Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer
system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating
a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your

wireless devices (which may be embedded your printer) emit less energy than is
allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, the manufacturer
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should
be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device
and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include
extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from
the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also
known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen
or flammable gas-laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the
applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the
wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.
Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a
wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless
device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields
are in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any
way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use
it. Please contact manufacturer for service.

Choosing Paper and Other Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. See “Paper
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
-16~24 lbs (60~90 g/m2) bond for the Tray1 or optional
Tray2
-16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m2) bond for the Multi-Purpose Tray
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the
specifications listed in the paper specification can cause problems
that may require service. This service is not covered by the
warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on or that has
been fed through a photocopier.
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never
overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture
that is too smooth or too rough.
• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a coloured coating that
was added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subject to the printer’s approximately 400°F
(205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place
cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is
packaged or unpackaged.
• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
NOTE: Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. They are
unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off fumes, or
cause damage to the paper.

Selecting the Output Location
The printer has two output locations; the rear output tray and
the top output tray.
Top output tray
Rear output tray
3
To use the top output tray, be sure that the rear output tray is
closed. To use the rear output tray, open it.
NOTES:
• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as
excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray
while the printer is printing.
Printing to the Top Output Tray (Face down)
The top output tray collects paper face-down, in the order in
which it was printed. The top output tray should be used for
most print jobs.
NOTE: If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface,
and especially keep children away from the surface.
USING PRINT MATERIALS 3.5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up)
The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open.
Paper comes out of the printer face-up, and each time a sheet
of paper comes out, it falls down from the printer.
Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear output tray
provides a straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray
might improve the output quality with the following:
• envelopes
• labels
• transparencies
To open the rear output tray:
1
Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions
as the output tray.
CAUTION: The fusing area at the rear portion of the inside of
your printer is hot when powered. Be careful not to be burned
when accessing this area.

Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job
is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and
Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and capacities
for each tray.
The paper level bar on the front of the paper tray(s) shows the

Multi-Purpose Tray
The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of
paper, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You may
also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs
on letterhead, coloured paper for use as separator sheets, or
other special materials that you do not normally keep in the
paper tray. You can load approximately 50 sheets of plain paper,
5 envelopes, 5 transparencies, 5 sheets of card stock or 5 labels
at a time.

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the
Multi-Purpose Tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still
paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. This also applies to other
types of print materials.
• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge
going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and be placed on the
centre of the tray.
• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid
pressing down or applying excessive force on it. The tray may
fall from the printer.

Printing on Labels
Guidelines
• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing
temperature of 205°C (400°F) for 0.1 second.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material
between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel
off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than
once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through
the printer.

Printing on Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed
on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).
Guidelines
• Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400 °F
(205 °C) for 0.1 second.
• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect any printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
3
• Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterhead,
verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing
process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
1
Load letterhead into the tray you want to use, as shown in
the figures below. Adjust the guides to fit the width of the
paper stack.
Load with the design face

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Setting Up a Locally Shared Printer
Locally-Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,
which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer
can then be shared by other users on the network through a
Windows 9x/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000 network printer connection.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,
you need to install the ML-2250 series printer software on each
computer that will print documents to the printer.

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind.
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready
for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes.
Toner cartridge life expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 5,000 pages.
Saving toner
To save toner, press the Cancel button on the printer control
panel for 0.5 second. The button will be lit. You can also enable
the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but
will reduce the print quality.

Redistributing Toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed
page. You may be able to temporarily improve the print quality
by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow
you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner
cartridge.
1
Grasp the front cover and pull it toward you to open.
2
Pull the toner cartridge and remove it from the printer.

CAUTIONS:
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be
hot.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper,
if left exposed for more than a few minutes and keep it in a flat
and clean place.

Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six
times to redistribute the toner.
NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth
and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
4
Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Ensure that the
toner cartridge snaps into place.
5
Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely
closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
If the print remains light after redistributing the toner (see
Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See
Cleaning the Printer
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below
each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality
problems occur.
NOTE: While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to
touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge).
Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
CAUTION: Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with surfactants
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
5
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You
can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to
let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.
Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print
quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning
the inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.
Cleaning inside the printer

Possible Cause and Solution

You need to have administrator privileges to be able to affect
global settings.
I am using the KDE
desktop but the

usually come with most Linux distributions, but you may have

installation manual for more details about installing additional
packages.
I just installed this
package but can’t find
entries in the KDE/Gnome
menus.
Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop environments
may require that you restart your session for the changes to
take effect.
I get a “Some options are
not selected” error
message while editing the
printer settings.
Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that some
settings for two options can’t be selected at the same time.
When you change a setting and the Printer Package detects
such a conflict, the conflicting option is changed to a “No
Choice” value, and you have to choose an option that does
not conflict before being able to submit the changes.
I can’t make a printer the
system default.
In some conditions, it may not be possible to change the
default queue. This happens with some variants of LPRng,
especially on recent RedHat systems that use the “printconf”
database of queues.
When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is automatically
refreshed from the database of printers managed by the
system (usually through the “printtool” command), and the
queues in /etc/printcap.local are appended to the resulting
file. Since the default queue in LPRng is defined as the first
queue in /etc/printcap, it is not possible for the Linux Printer
Package to change the default when some queues have
otherwise been defined using printtool.
6
LPD systems identify the default queue as the one named “lp”.
Thus, if there is already a queue by this name, and if it
doesn’t have any alias, you won’t be able to change the
default. To work around this, you can either delete the queue
or rename it by manually editing the /etc/printcap file.
The N-up setting does not
work correctly for some of
my documents.
The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of the
PostScript data that is being sent to the printing system.
However, such post-processing can only be adequately
achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe
Document Structuting Conventions. Problems may arise when
using N-up and other features relying on post-processing if
the document being printed isn’t compliant.
SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.23

Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
I am using BSD lpr
Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the length
of the option string that can be passed to the printing system.
As such, if you selected a number of different options, the
limitation length of the options may be exceeded and some of
your choices won’t be passed to the programmes responsible
for implementing them. Try to select less options that deviate
from the defaults, to save on memory usage.
(Slackware, Debian, older
distributions) and some
options chosen in LLPR
don’t seem to take effect.
I am trying to print a
document in Landscape
Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape orientation
option in their printing options will generate correct PostScript
mode, but it prints rotated code that should be printed as is. In that case, you need to

make sure that you leave the LLPR option to its default
Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the page that
would result in a cropped output.
Some pages come out all
white (nothing is printed),
and I am using CUPS.
If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10 and before)
have a bug preventing them from being processed correctly.
When going through LLPR to print, the Printer Package will
work around this issue by converting the data to regular
PostScript. However, if your application bypasses LLPR and
feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not print
correctly.
I can’t print to a SMB
(Windows) printer.
To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such as
printers shared on a Windows machine), you need to have a
correct installation of the SAMBA package that enables that
feature. The “smbclient” command should be available and
usable on your system.
My application seems to be Most Unix applications will expect a command like the regular

running.
“lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus return
immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user input before
passing the job on to the print spooler, very often the
application will wait for the process to return, and thus will
appear to be frozen (its windows won’t refresh). This is
normal and the application should resume functioning
correctly after the user exits LLPR.
How do I specify the IP
It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialogue of the
address of my SMB server? configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing system.
Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow one to specify the
IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to
browse the resource with Samba in order to be able to print.
Some documents come out Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with
as white pages when
printing.
Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some known
bugs when processing the PostScript output from some
applications. Try upgrading to the latest version of CUPS (at
least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for most popular
distributions are provided as a convenience with this Linux

About the Remote Control Panel
DOS users have access to many printer features through specific

control when DOS printer drivers are not available or when
certain print settings are not available through DOS software
programmes.
NOTE: The printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a printer driver.
It should be used to set print settings that are not available
through DOS software programmes. Printer drivers are supplied by
the manufacturers of your DOS software programmes. If your DOS
software Programme does not include a printer driver for your
printer, contact the manufacturer of the software or use one of the

Printer and Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environment conditions directly affect the feed
operation.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember
that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense
on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove
most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used,
it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid
weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in
a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess
moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses
and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause
paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can
cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to
large supplies of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained
to ensure optimum printer performance. The optimum condition
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to
55%. The following guidelines should be considered when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it
tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount
of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent
unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a
box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with
less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible
with the heat and pressure of the printer.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size
ranges.
Minimum
Maximum
Multi-Purpose
Tray
76 X 127 mm
(3 X 5 in.)

NOTES:
• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media
with a length less than 127 mm (5.0 in.). This may be caused by
paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For
optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling
the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage
E.8
SPECIFICATIONS
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be
more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Correct
Incorrect
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.
Envelope Margins
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Type of Address
Return address
Minimum
15 mm (0.6 in.)
51 mm (2 in.)
Maximum
51 mm (2 in.)
89 mm (3.5 in.)
Delivery address
NOTES:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm
(0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 3.14.

Labels
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for
laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray to
print labels and always use the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and
never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 °C
(392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
170 °C (338 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies
recommended for use in laser printers.
