Consumables yield
Please refer to either the User’s Manual for this information or the packaging of the consumable.
Recycled paper
The machine can use recycled paper which is produced in accordance with European standard
EN 12281:2002 or DIN 19309. For products using EP printing technology, the machine can print

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.

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.

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.
