammed inside the machine  
1. Open and close the maintenance cover once.  
The machine will then slowly eject the jammed paper. After the jammed paper is ejected, remove it.

Printer Problems  
Problem  
Solution  
An error occurs.  
If an error occurs when printing, change the computer or  
printer driver settings.  
• Check the printer icon name does not exceed 32  
alphanumeric characters. If it does, shorten it.  
• Check whether other applications are operating.  
Close any other applications, as they may be interfering  
with printing. If the problem is not resolved, close  
unneeded processes too.  
• Check that the latest printer driver is being used.  
A print job is canceled.  
• Set I/O Timeout to a larger value than the current  
settings.  
There is considerable delay between  
the print start command and actual  
printing.  
• Processing time depends on data volume. High volume  
data, such as graphics-heavy documents, take longer to  
process. Wait for a while.  
• To speed up printing, reduce the printing resolution using  
the printer driver.  
The whole printout is blurred.  
• Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.  
• If you enable [Toner Save:], printing is generally less  
dense.  
• Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in  
temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only  
after it has acclimatized.
