Safety precautions
Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation:
❏ Because the printer weighs approximately 28 kg (61.7 lb) with consumable products installed,
one person should not lift or carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the
correct positions as shown below.
Safety Instructions 14
AcuLaser C2800 Series User's Guide
❏ Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE, or the
surrounding areas. If the printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be
very hot. If you must touch one of these areas, wait 30 minutes to allow the heat to subside
before doing so.

1. CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE
2. Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit.
❏ Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause
injury.
❏ Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.
❏ Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy,
rough handling can damage it.
❏ When handling an imaging cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.
❏ Do not attempt to modify an imaging cartridge or take it apart. It cannot be refilled.
❏ Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes.
❏ Do not dispose of used imaging cartridge or transfer unit in fire, as they can explode and cause
injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
❏ If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up.
Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do
not use a vacuum cleaner.
❏ Wait at least one hour before using an imaging cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm
environment to prevent damage from condensation.
Safety Instructions 15
AcuLaser C2800 Series User's Guide
❏ When removing the imaging cartridge, do not expose it to sunlight at all and avoid exposing it
to room light for more than five minutes. The imaging cartridge contains a light-sensitive drum
that is purple. Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on
the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If you need to keep the imaging
cartridge out of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth.
❏ Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the imaging cartridge from
the printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from
your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
❏ To get the best print quality, do not store the imaging cartridge in an area subject to direct
sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to
extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
❏ Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of children.
❏ Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause the printer to overheat.
❏ Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.
❏ Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer.

Sharing the Printer on a Network
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly connected to one of them. The
computer that is directly connected to the printer is the print server, and the other computers are
the clients which need permission to share the printer with the print server. The clients share the
printer via the print server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights on the network, perform the
appropriate settings of the print server and clients.
Setting the print server
See “Using an additional driver” on page 94.

Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray, the standard paper cassette unit,
or the optional paper cassette unit.
If you select Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing paper that matches your Paper
Size setting.
If an envelope size (DL, C5, IB5) is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the

Auto Eject Page
Specifies whether or not to eject paper when the limit specified in the Time Out setting is reached.
The default is Off, which means paper is not ejected when the time-out limit is reached.
Size Ignore
If you want to ignore a paper size error, select On. When you turn this item on, the printer keeps
printing even if the image size exceeds the printable area for the specified paper size. This may
cause smudges because of the toner that is not transferred onto the paper properly. When this item
is turned off, the printer stops printing if a paper size error occurs.
Auto Cont
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues printing after a certain period of
time when one of the following errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem Overflow. When
this option is off, you must press the N Start/Stop button to resume printing.
Page Protect
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as opposed to receiving it. You may need to
turn this setting on if you are printing a very complex page. If a Print Overrun error message
appears on the LCD panel during printing, turn this setting on and reprint your data. This reduces
the amount of memory reserved for processing data so your computer may take longer to send the
print job, but it will allow you to print complex jobs. Page Protect usually works best when Auto is
selected. You will need to increase your printer’s memory if memory errors continue to occur.

table. The graphics table contains graphic characters for printing lines, corners, shaded areas,
international characters, Greek characters, and mathematical symbols. If you select Italic, the
upper half of the character table is defined as italic characters.
Country
Use this option to select one of the thirteen international symbol sets. See the Font Guide for samples
of the characters in each country’s symbol set.
Auto CR
Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever
the printing position goes beyond the right margin. If you select Off, the printer does not print any
characters beyond the right margin and does not perform any line wrapping until it receives a
carriage-return character. This function is handled automatically by most applications.
Auto LF
If you select Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed (LF) command with each
carriage-return (CR). If On is selected, a line-feed command is sent with each carriage-return. Select
On if your text lines overlap.
Bit Image
The printer is able to emulate the graphics densities set with the printer commands. If you select
Dark, the bit image density is high, and if you select Light, the bit image density is low.
If you select BarCode, the printer converts bit images to bar codes by automatically filling in any
vertical gaps between dots. This produces unbroken vertical lines that can be read by a bar code
reader. This mode will reduce the size of the image being printed, and may also cause some
distortion when printing bit image graphics.
ZeroChar
Selects whether the printer prints a slashed or unslashed zero.

The printout color differs when printed from different printers
Cause
What to do
Printer driver default settings and color tables vary by
printer model.
Set the Gamma setting to 1.8 in the More Settings dialog box
in the printer driver, then print again. If you still do not get the
printouts you expect, adjust the color using the slide bar for
each color. For details about the More Settings dialog box,
see the printer driver’s online help.
The color looks different from what you see on the computer screen
Cause
What to do
Printed colors do not exactly match the colors on
your monitor, since printers and monitors use different
color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and
blue), while printers typically use CMYK (cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black).
Although it is difficult to match colors perfectly, selecting the
printer driver’s ICM setting (for Windows) or ColorSync setting
(for Macintosh) can improve color matching between
different devices. For details, see the printer driver’s online
help.
For Macintosh, the System Profile setting is not in use.
To apply ColorSync properly, your input device and the
application must support ColorSync, and a System Profile must
be used for your monitor.
PhotoEnhance may be selected in the printer driver.
The PhotoEnhance feature corrects the contrast and
brightness of the original image data, and so may not be
suitable for printing vivid images.
