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.

•
•
Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge
going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across
them.
•
•
Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or
print poorly.
Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an enve-
lope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to
check print quality.

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.

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

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.

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.
