Preparing the Print Unit and Installing the Toner Bottle  
This printer is shipped with the print unit mounted and protective  
materials attached. Be sure to remove the two protective materials  
from the print unit. This operation is possible with the print unit  
mounted. First prepare and install the following two components:  
l
Print unit (photoconductor drum, developing unit, etc.)  
Toner bottle  
l
The toner bottle first installed after you purchase the printer or a  
new print unit will last about 2500 printed pages under the  
condition of 5% coverage on A4 paper. The succeeding toner bottles  
last about 5000 printed pages each.  
Notice:  
Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires to avoid  
possible electrostatic damage to the printer.  
Be careful with the print unit’s drum (the green surface). The drum  
is easily damaged by contamination or by exposure to light for more  
than three minutes. Follow these guidelines:  
l
Never touch or scratch the drum surface.  
l
When the print unit is not in the printer, store it in a dark place or  
cover it with a clean sheet of paper.  
l
When the print unit is in the printer, keep the printer top cover  
closed. If you must work inside the printer for more than three  
minutes, remove the print unit with the toner bottle mounted and  
store it in a dark place.

Note that PPMENU is available in Windows 3.1/3.11 or Windows  
95 environments and MarkVisionr™ is available in Windows 95 or  
Windows NT4.0 environments.  
PPMENU  
Generally, the printer driver controls the printer. You can also  
control the printer using the remote setup utility program called  
PPMENU, stored in the attached CD-ROM.  
PPMENU allows you to easily change your printer’s features directly  
from your computer. You use it to configure your printer to suit the  
requirements of your computer, software, and documents to be  
printed.  
The parameters you can change using PPMENU affect page layout,  
font, and printer control. If your software programs have printer  
drivers, those printer drivers control the parameters for you.  
Therefore, it may not be necessary to change the settings using  
PPMENU.  
PPMENU needs to be installed only if you will print from DOS or  
DOS based applications.  
To install PPMENU, see the booklet “Quick Start” enclosed in the  
CD-ROM envelope.

Printing Your First Document  
6. Print your document.  
Start the program. The default paper size is fixed to A4 (for  
Europe) or Letter (for the USA). However, you can print a  
document on a different size of paper using the manual feed slot  
which you can choose in the Printer Driver’s main window.  
Adjusting Print Density  
If you feel that the printout is too light or too dark, adjust the print  
density by turning the print density dial. It is located inside the top  
cover above the control panel. Turning the dial clockwise darkens  
the print. A counterclockwise adjustment lightens the print. After  
making the adjustment, close the top cover, print your trial  
document again, and check the results.

If you see a problem with the printed pages other than print density,  
see Chapter 5 for possible causes and solutions.

example, the buffer might contain data from an interrupted print  
job. When the buffer contains residual data, the control panel DATA  
indicator is steadily lit.  
Clearing an Error Condition to Continue Printing  
When a recoverable error occurred, pressing  
clears the error  
condition and continues printing. For example, you can resume  
printing after adding paper in response to a TRAY1 PAPER OUT  
message. You can use  
TRAY1 A4. For example, you might want to print a page with A4-  
size format on a letter-size sheet. also allows you to override  
to ignore a message such as LOAD  
the I NSERT A4 prompt when feeding paper manually. By pressing  
the printer prints from tray1 (MFF) instead.

Paper Types and Sizes  
This printer can print on a variety of common office papers in  
addition to standard photocopier bond. Bond paper can range in  
basic weight from 60 to 70 g/m2 (16 to 24 pound) for the paper tray  
and from 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 pound) for the manual feed slot.  
Smooth paper produces the best print quality, but textured papers  
usually provide satisfactory results.  
The following descriptions also apply to an optional paper tray.  
Notice:  
When you use thick paper, follow these guidelines:  
l
When you are using thick paper or special paper and find improper  
adhering of toner to the paper, turn the thick paper mode on using  
the control panel. This mode is invalid for envelopes,  
transparencies, and labels.  
l
Turn the mode off when you print on regular paper. Printing  
regular paper with this mode on may cause a decrease in print  
quality or reliability of the printer.

General Tips  
Observe the following tips when handling print media.  
l
l
l
Do not use paper that is wrinkled or curled.  
Do not use paper with staples or metal parts.  
When printing both sides of sheets, we recommend you to use an  
optional duplex unit. If your printer has no duplex unit, use the  
manual feed slot and remove curls after first printing. Use paper in  
60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 pound) weight for the duplex unit and 6 0  
to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 pound) weight for the manual feed slot.  
Paper thinner than this weight may be wrinkled thus causing  
decrease in print quality.  
l
Two-sided printing is not allowed for transparencies, envelopes,  
and labels even if your printer has the duplex unit.

Handling Paper  
Preprinted Sheets  
In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letterhead.  
However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing,  
or foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these  
effects (heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit.  
For this reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image.  
Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper  
tray. When using the manual feed slot, place paper with the printed  
side facing up. For printing in portrait orientation, the letterhead  
should be at the front of the tray. For landscape orientation, it should  
be at the right of the tray. For more information on printing in  
different orientations, see the later section of this chapter.  
Transparencies  
This printer can print on overhead transparency material.  
l
We recommend you to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex  
unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that transparencies  
are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.  
The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.  
l
Use materials specially designed for laser printers or photocopiers.  
l
Always feed transparency material from the multi-function feeder  
(MFF; standard for 16ADV and option for 16DV). Use the  
manual feed slot of the printer if the MFF is removed.  
l
l
To remove curls from printed transparency materials, use correct  
frames or put a weight on them until they lay flat.  
Be sure to fan the transparency stack to prevent sheets from  
sticking together.

Handling Paper  
Envelopes  
This printer prints well on envelopes if you carefully follow these  
guidelines:  
• Use envelopes made of paper in 75 to 105 g/m2 (20 to 28 pound)  
weight. Printing with envelopes made of paper thinner than this  
weight may produce wrinkles thus causing decrease in print quality.  
• Be sure to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when  
your printer has the duplex unit) so that envelopes are ejected  
straight out the back to minimize curl.  
The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.  
• Use the envelope sizes shown in the preceding table.  
• To avoid damage to the printer, never use envelopes with clasps,  
snaps, windows, or synthetic materials.  
• Feed from the multi-function feeder (MFF; standard for 16ADV  
and option for 16DV). Use the manual feed slot of the printer if  
the MFF is removed.  
• Feed the envelopes with the gummed side of the flaps facing  
downward.  
• Do not use “encapsulated” adhesives, which seal by pressure alone.  
• To avoid jamming, restrict the minimum paper weight to 64 g/m2  
( 17 pound).  
• To avoid creasing along the edges, use high-quality envelopes with  
stiff edges.  
• To avoid uneven printing, do not attempt to print on the gummed  
overlap areas.  
• Be sure to feed or load the envelopes with the envelope centered  
against the manual feed slot. Use the guide of the paper sizes.  
• Before attempting large-scale printing on envelopes, consult with  
your stationery dealer. Also, test the envelopes carefully for  
consistent, trouble-free printing.

Labels  
This printer prints well on labels if you carefully follow these guidelines:  
l
Be careful to use labels under normal operating conditions. Labels  
are sensitive to temperature and humidity.  
l
Use the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer  
has the duplex unit) so that labels are ejected straight out the back  
to minimize curl.  
l
Use only labels without backing sheets exposed in the printable  
area. Labels mounted separately on a backing sheet tend to slip,  
resulting in crocked print.

Feeding Paper Manually  
This printer allows you to feed sheets manually one by one. Use the  
manual feed slot to print a document on a different type of paper  
without unloading your regular paper from the paper tray. You also  
use manual feed for printing envelopes, overhead transparencies, and  
labels.  
The manual feed slot is built in the printer. It is also provided in the  
multi-function feeder which is standard for the PrintPartner 16ADV  
but optional for the PrintPartner 16DV. The procedure is the same.  
To use the manual feed slot, first select MANUAL FEED ON using the  
tray select mode of the control panel. Next, start your software  
program to print a file. Then follow these steps:  
Using Manual Feed Slot of the Multi-Function Feeder  
1. Adjust the paper guides.

upper guides to the width  
of the sheet. (Lower two  
guides are for paper stack.)  
2. Place the sheet with print  
side face up. When the  
printer is ready to print, it  
displays the message  
I NSERT SI ZE to prompt  
you to prepare a sheet of  
paper. Insert the sheet until  
it is stopped by the feed  
rollers. Insufficient insertion  
prevents paper from being

Printing on Nonstandard Size Paper and on Envelopes  
Most of the control over printing on nonstandard size paper must  
come from your software program. Programs handle page size  
specifications in many different ways.  
This section provides tips on feeding and using non standard paper  
with your Fujitsu printer.  
Considerations on Paper Size  
The following considerations apply:  
l
For envelopes and other nonstandard paper sizes, use the manual  
feed slot.  
l
Using the control panel, select a paper size that is equal to or larger  
than the physical size of the nonstandard size paper. Otherwise,  
part of the printed image may be cut off  
Selecting a paper size larger than the physical paper may result in  
data running off the edges of the paper. This can affect print quality  
and shorten the life of the print unit. To avoid this problem, adjust  
the page setup in your program so the print data falls within the  
limits of the physical page and center the paper in the manual feed  
slot.

Page Orientation  
Figure 3-4 illustrates the two orientations and shows the relationship  
between the loaded paper and the resulting printout. This  
relationship is important if you want to print on letterhead. In  
portrait orientation, place the letterhead toward you and face down  
in the paper tray. In landscape orientation, place the letterhead  
against the right frame of the tray and face down.  
Letter  
Head  
Figure 3-4 Portrait and landscape orientation  
When using the manual feed slot, place the paper with its letterhead  
facing up. In portrait orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead  
away from you. In landscape orientation, insert the paper with its  
letterhead on the right hand side.  
Some software programs allow you to print both portrait and  
landscape information on a single page. The function that allows you  
to do this is usually called something like “text rotation.” Consult  
your software documentation for information.

also have the proper connectors. Your dealer or technical support  
person can supply you with the proper cable.  
For example, the LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit-DIN-8 (Apple  
product) is available. Also refer to your computer documentation for  
the type of connector required by its LocalTalk port.  
Notice:  
Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface  
cable.  
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic

Connecting to the Ethernet Port  
The Ethernet interface board has two connectors, l0BASE- and  
10BASE-T. The 10BASE-2 connector is for a coaxial cable, bus  
connection. The l0BASE-2 connector is for a twisted-pair cable, star  
connection. Either will do.  
Connecting to the Ethernet port involves the following three tasks:  
l
Check the type of cables your network uses.  
l
Select the l0BASE-2 or l0BASE-T connector of the interface  
board according to the connector type of your cable.  
l
Connect the interface cable to the printer and a network port.  
Connecting the Ethernet Interface Cable  
To connect to the Ethernet interface port, you need a cable correctly  
wired for your network. The cable must also have the proper  
connectors. Your dealer or technical support person can supply you  
with the proper cable.  
For example, C66L-2810-0111 and C66L-1240-0002 (Fujitsu  
products) are available for l0BASE-T and 10BASE-2 ports  
respectively. Also refer to your network documentation for the type  
of connector required by its Ethernet port.  
Notice:  
Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface cable.  
Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic  
damage to the printer. For the same reason, do not remove the protective  
cover from the l0BASE-2 port which is not in use because you use the  
l0BASE-T port.

The print unit life is designed to last about 40,000 pages of 5%  
coverage continuous printing on A4 paper or about one year after  
unpacking, whichever comes first. The print unit life depends on  
print coverage, paper type, and operating and/or storage conditions.  
The print unit life ends when background smudge, ghosting, or  
dropouts occurs. Avoid unnecessary high coverage printing to  
maintain the print unit performance.

Glossary  
Application software  
A program that performs a particular task on a computer. Examples  
are word processing, spreadsheet, and database programs.  
Baud  
The speed of data transmission measured in bits per second. Baud  
rates apply to data transmission through the printer’s serial interface.  
Baud is also called baud rate.  
For example, 1200 baud is approximately equal to 120 characters per  
second.  
Bit  
A binary digit, or bit, is the smallest unit of information in a  
computer’s memory. A bit can have the value 0 or 1, which  
represents the OFF and ON state in a computer’s memory. Eight  
bits equals one byte.  
Bit map  
An image representation in which each point in the image is  
separately defined. For monochrome images, each point is defined by  
a single unit of information. For color images, each point is defined  
by several units of information, representing the different color  
elements.  
The characters produced by a dot matrix printer are a kind of bit  
map. Each character image is created by defining the points in the  
dot matrix as either on or off.

Glossary  
Bitmapped font  
A font in which the character images are defined by bit maps. With  
bitmapped fonts, a separate set of definitions is required for each  
point size. For example, Times 10 point and Times 12 point are  
considered separate fonts. See also Scalable font.  
Configuration  
A combination of settings that allows your computer and printer to  
work together. Some of the necessary settings are in the computer or  
application software, while other settings are in the printer. For  
example, the interface setting must be set the same in both the  
computer and the printer.  
Corona wire  
A fine wire in the printer that gives a positive charge to the paper.  
This charge causes the toner on the drum to transfer to the paper.  
Default  
A setting automatically used when you or your application software  
do not make a selection. The settings in effect when you turn on or  
reset the printer are called power-on defaults. See also Factory default.  
Density  
The darkness of the image as it appears on the page. If the density is  
too dark, the small white areas inside letters and numbers will be  
filled in. If the density is too light, pinholes appear in black areas.  
Print density can be adjusted with the print density dial.  
Downloadable font  
A font that is transferred (downloaded) to the printer’s memory  
when or before it is needed. Before they are transferred,  
downloadable fonts are stored on font cards, floppy disks, or the  
computer’s hard disk. Downloadable fonts are also called soft fonts.  
Emulation  
The ability of one printer to understand the command set of another  
printer. Emulations may be built into a printer’s memory or may be  
supplied on optional plug-in emulation cards or cartridges.

Glossary  
Ethernet  
A communication hardware for a high-speed network: developed by  
Xerox Corporation.  
Factory default  
The settings that are programmed into a printer at the factory. The  
printer uses these settings unless they are replaced by user selected  
settings entered from the control panel or through application  
software.  
Flow control  
See Serial protocol.  
Font  
A complete set of characters and symbols in one size, typeface, and  
style. Size refers to the character height, and is usually measured in  
points (l/72 inch). Typeface refers to the character design, such as  
Courier, Times, or Helvetica. Style refers to the character  
appearance, such as Italic or Bold. Typical examples of fonts are 12-  
point Courier Bold, and lo-point Times Italic.  
Fuser unit  
One of the internal parts of a page printer. The fuser unit bonds the  
toner to the paper. It consists of a heat roller and a pressure roller  
that the paper passes under after toner has been applied.  
Hex dump  
A special printout used for troubleshooting. A hex dump shows all  
data sent by the computer to the printer, including control  
characters. The data in a hex dump is expressed in hexadecimal  
format.  
Initialization  
Resets the printer to its power-on defaults. Initialization clears the  
print buffer of any data and places the printer online. See also Reset.

Glossary  
Interface  
The means by which information is transferred from one part of a  
system to another. For example, the cable between the printer and  
the computer is an interface.  
IS0 symbol set  
IS0 stands for “International Organization for Stanardization”. An  
IS0 symbol set contains special international characters that replace  
the following twelve ASCII characters:  
IS0 symbols sets are available for most European languages,  
Chinese, and Japanese.  
and  
LocalTalk  
A protocol for an easy AppleTalk that connects devices and  
computers in a Macintosh system, developed by Apple Computer.  
Margin  
The space at the edges of a page in which no printing occurs. There  
are four margins: left, right, top, and bottom. In application  
software, margins are usually expressed in inches, centimeters, or  
points. In printer commands, left and right margins are specified as  
columns, while top and bottom margins are specified as lines.  
Page printers have a minimum margin, typically of about .2 inch (5  
mm), on all four sides, called the nonprint margin. No printing  
occurs in this margin. If the application sofware specifies a margin  
of 0, actual printing begins at the edge of the nonprint margin. See  
also Printable area.  
MarkVision  
A printer management integrated software which monitors printer  
status, displays optional printer’s features, spools print data, and  
cooperates with printer drivers. It also displays the virtual printer  
control panel to allow remote operation of printers.  
Orientation  
The direction of print on a page. Printing such that the shorter edges  
of the paper are at the top and bottom is called portrait orientation.  
User’s Manual

Glossary  
Printing such that the longer edges of the paper are at the top and  
bottom is called landscape orientation.  
Example:  
Page description language  
A set of codes that describe the placement of text and graphics on a  
page. Page Control Language (PCL), the language used by HP  
LaserJet printers, and Postscript are examples of page description  
languages.  
Page protect  
A printer feature that reserves a block of printer memory exclusively  
for text and graphics data. Page protect prevents memory overflow  
errors when printing very dense text or complex graphics. However,  
page protect also reduces the amount of printer memory available for  
downloadable fonts.  
Parallel interface  
A connection between the computer and printer in which data is  
transferred simultaneously through multiple wires. A parallel  
interface is faster than a serial interface, but the distance over which  
it can send data is limited. The Centronics interface is a type of  
parallel interface. See also Serial interface.  
Photoconductive drum  
The part inside a page printer on which the image is created before it  
is transferred to the paper.  
Postscript  
See Page description language.

Glossary  
Precharger wire  
A fine wire in the printer’s process cartridge that imparts an electrical  
charge to the photoconductive drum. The charge makes the drum  
sensitive to light.  
Printable area  
The area of the physical page in which the printer is able to print.  
Page printers have a nonprint margin, typically about .2 inch (5 mm)  
wide, at each edge of the paper. The printable area is the space  
within these margins. See also Margin.  
Example:  
Printer driver  
A set of instructions in application software that translates formatting  
choices into printer commands. When installing the application, the  
user identifies the type of printer being used so the application knows  
which printer driver to use.  
Print unit  
A maintenance package consisting of the photoconductive drum,  
developing unit, toner, and drum cleaner.  
Res et  
Clears the print buffer and places the printer online. Unlike  
initialization, reset leaves the currently selected settings in effect.  
That is, reset does not restore the power-on defaults. See also  
Initialization.

Glossary  
Resolution  
The fineness of the printing. Resolution depends on the number of  
dots per inch. High resolution (with more dots) is finer and more  
precise than low resolution, which is coarser with rougher edges.  
Scalable font  
A font capable of printing in any point size. Scalable fonts are stored  
on the computer’s hard disk. Each font consists of character  
templates that are used by the accompanying font utility software to  
create the characters in the desired point size.  
Some font utilities create a complete set of characters in the desired  
size and send the complete set to the printer. Other utilities create  
and send only the individual characters as they are needed, which  
conserves printer memory.  
Serial interface  
A connection between the computer and printer in which data is  
transmitted sequentially over a single wire. A serial interface is slower  
than a parallel interface, but it can send data over a much greater  
distance. The RS-232C interface is a type of serial interface. See a h  
Parallel interface.  
Serial protocol  
A set of rules used by the computer and the printer to regulate the  
flow of data between them.  
Symbol set  
The set of characters used in a font. Most symbol sets contain  
standard letters, numbers, and punctuation. Symbol sets differ in the  
accented characters, line drawing characters, and special symbols they  
contain. ASCII, Roman-8 and PC-8 and examples of symbol sets.  
Symbol sets are also called character sets, which is the term usually  
used with dot matrix printer fonts. See also ASCII character set; IS0  
symbol set.
