Safety Precautions  
After installing the High Capacity Feeder, lock down the brakes on the casters at the front of  
the High Capacity Feeder. Failure to lock down the brakes can cause the printer to move  
unexpectedly, resulting in injury.  
Other Precautions  
Operate the printer in a location that meets the following conditions:  
Ambient temperature range of 10 to 32°C, relative humidity of 15 to 85% (no condensation)  
If operating the printer with an ambient temperature of 32°C, the relative humidity should  
not exceed 65%. If the relative humidity reaches 85%, the ambient temperature should not  
exceed 28°C.  
NOTE:  
Do not place the printer in a room where there are sudden fluctuations in temperature, and do  
not move the printer from a cold place to a warm humid place. If you do, condensation may  
occur within the printer and print quality deteriorate.  
Do not place the printer in direct sunlight, as this may damage the printer.  
To prevent trays or consumables from falling out, do not tilt the printer more than 10 degrees  
in any direction.  
When moving the printer, remove the toner cartridges. Do not reuse toner cartridges once  
you have removed them from the printer. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and deterio-  
rate print quality.  
Do not place the printer directly next to an air conditioner or heater, as this affects the tem-  
perature inside the printer and can cause damage.  
Precautions for Power and Earth Connections  
Three power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your printer  
depend on its configuration. Connect the power plug only to a properly rated power outlet.  
Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shocks. If in doubt, contact your Genicom Customer  
Support Center.  
Rated voltage:100 V  
Rated frequency:50/60 Hz  
Rated voltage:110-127 V  
Rated frequency:60 Hz  
Rated voltage:220-240 V  
Rated frequency:50/60 Hz  
Ensure that the plug connection is dustless. In a damp environment, a contaminated con-  
nector can draw a non-negligible amount of current that can generate heat and eventually  
cause fire over an extended period of time.

GENICOM Intelliprint cL160 User Guide  
Safety Precautions  
Always use the power cord provided with your printer. When an extension power cord is  
required, always use a properly rated cord.  
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the printer or plug may emit smoke or  
become hot to the touch.  
Do not attempt to modify, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not  
place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.  
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. This constitutes an electric shock hazard.  
Stop operation immediately if your printer emits smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise or  
smell, or if water is spilt onto the printer. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately turn  
off and unplug the printer, and contact your Genicom Customer Support Center.  
To prevent fire or electric shocks, follow the instructions below based on your printer's con-  
figuration. If in doubt, contact your Genicom Customer Support Center.  
If your printer is a 100 or 110 V model, use the green earth wire bundled with the power  
cord, located at the back of the printer.  
The earth wire must be connected to one of the following conductors:  
Earth terminal of the specified power outlet  
A piece of copper buried in the earth 650 mm or deeper  
A Class D* earth terminal  
* Class D is the regulation for Japan only.  
Never connect the earth wire to any of the following:  
Gas pipes, which can be ignited and explode  
Telephone line earth wires or lightning rods, which can draw an excessive electric current  
if hit by lightning  
Water faucets or pipes whose electrical conductivity is broken by a non-metallic part  
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask your Genicom Customer  
Support Center for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.  
Cautions  
Do not unplug or replug the printer while it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform  
the plug and cause fire.  
When unplugging the printer, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord  
can damage it and cause fire or electric shocks.

an unused printer is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation  
can cause electric shocks, current leakages, or fire.  
Switch off the printer before connecting the interface cable or options. Connecting the cable  
or card with a live printer can cause electric shocks.  
Other Precautions  
This printer may interfere with radio or television reception, causing flickering or distortion.  
This can be determined by turning the printer off and on. To correct interference, perform  
one, or a combination of the following procedures:  
Move the printer away from TV and/or radio.  
Reposition the printer, TV and/or radio.  
If the printer, TV and/or radio are plugged into the same outlet, unplug them, then plug  
them into different outlets.  
Reposition the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For  
external antennas, consult your local electrician.  
Use coaxial cable with the antennas  
Operating Precautions  
Do not place any liquid containers such as vases or coffee cups on the printer.  
Liquids spilt on the printer constitue a fire and electrical shock hazard.  
Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the printer. If metal and flammable  
parts get into the printer, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or elec-  
tric shocks.  
If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the printer, turn off and unplug the printer. Contact  
your Genicom Customer Support Center. Operating a debris-contaminated printer can  
cause fire or electric shocks.

Positioning the Printer  
About this Chapter  
This chapter describes how to select an appropriate installation location, what accessories are pro-  
vided with the printer, and the installation procedures required once you have chosen a location for  
your printer.  
Positioning the Printer  
For safe and convenient printer operation, take time to read the information in this section when  
deciding where to place your printer.  
Installation Environment  
Place the printer in a location that meets the following conditions:  
Level and stable surface.

Selecting Print Media  
Paper Handling  
Using paper that is unsuitable for printing can cause paper jams and deteriorate print quality. We  
recommend using the types of paper listed below to obtain the best results from your printer.  
Selecting Print Media  
Your printer can print on a variety of media, including plain paper, labels, transparencies, and enve-  
lopes. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with this printer. Print media that is  
not recommended for use with this printer may cause frequent paper jams or poor print quality.  
NOTE:  
Expect a slight reduction in image quality when you print on envelopes, labels, transparencies,  
or postcards.  
Specialty Paper  
In addition to plain paper, you can use the following types of specialty paper.  
Transparency sheets (for monochrome printing only)  
Label sheets (uncut)  
Envelopes  
Postcards  
2
Cardboard (max. density 216 g/m )  
Coated paper  
Glossy paper  
When printing on rigid cardboard, the image position may shift.  
When printing on coated or glossy paper, feed the sheets one at a time. Moisture can  
cause the sheets to stick together causing more than one sheet to be fed, which can result  
in malfunction or damage.  
Do not use envelopes that have a tape seals on the adhesive of the flap. You can use  
pre-glued envelopes if the adhesive on the flap is dry.  
Using postcards that have already been printed to on one side and are warped can cause  
paper jams. Flatten warped postcards with your hands before loading them. We do not  
recommend printing on multicolored postcards.

NOTE:  
When printing on long paper, pull out the tray extension. Printing long paper with the tray  
extension retracted can cause the paper to fall out or make feeding impossible.  
3. When using media such as transparency sheets, label sheets, or envelopes, fan the stack before  
loading so that there is air between the sheets.  
NOTE:  
Fanning the stack helps prevent paper jams caused when more than one sheet feeds at the  
same time.  
NOTE:  
Do not fan plain paper before loading.  
If the paper is poorly cut and the edges are not clean, remove any unsuitable sheets before  
loading the paper.  
When printing on coated or glossy paper, feed the sheets one at a time. Moisture can cause the  
sheets to stick together causing more than one sheet to be fed, which can result in malfunction  
or damage.  
4. Align the four corners of the paper stack and insert it (print side down) until it lightly touches  
the feeding slot.

NOTE:  
Do not use paper that is folded, creased, or heavily warped.  
Do not overload the paper tray.  
When printing on sheets longer than Legal portrait (355.6mm), load the sheets one at a time,  
and support the sheet with your hands to ensure proper feeding.  
5. When loading paper, carefully align the paper guides with the edges of the paper so that there  
is a small gap between the paper stack and the guides. Pushing the paper guides too hard  
against the edge of the paper stack can warp the paper and cause paper jams.  
Load the paper so that it is straight in the tray.  
NOTE:  
If the paper is not loaded correctly, the printing position may shift and cause incorrect printing.  
Loading Transparency Sheets in the Multi Purpose Tray  
Feed transparency sheets from the multi purpose tray. Use only monochrome transparency sheets.  
NOTE:  
Use only the recommended types of transparency sheet. Do not use any other types, such as  
color transparency sheets (bordered by a white frame).  
NOTE:  
Remove each transparency sheet from the face down tray as soon as it is ejected. If  
transparency sheets are allowed to accumulate in the face down tray, static electricity can build  
up and cause a jam.

NOTE:  
When printing on the back of pre-printed postcards, make sure the postcards are not bent. Even  
slightly bent postcards can cause paper jams. Flatten bent postcards by hand before loading  
them. We do not recommend printing on multicolored postcards.  
Loading Envelopes in the Multi Purpose Tray  
Feed envelopes from the Multi Purpose Tray. Open the envelope flaps before feeding and load them  
as illustrated below.  
NOTE:  
Do not use envelopes that have tape seals. When using envelopes with an adhesive seal, make  
sure that the adhesive is dry. Do not use envelopes larger than 3.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches  
long (88.9 mm wide and 139.7 mm long).  
Load the envelopes with the flap pointing outward.  
Using poor quality envelopes can cause creasing and deteriorate print quality.

Transporting the Printer  
Before transporting the printer by car or truck over long distances, follow the procedure below to  
prevent strong vibrations from damaging the printer.  
CAUTION:  
Because the printer weighs 80 lbs. (34.5 kg) fully assembled, make sure that at least two peo-  
ple carry it.  
To lift the printer, face the front and back of the printer and grip the recessed areas at the bot-  
tom left and right with both hands. Never try to lift the printer by gripping any other areas. Lift-  
ing the printer by gripping other areas can cause the printer to fall, resulting in injury.  
Bend your knees when lifting the printer to avoid back injuries.  
There is danger of the printer falling.  
NOTE:  
When carrying the printer, keep it level to prevent trays or consumables from falling out. Do not  
tilt it more than 10 degrees in any direction.  
Do not remove the toner cartridges before moving the printer. Toner may spill inside the printer  
and damage it.  
When the optional High Capacity Feeder (2 shelves) is installed, remove it before transporting  
the printer. If the High Capacity Feeder is not removed, it may fall, resulting in damage or injury.  
To remove the High Capacity Feeder, refer to chapter ”Chapter 6 Options”.”

NOTE:  
1: These faults are not necessarily hard faults. They only become hard faults when an attempt is  
made to use the “faulted” device. For these errors, the printing can continue if one simply  
avoids the problem. For instance, “tray trouble” faults usually indicate that the tray in question  
has been removed. These errors are only treated as faults when there is no alternative action to  
take. Your printer may be configured so that the problem is easily avoided. When the problem  
cannot be avoided, the described faults will be displayed.  
2: The Communications Error indicates an error that requires a service call. However, before  
arranging for a service call, ensure that all associated cabling is correctly installed.

contact your dealer or Technical Support.  
The network interface boots but does  
not try to load the Flash ROM code  
Briefly press the Test button on the network  
interface’s I/O panel. A network interface  
configuration page will be printed. (To press the Test  
button, you will need a pointed object - e.g. paper  
clip.)

Ethernet Network Interface Troubleshooting  
Printing Problems  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
Physical connection  
To test a non-PostScript printer use the Test Port 1  
Count 100 command. This command will send 100  
lines of test data to the printer.  
Service characteristics  
Use the Show Service Local Characteristics  
command from a network login to see if the desired  
service is available and to verify that the appropriate  
protocols are enabled on the service.  
The IP address  
The IP address must be unique on the network. Many  
problems will occur when there are duplicate IP  
addresses on the network.  
Queue Status and Port counters  
Use the Monitor Queue command to ensure queue  
entries appear in the job list. If an entry does not  
appear, refer to the appropriate host section in this  
Appendix.  
Use the Monitor Port n Counters command to  
verify that the counter is incrementing with each job.  
If it is not, verify the connection between the network  
interface and the printer.  
BOOTP Troubleshooting  
If the BOOTP request is failing and you have configured your host to respond to the request, check  
these areas:  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
BOOTP is in your system’s  
/etc/services file  
BOOTP must be an uncommented line in the /etc/  
services file.  
The network interface’s name is  
in the loadhost’s  
The network interface’s name must be in this file for the  
host to answer a BOOTP or TFTP request.  
/etc/hosts file  
The download file is in the  
correct directory and is  
world-readable  
The download file must be in the correct directory and  
world-readable. Specify the complete pathname for the  
download file in the BOOTP configuration file or, a add a  
default pathname to the download filename.  
The network interface and host  
are in the same IP network  
Some hosts will not allow BOOTP replies across IP  
networks. Either use a host running a different operating  
system or put the network interface in the same IP  
network as the host.

DHCP Troubleshooting  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
DHCP is enabled on the network  
interface.  
Use the Define Server DHCP Enabled  
command.  
If you manually enter an IP address, DHCP is  
automatically disabled.  
Make sure the DHCP server is  
operational.  
Check to see that the DHCP server is on and is  
functioning correctly.  
Did the network interface get its IP  
address from the DHCP server?  
Refer to the DHCP Manager on your Windows  
DHCP server for information about addresses  
currently in use. If the DHCP server does not list  
your network interface’s IP address, there many be  
a problem.  
RARP Troubleshooting  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
The network interface’s name and  
hardware address in the host’s /  
etc/ethers file  
The network interface’s name and hardware  
address must be in this file for the host to answer a  
RARP request.  
The network interface’s name and  
IP address in the /etc/hosts file  
The network interface’s name and IP address must  
be in this file for the host to answer a RARP  
request.  
The operating system  
Many operating systems do not start a RARP  
server at boot time. Check the host’s RARPD  
documentation for details, or use the ps command  
to see if there is a RARPD process running.  
PostScript Problems  
PostScript printers will silently abort jobs if they detect an error.  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
The network interface is  
communicating with the  
printer  
To test a PostScript printer use the Test Port 1 PostScript  
Count 2. This command will send 2 pages of PostScript  
data out the parallel port. Watch the indicators on the printer  
to verify that the network interface is communicating with  
the printer.  
If the printer is capable of bidirectional communication, use  
the Test Service PRQLPSEPS_xxxxxx_PS PostScript  
Count 5 command. This will transfer data both to and from  
the printer. Autoselection must be disabled and the printer  
must be configured as a PostScript printer for this test to  
succeed.

GENICOM Intelliprint cL160 User Guide 3-17  
Ethernet Network Interface Troubleshooting  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
Service Characteristics  
Issue the Show Service Characteristics command. If  
the service rating is zero, the parallel port is in use.  
Verify that the PostScript characteristic and  
appropriate protocols have been enabled on the  
service.  
Port Counters  
If PostScript jobs appear to print but nothing comes  
out of the printer, verify the amount of data sent from  
the host. Issue the appropriate print command from the  
host system. After the job has completed, use the  
Show Port 1 Counters command.  
Bitmap Graphics  
If files that contain embedded bitmap graphics print incorrectly, it is because the bitmaps are being  
sent as actual binary data and binary data cannot be printed via serial or parallel interfaces.  
Most major application packages have provisions to print using either “binary postscript” (for  
printers connected to the network via LocalTalk) or “hex postscript” (for printers connected to the  
network via a serial port or parallel port). If your application does not have this provision, ask the  
application vendor for an upgrade version or “patch” that will add the “hex postscript” function.  
Technical Support  
If you are experiencing an error that is not listed in this chapter, or if you are unable to fix the error,  
contact your point of purchase or Technical Support as listed in Appendix A.  
When you report a problem, please provide the following information:  
Your name, and your company name, address, and phone number  
Printer model number  
Printer serial number  
Software version (use the Show Server command to display)  
Network configuration, including the information from a Netstat command

Consumables Overview  
About this Chapter  
This chapter provides information about the expendables used with the printer, and also describes  
handling and replacement procedures.  
Consumables Overview  
The following consumables are provided with the printer. For replacements, contact your Genicom  
dealer.  
Toner Cartridges  
The printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow magenta, and cyan. When the toner supply in  
a cartridge begins to run out, an error message appears. At this stage, confirm that you have a  
replacement toner cartridge available. Replace toner cartridges as soon as the message prompting  
you to do so appears. The printer stops operating if you do not replace the toner cartridge when  
required.  
NOTE:  
For more information about toner cartridges, refer to Toner Cartridges“ on page 5-4.  
Drum Cartridge  
The drum cartridge is composed of a light-sensitive drum, a developer and a transfer roller. Images  
are initially created as an electrical charge on the surface of this drum. When the drum cartridge  
reaches the end of its life span, print quality begins to deteriorate. Replace the drum cartridge at  
this stage.  
NOTE:  
For more information about the drum cartridge, refer to “Drum Cartridge“ on page 5-8.

Consumables Overview  
Transfer Roller Cartridge  
The transfer roller cartridge is composed of a transfer roller and a waste toner collection box. Usu-  
ally, the transfer roller cartridge needs to be replaced after printing about 20,000 sheets. However,  
this figure varies depending on the content of the material printed, as well as the size and type of  
paper used. Replace the transfer roller cartridge as soon as the message prompting you to do so  
appears. The printer stops operating if you do not replace the transfer roller cartridge when  
required.  
NOTE:  
For more information about the transfer roller cartridge, refer to “Transfer Roller Cartridge“ on  
Fuser Unit  
The fuser unit fixes the toner to the paper. Usually, the fuser unit needs to be replaced after printing  
about 100,000 sheets. However, this figure varies depending on the content the material printed, as  
well as the size and type of paper used.  
NOTE:  
For more information about the fuser unit, refer to “Fuser Unit“ on page 5-16.

Paper Feed Roller  
The paper feed roller feeds paper from the paper tray into the printer. Usually, the paper feed roller  
needs to be replaced after printing about 100,000 sheets. However, this figure varies depending on  
the size and type of paper used. When the paper feed roller deteriorates, paper may not feed cor-  
rectly from the paper tray, resulting in paper jams.  
NOTE:  
For more information about the paper feed roller, refer to “Paper Feed Roller“ on page 5-21.  
Toner Cartridges  
This section describes how to handle, store and replace toner cartridges.  
Toner Cartridge Handling Precautions  
The printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. The black toner cartridge  
is capable of printing about 9,000 sheets. The yellow, magenta, and cyan cartridges are capable of  
printing about 6,000 A4 sheets (at the default print density, with 5% coverage per color).  
WARNING: Never throw used toner cartridges into a fire. The residual toner could explode  
resulting in burns and injuries.  
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, always turn off the printer and disconnect the power  
cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the printer or performing maintenance.  
Handling Precautions  
Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean toner. Static electricity could build up and damage sen-  
sors.  
Do not reuse toner cartridges once you have removed them from the printer. Loose toner  
could spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.  
To prevent residual toner form spilling, avoid shaking or bumping used toner cartridges.  
After moving a toner cartridge from a cold place to a warm place, allow 1 hour for the car-  
tridge to adapt to room temperature before installing it. (This is not necessary if there is no  
condensation.)  
Toner is harmless, but should still be washed off immediately if it comes into contact with  
hands or clothing.

Drum Cartridge  
Handling Precautions  
Make sure nothing touches or scratches the light-sensitive drum surface (blue colored part) or  
transfer roller (black colored part). Scratches, dirt, or oil from your hands on the drum or  
transfer roller deteriorates print quality.  
Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight and avoid exposing the drum cartridge to  
fluorescent indoor light, as this may result in dropouts or dirty printing.  
When replacing the drum cartridge, work on a desk or other flat surface to avoid scratching  
the light-sensitive drum and transfer roller.  
Avoid removing the drum cartridge from the printer before it is time to replace it. Removing  
and replacing the drum cartridge can cause dirt to stick to the cartridge and deteriorate print  
quality.  
Avoid tilting or shaking the drum cartridge when removing it, as toner may spill inside the  
printer and cause damage.  
To ensure good print quality, keep the drum cartridge level when handling it.  
The drum cartridge weighs 10 lbs. (4.5 kg). Handle it carefully.  
Wrap used drum cartridges in a plastic bag and dispose of them as non-burnable waste.  
Storage Precautions  
Do not unpack the new drum cartridge until you are ready to install it. If the drum cartridge  
is unpacked put it in its aluminum package for storage.  
Store drum cartridges away from direct sunlight under the following conditions:  
Ambient temperature range, 0 to 35°C; humidity range, 15 to 80 % RH (no condensation)  
Avoid storing in hot humid areas.  
Avoid storing near magnetic objects such as CRT screens, disk drives, or floppy disks.  
Keep out of reach of children.  
Store in a level position.

Transfer Roller Cartridge  
This section describes the procedure for replacing the transfer roller cartridge.  
Transfer Roller Cartridge Handling Precautions  
The transfer roller cartridge consists of a transfer roller and a waste toner collection box. The trans-  
fer roller cartridge is capable of printing about 20,000 A4 sheets (at default print density, with 5%  
color coverage).  
WARNING: Never throw used transfer roller cartridges into a fire. The residual toner could  
explode, resulting in burns.  
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, always turn off the printer and disconnect the power  
cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the printer or performing maintenance.  
NOTE:  
The actual number of printable pages varies depending on the content of printed material,  
paper size, and operating environment. A message prompting you to replace the transfer roller  
may appear before the average number of pages indicated above is actually printed.  
Handling Precautions  
Avoid removing the transfer roller cartridge before it is time to replace it.  
Replace the transfer roller as soon as the message prompting you to do so appears. The printer  
stops operating if you do not replace the transfer roller cartridge when required.  
Do not attempt to reuse toner from the waste toner collection box.  
When you remove the transfer roller cartridge from the printer because the waste toner col-  
lection box is full, do not attempt to empty the waste toner box and reuse the cartridge, as

avoid injury or burns, do not use excessive force to remove jammed paper that is difficult  
remove or wound tightly around the fuser or rollers. If paper proves difficult to remove, turn  
off the printer and contact your Genicom dealer or a Genicom Customer Service Center for

Using the Power-On Files Feature  
Power-on Files Defined  
If an optional FLASH DIMM or hard disk drive is installed in your printer, your printer has the  
capability of storing additional power-on files which can be read and interpreted at power-on. See  
Power-on files can contain either PCL or PostScript language content. Examples of power-on files  
include soft fonts, and macro/overlay definitions. The FLASH DIMM can store approximately  
8MB of file storage, the hard disk drive storage depends on the size of the drive that is installed in  
your printer.  
NOTE:  
Power-on files are processed at power-on initialization only and not at the start of every print  
job.  
Optional control panel menu selections become available when either of these options are installed

Safety Notes  
About this Appendix  
This appendix lists important safety precautions and identifies the applicable regulatory compli-  
ances of your printer.  
Safety Notes  
Be sure to switch off and unplug the printer before accessing the interior of the printer for  
cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance. Accessing the interior of a live machine exposes you  
to the risk of electric shock.  
Do not place the printer in a hot, humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated environment. Prolonged  
exposure to these adverse conditions may cause fire or expose you to electric shock.  
The printer is capable of operating normally within the following environmental limits:  
Temperature range: 50°F -95°F (10°C -35°C)  
At high temperatures (95°F /35°C), humidity should be at or below 70%.  
• Humidity range: 15%-85% (no condensation)  
At maximum humidity (85%), temperature should be at or below 82°F(28°C).  
Stop operation immediately if your printer produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or  
smell. These conditions can indicate or result in a fire. Immediately switch off and unplug the  
printer, and contact your point of purchase.  
The fuser becomes very hot in normal operation. If a paper jam has occurred, turn the power  
off and wait at least 10 minutes before removing the drum cartridge and touching the fuser  
section.  
Regulatory Compliance  
Safety Compliance  
This product conforms the following safety standards:  
UL1950  
CSA C22.2 No. 950  
EN 60950  
IEC 950  
73/23/EEC  
Class 1 Laser Device and CDRH Compliance  
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and  
Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for  
Health and Safety Act of 1968. This certification indicates that the printer does not emit hazardous  
laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within the protec-  
tive housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase  
of user operation.  
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administra-  
tion implemented regulations for laser products on August 1976. These regulations apply to laser  
products marketed in the United States. The label on the printer indicates compliance with the  
CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

Regulatory Compliance  
EMC Compliance  
Class B Equipment  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,  
pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential installation. Changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the  
equipment.  
If your machine is a 220-240V model, there is no need to attach a separate earth line since the earth  
connection is incorporated in the power line. Plug it into a properly rated outlet.

About this Appendix  
This appendix lists some of the most frequently-used commands of the Print Server command set.  
More information about the command set, including additional options, can be found in the  
Ethernet Network Interface Manual on the Electronic Library CD-ROM.  
Please note the following before continuing:  
In this command set appendix the NIC is referred to as the Server.  
Commands are divided into Server (general), Port, and Protocol sections. Within each sec-  
tion, commands are listed alphabetically.  
Commands may require privileged user status. Enter Set Privileged, then enter the privi-  
leged password when prompted.  
When you enter a Define or Purge command, you must reboot the Server for the command  
to take effect.  
When the abbreviated syntax “{EN|DIS}” is shown, you must choose either Enabled or Dis-  
abled to complete the command.  
Each section lists additional information needed to use the command table in that section.
