Paper Recommendations  
Loading Paper  
1
Important  
Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and  
cause a paper misfeed.  
When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with  
the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause  
them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.  
Set the paper as described below.  
• Tray 1: Print side facing down  
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing up  
• Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing down  
Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended  
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales  
or service representative.  
Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.  
Storing Paper  
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might re-  
sult in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommenda-  
tions are as follows:  
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.  
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.  
• Store on a flat surface.  
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge  
R WARNING:  
R CAUTION:  
Do not incinerate spilled toner  
or used toner. Toner dust is  
flammable and might ignite  
when exposed to an open  
flame.  
If toner or used toner is swal-  
lowed, dilute by drinking a large  
amount of water. Consult a doc-  
tor if necessary.  
Avoid getting toner on your  
clothes or skin when removing a  
paper jam or replacing toner. If  
your skin comes into contact with  
toner, wash the affected area  
thoroughly with soap and water.  
Disposal should take place at  
an authorized dealer or an ap-  
propriate collection site.  
If you dispose of the used ton-  
er cartridges yourself, dis-  
pose of them according to  
local regulations.  
If toner gets on your clothing,  
wash with cold water. Hot water  
will set the toner into the fabric  
and may make removing the  
stain impossible.  
Do not store toner, used toner,  
or toner containers in a place  
with an open flame. The toner  
might ignite and cause burns  
or a fire.  
Replace the toner cartridge if the fol-  
lowing message appears on the dis-  
play:  
R CAUTION:  
Keep toner (used or unused) and  
the toner cartridge out of reach  
of children.

If toner or used toner is inhaled,  
gargle with plenty of water and  
move into a fresh air environ-  
ment. Consult a doctor if neces-  
sary.  
Important  
Do not expose the toner cartridge  
to light for a long time. Do not  
leave the front cover open for a  
long time. If the toner cartridge is  
exposed to a light for a long time,  
the toner cartridge might be dam-  
aged and print quality might be re-  
duced.  
If your skin comes into contact  
with toner or used toner, wash  
the affected area thoroughly with  
soap and water.  
If toner or used toner gets into  
your eyes, flush immediately  
with large amounts of water.  
Consult a doctor if necessary.

3. Cleaning the Printer  
Cautions to Take When Cleaning  
R WARNING:  
Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this  
manual. Some parts of the machine are at a high voltage and could  
give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser systems, di-  
rect (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause  
serious eye damage. When the machine needs to be checked, adjust-  
ed, or repaired, contact your service representative.  
Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There  
is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the ma-  
chine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.  
R CAUTION:  
When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could  
be very hot.  
Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.  
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a  
soft, wet cloth that is wrung out well. If you still cannot remove the stain or  
grime, use a neutral detergent, and then wipe over with a well-wrung wet cloth,  
dry wipe, and let it dry.  
Important  
To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemi-  
cals, such as benzine and thinner, or spray insecticide on the printer.  
If there is dust or grime inside the printer, 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. Ac-  
cumulated dust and grime pose a fire hazard.

6. Removing Misfed Paper  
Removing Misfed Paper  
An error message appears if a paper misfeed occurs. The error message gives the  
location of the misfeed.  
Important  
Misfed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your  
hands or clothes.  
Toner on prints made after removing misfed paper may be loose (inadequate-  
ly fused). Make a few test prints until smudges no longer appear.  
Do not forcefully remove misfed paper, as it will tear. Torn pieces remaining  
inside the printer will cause further misfeeds and possibly damage the printer.
