• Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been in contact with  
toner out of reach of children.  
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air  
environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.  
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult  
a doctor if necessary.

• When loading OHP transparencies, take care not to load them upside  
down. Doing so may cause a malfunction.  
• It is recommended to place one sheet at a time.  
• Make sure to fan OHP transparencies every time before printing.  
Leaving OHP transparencies loaded in the bypass tray may cause  
them to stick together and result in a misfeed.  
• If multiple OHP transparencies are fed at the same time, load them  
one by one.  
• When printing on OHP transparencies, remove the transparencies one  
by one as they are output.  
• When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load  
them with the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this  
precaution may cause them to stick to the fusing unit and cause  
misfeeds.

Duplex supported size None  
Notes  
• The number of envelopes that can be printed in one minute is approximately half that of plain  
paper.  
• Paper can be loaded only up to the lower of the two paper limit marks of the tray.  
• If printed envelopes come out badly creased, load the envelopes in the opposite direction. Also,  
configure the printer driver to rotate the print object 180 degrees. For details about changing the  
loading orientation, see the printer driver Help.  
• Environmental factors can degrade the print quality on both recommended and non-recommended  
envelopes.  
• If envelopes are severely curled after printing, flatten them by bending them back against the curl.  
• After printing, envelopes sometimes have creases along their long edges and toner smear on their  
unprinted sides. Their print images might also be blurred. When printing large, black-solid areas,  
striping can occur as a result of the envelopes overlapping.  
• To correctly specify the length of an envelope whose flap opens along its short edge, be sure to  
include the open flap when measuring.

Loading Paper  
• The inside of this machine becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled " " (indicating a hot  
surface).  
• Before printing on envelopes, make sure to lower the levers on the printer rear, inside the rear  
cover, to avoid envelopes coming out creased. Also, pull up the levers back to their original  
positions after printing. Leaving the levers lowered can cause print quality problems when printing  
on paper other than envelopes.  
• Avoid using self-adhesive envelopes. They may cause printer malfunctions.  
• Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading.  
• Envelopes whose flaps are open must be printed with the flaps open, and envelopes whose flaps  
are closed must be printed with the flaps closed.  
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.  
• Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the printer) by running a  
pencil or ruler across them.  
• Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or print poorly.  
• Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. Print  
one or two envelopes to check print quality.  
• In a hot and humid environment, the envelope might be output creased or improper printing  
quality.  
• After loading envelopes in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel to  
avoid printing problems. This printer does not detect the paper size automatically.  
1. Open the bypass tray.

• After loading envelopes in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel. Also,  
specify the printer driver's paper setting accordingly before printing.  
• Be sure to load envelopes so that their flaps are on the left. If you do not, the envelopes will  
become creased.  
• If printed envelopes come out badly creased, load the envelopes in the opposite direction, and  
then rotate the print object by 180 degrees using the printer driver before printing. For details, see  
the printer driver Help.

6. Replacing Consumables  
This chapter explains how to replace consumables.  
Replacing the Print Cartridge  
• Do not incinerate toner (new or used) or toner containers. Doing so risks burns. Toner will ignite  
on contact with naked flame.  
• Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers anywhere near naked flames. Doing so  
risks fire and burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.  
• The following explains the warning messages on the plastic bag used in this product's  
packaging.  
• Keep the polythene materials (bags, gloves, etc.) supplied with this machine away from  
babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can result if polythene materials are  
brought into contact with the mouth or nose.  
• Do not crush or squeeze toner containers. Doing so can cause toner spillage, possibly resulting  
in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental ingestion.  
• Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been in contact with  
toner out of reach of children.  
• Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been in contact with  
toner out of reach of children.  
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air  
environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.

6. Replacing Consumables  
• When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your  
clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with cold water.  
Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and make removing the stain impossible.  
• When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your  
skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and  
water.  
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult  
a doctor if necessary.  
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor  
if necessary.  
• The inside of this machine becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled " " (indicating a hot  
surface).  
• Store print cartridge 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. Early replacement of the print cartridge might be necessary.  
Therefore, we recommend you always keep a new print cartridge ready.  
• 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.

7. Cleaning the Printer  
This chapter explains how to clean the printer.  
Cautions to Take When Cleaning  
• Do not remove any covers or screws other than those explicitly mentioned in this manual. Inside  
this machine are high voltage components that are an electric shock hazard and laser  
components that could cause blindness. Contact your sales or service representative if any of the  
machine's internal components require maintenance, adjustment, or repair.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this machine. Doing so risks burns and electric shock.  
Note again that exposure to the laser components inside this machine risks blindness.  
• The inside of this machine becomes very hot. Do not touch the parts labeled " " (indicating a  
hot surface).  
• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around  
the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.  
Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.  
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a soft, wet cloth that is  
wrung out well. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime, use a neutral detergent, and then wipe over  
with a well-wrung wet cloth, dry wipe, and let it dry.  
• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzine  
and thinner, or spray insecticide on the printer.  
• If there is dust or grime inside the printer, 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 metallic objects to fall inside the machine.

7. Cleaning the Printer  
Cleaning the Friction Pad and the Paper Feed  
Roller  
If the friction pad or paper feed roller is dirty, a multi-feed or misfeed might occur. In this case, clean the  
friction pad and paper feed roller as follows:  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the  
machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take  
these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.  
• Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and cause an injury.  
• Do not put your hands inside the machine when the input tray is removed. Some internal parts  
become hot and are a burn hazard.  
• Do not use chemical cleaner or organic solvent such as thinner or benzine.  
1. Turn off the power.  
2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Remove all the cables from the printer.  
3. Pull out tray 1 carefully with both hands.

9. Removing Misfed Paper  
This chapter explains how to remove misfed paper.  
When Paper is Jammed  
If a paper jam occurs, the Alert indicator on the control panel flashes and one of the following messages  
appears on the control panel:  
"Internal Misfeed"  
"Misfeed: Tray 1"  
"Misfeed: Tray 2"  
"Misfd: BypssTray"  
"Misfd: Stnd Tray"  
"Misfd: Dupl Unit"  
Open the front cover, and check the following locations for the paper jam.  
• The inside of this machine becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled " " (indicating a hot  
surface).  
• Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when  
removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns.  
• Misfed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes.  
• Toner on prints made after removing misfed paper may be loose (inadequately fused). Make a few  
test prints until smudges no longer appear.  
• Do not forcefully remove misfed paper, it will tear. Torn pieces remaining inside the printer will  
cause further misfeeds and possibly damage the printer.  
• Paper jams can cause pages to be lost. Check your print job for missing pages and reprint any  
pages that did not print out.  
When "Internal Misfeed", "Misfeed: Tray 1", "Misfeed: Tray 2", or "Misfd: Stnd  
Tray" Appears  
"Internal Misfeed", "Misfeed: Tray 1", "Misfeed: Tray 2", or "Misfd: Stnd Tray" appears when a paper
