Safety Information
Laser Safety
This is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no
possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer is operated
according to the instructions in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within pro-
tective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during
any phase of user operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power:
0.6 mW at laser aperture of the print head unit
Wavelength:
770 – 810 nm
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode that emits an invisible
laser beam.
Laser Diode and Scanning Polygon Mirror are incorporated in the print
head unit.
The print head unit is not a field service item.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circum-
stance.
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class I Laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Per-
formance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce haz-
ardous laser radiation.

being generated in the area.
• The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby
and unobstructed.
• Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas in the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ven-
tilators, and areas subjected to temperature and humidity extremes.
• Choose a sturdy, level surface where the printer will not be exposed
to strong vibration.
• Keep the printer away from any objects that might block its heat
vents.
• Do not locate the printer near curtains or other combustible objects.

Installation Precautions
Power Source
The following are the power source requirements for this printer.
Power supply:
220 – 240 V at 50 – 60 Hz
Voltage fluctuation:
220 – 240 V ±10%
Frequency fluctuation:
Within ±3 Hz
Note
◆ Use a power source with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.
◆ Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this
printer.
◆ Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into the outlet. The outlet
should be located near the printer and be easily accessible so you can
unplug the power cord immediately should any problem occur.
◆ Make sure the outlet you use is visible, and not hidden behind the printer
or any other object.
◆ If any other electrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet, make
sure that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
◆ If you use an extension cord, make sure its capacity is greater than the
power consumption of the printer. Using an extension cord with a lower
capacity creates the danger of fire.
◆ Never use a multiple socket to connect other appliances or machines to
the same outlet being used to power the printer.

Operational Precautions
Operational Precautions
Note the following important precautions whenever using the printer.
Operating Environment
The following describes the operating environment required when
using the printer.
Temperature:
10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) with fluctuation of 10°C (18°F) per
hour
Humidity:
15% to 85% with fluctuation of 20% per hour
Printer
The following describes precautions for using the printer.
• Never turn the printer off or open any of its covers during a print
operation.
• Never place flammable gasses, liquids or objects that generate mag-
netic forces near the printer.
• When unplugging the power cord, always grasp the plug and never
pull on the cord. A damaged cord creates the danger of fire or elec-
trical shock.
• Never touch the power cord when your hands are wet. Doing so cre-
ates the danger of electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord before moving the printer. Failure to
do so can damage the power cord, creating the danger of fire or
electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord if you do not plan to use the printer
for a long time.
• Never try to remove any secured panel or cover. The interior of the
printer contains high-voltage circuitry which creates the danger of
electrical shock when exposed.

EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500
Operational Precautions
• Never try to modify the printer. Doing so creates the danger of fire
or electrical shock.
• Never place any heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it or bend
it. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Always make sure the printer is not placed on the electrical cord or
the communications cables of any other electrical equipment. Also
make sure that cords and cables do not get into the printer’s mecha-
nism. Any of these conditions create the danger of malfunction and
fire.
• Always take care so that paper clips, staples, or other small pieces
of metal do not get into the printer through its vents or other open-
ings. Such objects create the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or near the printer.
Fire or electrical shock can occur should water or liquid come into
contact with the printer.
• Should liquid or any piece of metal accidently get inside the printer,
immediately turn it off, unplug the power cord, and contact your
dealer. Failure to take this immediate action creates the danger of
fire or electrical shock.
• Whenever the printer emits unusually high amounts of heat, smoke,
an unusual odor, or noise, immediately turn it off, unplug it, and
contact your dealer. Failure to take this immediate action creates the
danger of fire or electrical shock.
Caution
◆ Be sure to locate the printer in a well-ventilated location. A minimal
amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this
printer. Because of this, an unpleasant odor may result when the
printer is used for extensive printing in a poorly ventilated area. For
comfortable, healthy, and safe operation, be sure to locate the printer
in a well-ventilated area.

Operational Precautions
Attention
◆ Placer l’imprimante dans une pièce largement ventilée
Une quantité d’ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionne-
ment de l’imprimante quand celle-ci est utilisée normalement.
Cependant, une odeur désagréable pent être ressentie dans les pièces
dont l’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation prolongée de
l’imprimante est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans
des conditions de confort, santé et sécurité, il est préférable de bien
aérer la pièce où se trouve l’imprimante.
Printer Supplies
Note the following precautions when handling printer supplies such as
the toner cartridge, the drum cartridge, and paper.
• Avoid storing printer supplies in the following locations.
• Areas subjected to direct sunlight. Additionally, the drum car-
tridge must be protected from fluorescent light.
• Areas exposed to open flame.
• Areas subjected to high humidity.
• Areas subjected to large amounts of dust.
• Keep paper that has been removed from its wrapper, but not yet
loaded onto the printer tray, in a sealed plastic bag and store it in a
cool, dark location.
• Use only the toner cartridge that is expressly specified for this
printer.
• Keep supplies out of the reach of children.
• Should your hands become soiled with toner, immediately wash
them with soap and water.
Caution
◆ Whenever you remove the drum cartridge from the printer, immedi-
ately wrap it with a cloth to protect it against overexposure to light.

Face-Up Tray
This face-up tray receives printed pages, printed side up, as they are
output from the printer. Printed pages are not rolled during the printer’s
output sequence when this tray is used. For this reason, the face-up
tray is recommended for thick paper or envelopes to avoid curling dur-
ing the feeding process.
The maximum capacity of the face-up tray is 20 sheets.

lopes, we suggest that you produce test prints of various types before
purchasing any envelope in large quantities for use with this printer.
◆ Make sure that all edges are creased sharply and that all flaps are folded
correctly.
◆ Do not use envelopes that are self-adhesive. Use only envelopes that have
standard sealing that sticks after it is moistened.

lopes that seal at one end will not feed properly.
◆ Do not use envelopes that have a window. Such envelopes can seriously
damage the printer.

Note
◆ Installing DOS printing utilities updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT, adding
a command to load the Status Monitor at the end of the file. This means
that the Status Monitor program will be loaded automatically whenever
you turn on your computer or execute AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Note that since the Status Monitor must be loaded after all disk caching
and disk compression, and after loading of LAN software (such as Net-
ware).
Loading and Unloading the Status Monitor
If you choose to add REPORT to your Autoexec.bat file, the Status
Monitor is loaded and becomes resident in your computer’s memory
automatically whenever you start up your computer. The following
explains the procedure you should use to manually load the Status
Monitor, how to remove the Status Monitor from memory, and how to
change a variety of Status Monitor settings.

ture while in the Ready mode. With the Normal setting, the printer
takes the normal amount of time to start the first print.

Output Quality Screen
Toner Save
Specify ON or OFF for the toner save setting. Turning toner save on
uses less toner for printing and helps toner cartridges to last longer. The
OFF setting produces normal output and toner usage, while ON uses
less toner but prints lighter.
Resolution
Use this setting to specify either 300 dpi or 600 dpi printing.
Fine-ART
Specify OFF, LIGHT, MEDIUM, or DARK for the Fine-ART setting.
Turning Fine-ART on smooths out jagged edges of text and graphics
for very high quality printing. The default setting for Fine-ART is OFF,
which is generally acceptable for most applications. Fine-ART controls
the size of dots along the edges of text, lines, and graphics so you
might want to change the setting if edges appear too light or dark.
Some graphics that include gray shading or a screen pattern are
improved by turning Fine-ART off.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
Each toner cartridge contains enough toner to produce about 6,000
A4/Letter-size prints. The toner cartridge that comes with the printer
is capable of producing approximately 3,000 A4/Letter-size prints.
This is calculated based on an average image density equivalent to a
black-to-white ratio of 5% or less. The actual number of pages
obtained from a toner cartridge depends on the image density of the
pages you print.
If printed images start to get light, remove the toner cartridge from
the printer, rock it back and forth a few times, and then replace it in the
printer. If this does not solve the problem, you likely need to replace
the toner cartridge with a new one.
To Replace the Toner Cartridge
1 Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord from the
printer.
2 Close the face-down tray.

Replacing the Drum Cartridge
Replacing the Drum Cartridge
Each drum cartridge can produce about 20,000 A4/Letter-size prints.
The actual number of pages obtained from a drum cartridge depends

faint and blurred. If this happens, use the following procedure to
replace the drum cartridge with a new one.
To Replace the Drum Cartridge
