-Small Size Print Area
This printer supports printing on print areas such as “A4 Small” and “Letter
Small” when printing from a Macintosh only with specific versions of the driver.
Printing with the LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) driver supports printing on both
standard and small print areas. However, with LaserWriter 8.3x (or earlier), the
small print area options are not displayed.
With LaserWriter 8.3x (or earlier), select A4, for example, and click [Options] in
the [Page Setup] dialog box, then use the [Larger Print Area] option. Checking [Larg-
er Print Area] produces the same printing result as LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) stan-
dard A4 print area. Unchecking the [Larger Print Area] produces the same result
as the LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) “A4 Small” print area.

Removing Misfed Paper
When a paper misfeed occurs, an er-
ror message appears on the panel dis-
play. The procedure you should
follow to remove misfed paper de-
pends on the location of the misfeed
indicated on the panel display.
❒ Confirm that the size of paper
loaded in the paper tray is the
same as the size of the OHP trans-
parency.
❒ If a paper misfeed still occurs, con-
tact your sales or service represen-
tative.
R CAUTION:
• When removing misfed pa-
per, do not touch the fusing
section because it could be
very hot.
❒ Do not touch the photoconductor
unit when removing misfed paper.
If you do, the photoconductor unit
might be damaged.

❒ Exposing the photoconductor unit
to light for too long can reduce its
performance. Close the cover as
quickly as possible.
• When accessing the inside of
the machine, do not touch any
sections other than those
specified in this manual. If you
do, it might result in receiving
a burn or injury.
❒ After removing the misfed paper,
the back sides of the next printout
might get dirty. Print a few pages
to absorb the toner.
Important
❒ If the printer is equipped with the
optional tray, do not pull out more
than two trays at the same time. If
you do, the printer might tilt for-
ward.

No modification to the color setting.
• Vivid
Select this setting to perform CMYK conversion with enhanced saturation

• Super Vivid
Select this setting to perform CMYK conversion. The colors printed with
this setting are more vivid than those printed with the "Vivid" setting. All
of the colors in the image, especially the lighter ones, are emphasized.
• Fine
Select this setting to perform color matching based on the printer's built-in
color rendering dictionaries, and perform CMYK conversion. It makes it
possible to print colors that are close to the displayed colors on the com-
puter screen.
The color rendering dictionaries refer to the contents selected by “Color-

❒ When selecting “OHP” as the paper type, the CRD automatically adjusts
to use a color profile specifically for OHP. Even though the color profile
has been optimized for OHP, the adjustments are automatic and are not in-
dicated on any of the dialog boxes. In this case, this setting is not enabled.
• Photograph
Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of photos and graphics that
include midtones.
• Presentation
Use this setting to enhance the reproduction of documents that contain text
and graphics. This CRD is best for printing colored charts, graphs, presen-

ing can cause colors to be different from those expected. Because of this,
use toner saving only for proofing and intermediate drafts, and turn it off
for final prints when top quality is important.

Administering Printing by User Code
This printer keeps a record of the number of pages printed under each User
Code set in the printer driver. Using eight digit codes allow you to keep a record
of the number of prints made under each User Code for three types of printing.
There are "Black" (black and white), "Two-color" (two colors or less excluding
black and white) and "Full Color" (three or four colors). By assigning User Codes
to each department or user in the office, for example, you can keep track of the
number of pages printed by each department or user. Up to 100 User Codes are
available.
Important
❒ If you reinstall the printer driver, reinstall all User Codes.
❒ With Windows 95/98, you can only change User Codes after reinstalling the
printer driver.

Color Printing Basics
Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models
All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB
model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model
produces white.
red
green
blue
Note
❒ RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer
screen are produced by varying the intensities of RGB.
Printed color is a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow, which is normally called
the CMY color model. When mixed in equal proportions the CMY color model
produces black.
yellow

cyan
Note
❒ CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color. The printer uses CMY toner
plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing.

Appendix
The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta,
and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are
mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces
cyan, for example). The remaining color is the complement of the color pro-
duced (red in this example). Complementary colors are: red and cyan, green and
magenta, blue and yellow.

Printed Color
The printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model.

Note
❒ Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pure black,
but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce
a muddy or dark brown. Black toner is added to the color model in order to
make it possible to produce pure black.

Moving and Transporting the Printer
R CAUTION:
• It is recommended that at least two persons are used to lift the simplex print-
er. Otherwise, the printer might fall and cause personal injury.
• It is recommended that at least three persons are used to lift the duplex
printer. Otherwise, the printer might fall and cause personal injury.
• When lifting the machine, use the grips on both sides. The machine could
break or cause an injury if dropped.
• Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the
cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs or
cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard.
• When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damaging
the cord and causing a fire or an electric shock.
• When moving the printer, be sure to keep it level to avoid spilling the fuser
oil. If oil is spilt, wipe it with alkaline cleaner. Otherwise, the oily surfaces
can create the danger of slipping and personal injury.

Note
❒ The actual number of printed pages you get from a particular toner car-
tridge depends on the type and size of paper you are using, the contents of
your print images, and printing environment conditions. The life of a toner
cartridge also shortens as the cartridge becomes older. All this means that
a toner cartridge might require replacement sooner than the normal life de-
scribed above.
