Safety instructions  
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of  
safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equip-  
ment, however, there are a few basic precautions that  
should be taken to avoid personal injury or damaging  
the printer:  
Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid  
of any kind into it.  
Make sure that the power source matches the rat-  
ing listed on the back of the printer. If you are not  
sure, check with your dealer or with your local  
power company.  
Read this setup guide carefully and save it for  
future reference.  
This printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety  
feature and will only connect to an earthed outlet.  
If this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet,  
then it is possible that the power outlet is of the  
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to  
have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an  
adapter to defeat the earthing.  
Read and follow all warning and instruction  
labels on the printer itself.  
Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only  
a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol clean-  
ers to clean the printer.  
Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the  
printer is placed on something unsteady, it may  
fall and become damaged or injure someone. If  
the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a  
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked  
causing the printer to overheat.  
To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put  
anything on it or place it where it will be walked  
on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,  
replace it immediately.  
If an extension cable or power strip is being used  
with the printer, make sure that the total of the  
amperage rating required by all the equipment is  
less than the rating of the extension cable or  
power strip. The total ratings of all equipment  
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13  
amperes.  
Do not put the printer on or near a heat source,  
such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of  
direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the  
printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.

The power outlet into which the printer is con-  
nected must remain accessible at all times.  
The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is  
damaged.  
Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces.  
These are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.  
The printer does not function normally when fol-  
lowing the operating instructions.  
Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots  
on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a  
fire.  
Toner cartridge and image drum  
handling  
Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum  
units in their packages until needed. When  
replacing a toner cartridge or image unit, reuse  
the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge  
or image drum unit.  
Aside from the routine maintenance described in  
this user’s guide, do not try to service the printer  
yourself. Opening a cover may expose you to  
shocks or other hazards.  
Do not make any adjustments other than those  
outlined in this users guide as damaged may be  
caused to the printer.  
Do not expose the toner cartridges and image  
drum units to light for more than five minutes.  
Never expose the green drum (inside the image  
drum unit) to direct sunlight.  
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not  
working properly or has been damaged, disconnect the  
printer from the power source and contact your dealer.  
These are some of the things to look for:  
Always hold the image drum unit by the ends -  
never by the middle. Never touch the green drum  
inside the image drum unit.  
The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.  
To avoid damage to the image drum unit, always  
use original toner cartridges.  
Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has  
been exposed to water.  
Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge.  
Do not let it touch your clothing or porous mate-  
rials. The toner powder causes permanent stains.

English  
Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or cloth-  
ing can be readily removed with soap and cold  
water. Using heated water will make removing  
the stain much more difficult.  
Emergency first aid  
IF TONER IS SWALLOWED: Induce vomit-  
ing and seek medical attention. Never attempt to  
induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to a  
person who is unconscious.  
IF TONER IS INHALED: Take the person to  
an open area for fresh air. Seek medical attention.  
IF TONER GETS IN THE EYES: Flush eyes  
with large quantities of cool, NOT cold, water for  
a minimum of 15 minutes keeping eyelids open  
with fingers. Seek medical attention.

Paper  
Avoid using paper with perforations, cut outs and  
ragged edges.  
Paper and envelope types  
The manufacturer of this printer recommends the fol-  
lowing guidelines when selecting paper and envelopes  
for use in your printer:  
Do not use envelopes with windows or metal  
clasps.  
Do not use envelopes with self sealing flaps.  
Avoid using damaged or curled envelopes.  
Paper and envelopes should be stored flat and  
away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat  
sources.  
Transparencies and adhesive labels  
Use a smooth finished paper such as copier or  
laser type paper with a Sheffield (smoothness)  
rating of 250 or less. If in doubt, please ask your  
paper supplier.  
The manufacturer of this printer recommends the fol-  
lowing guidelines when selecting transparencies and  
adhesive labels for use in your printer:  
Use envelopes designed for use in laser type  
printers.  
Always use manual feed.  
Always use rear output.  
The use of heavily laid or textured paper will  
seriously impact on the life of the image drum  
and give poor print quality.  
Media must be designed for use in laser printers  
or photocopiers. Do not use media designed for  
use in colour laser printers and photocopiers.  
Do not use very smooth, shiny/glossy paper.  
Do not use heavily embossed headed paper.  
Must be able to withstand 200°C for 0.1 sec.  
Labels should cover entire carrier sheet.  
Avoid printing on both sides and putting paper  
through the printer twice.  
Carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to  
any part of the printer.

Installing paper  
1. Remove the paper tray from the bottom of the  
printer and place plain paper in the tray, keeping  
the level of the paper in the tray below the guide  
marks (1).  
2. Pull down the manual feed tray (2) and adjust the  
paper guides to the width of the envelope.  
3. Insert the envelope, flap down and to the left,  
until the printer grips it.  
2. Adjust the rear paper support (2) to the size of  
paper being used by lifting up and sliding for-  
wards or backwards as necessary.  
4. Set envelope size and landscape orientation in  
software being used, then issue the print com-  
mand.  
3. Adjust the paper guides (3).  
4. Replace the tray in the printer. The paper level  
indicator (4) provides a visual indication of how  
much paper is left in the tray.  
Print quality adjustments  
The process used to fuse (fix) the printed image to the  
paper involves a mixture of pressure and heat. Too  
much heat will cause lightweight paper to crease or curl  
and corrugations in transparencies. Too little heat will  
cause the image not to fuse fully into heavyweight pa-  
per.  
Printing envelopes  
1. Pull out the rear exit extender (1) until it locks  
and lift out the support bar.

Use the MEDIA TYPE setting in MENU 1 to adjust for  
different thicknesses of paper. The following table  
gives the range of paper weight for each media type.  
3. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the trans-  
parency.  
4. Select manual feed and correct paper size in the  
software package being used.

The normal paper path from a main paper tray to the top  
output stack involves two complete U-turns. This may  
sometimes cause very heavyweight paper or cardstock  
to jam or misfeed.  
Printing transparencies  
When printing transparencies, the manual feed must be  
used and the media type changed to transparencies as  
follows:  
Use the manual feed tray to feed this type of paper and  
the rear paper exit to collect printed output. This gives  
a nearly straight paper path through the machine and  
may prove more reliable in this type of application.  
CAUTION:  
Damage to the printer may occur if the incorrect setting is  
used when printing transparencies.  
1. Select MANUAL FEED option under MEDIA  
TYPE in MENU 1. Then select TRANSPR to  
ensure the correct fusing temperature is set.  
2. Open the manual feed on the printer and place the  
transparency face up between the paper guides.

ing roller with toner. This filling of the image drum res-  
ervoir reduces the number of pages produced from the  
first toner cartridge.  
When to replace toner cartridge  
Replace the toner cartridge after TONER LOW dis-  
plays in the control panel LCD. After TONER LOW  
displays, the printer prints about 100 more pages, then  
displays TONER EMPTY and stops printing. Printing  
resumes after a new toner cartridge has been installed.  
Replacing toner cartridge  
WARNING  
Be careful when handling the toner cartridge. Do not let  
toner spill on your clothing or other porous materials.  
CAUTION:  
The use of original toner or toner cartridges is highly  
recommended. Using compatible or counterfeit toner or  
toner cartridges can seriously damage the printer.  
1. Open the cover and remove the used toner car-  
tridge.  
2. Shake the new toner cartridge to evenly distribute  
toner.  
Toner cartridge life  
How long your toner cartridge lasts depends on the  
print density; the percentage of the page that prints  
black. A typical letter has 3% to 5% print density;  
graphics usually have higher density. Higher print den-  
sity means toner is used up faster. At 5% print density,  
a toner cartridge will print an average of 4000 pages.  
Remember, this is only an average: actual results may  
vary.  
3. Unwrap the new toner cartridge and carefully  
peel off the sealing tape.  
The first toner cartridge installed in a new printer has to  
fill the image drum reservoir and saturate the develop-

Image drum  
When to replace image drum  
Replacing image drum  
When the drum reaches 90% of its life, a CHG DRUM  
message is displayed in the control panel LCD. Change  
the image drum cartridge when the print becomes faint  
or begins to deteriorate.  
CAUTION:  
Never expose the image drum unit to light for more than 5  
minutes. Never expose the image drum unit to direct  
sunlight. Always hold the image drum unit by the ends.  
Never touch the surface of the green drum inside the image  
drum unit.  
Image drum life  
The life of an image drum depends on a number of fac-  
tors, including temperature and humidity, the type of  
paper used, and the number of pages per job.  
1. Open the cover and remove the used image drum.  
2. Remove the new image drum from the package  
and remove the protective sheet (1) from the  
image drum (2).  
The image drum should last about 20,000 pages of A4  
size paper (continuous printing). This number is ap-  
proximate because the environmental conditions and  
the paper type used may vary.  
The first toner cartridge installed in a new image drum  
has to fill the image drum reservoir and saturate the de-  
veloping roller with toner. This filling of the image  
drum reservoir reduces the number of pages produced  
from the first toner cartridge installed in a new image  
drum.

2. Press TRAY TYPE/Print Fonts button for at least  
What is a font?  
two seconds. The LCD shows FONTS HP PCL6.  
A font refers to a set of printable characters in a partic-  
ular typeface of a specific size (e.g. 12 point) and style  
(e.g. roman, bold or bold-italic). In computer printing,  
however, this term has been used in a wider context to  
refer to all sizes and styles of a particular typeface. In  
printers, fonts may be divided into two basic types: bit-  
map fonts and scalable (or outline) fonts.  
3. Press the ENTER button.  
4. After a short delay two pages of font information  
will be printed, including samples.  
Using fonts  
Most Windows programs provide an easy method of  
font selection within documents. In these cases the font  
selection is controlled by the host PC software applica-  
tion (or by Windows itself). On other software plat-  
forms special codes (escape sequences) must be  
embedded with the print data. This topic is beyond the  
scope of this user guide. However, the font list referred  
to above contains a list of the required codes. Use of  
these codes is best left to a professional programmer.  
Bitmap fonts are made up of a pattern of dots (at the  
printer resolution) to form the image of each printable  
character. These are of a fixed size and scaling makes  
them look ragged.  
Scalable fonts are stored as a set of mathematical  
curves. At print time, the printer uses the stored curves  
to make up a bitmap of each character required, at the  
required size in the required style, at the full printer res-  
olution. Such fonts are therefore said to be scalable and  
do not appear ragged at enlarged sizes.  
Symbol sets  
The printer provides special sets of characters for tech-  
nical, legal and foreign language uses, as well as sets of  
drawing and standard alphanumeric characters. Each  
font uses symbols from one or more of these sets.
