Frequently Asked Questions About USB  
Q
What is USB?  
Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to  
your computer without having to open the PC. USB uses a  
standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like  
printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers  
the benefit of being able to add, remove, and move devices.  
A
Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended  
using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option to  
customers who want to print from Windows 98/Me/2000/XP  
across the USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled and  
properly setup, you can connect your printer via a USB cable.  
How can I determine if my computer’s USB port is enabled?  
Q
In Windows 98/Me, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.  
Double-click the System icon.  
1
2
3
4
A
Click the Device Manager tab.  
Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus  
Controller item.  
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, then  
the USB is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the  
USB chain, try connecting your printer to a different hub or to  
another USB device. Also, insure the cable connections are firm.

Q
printer on the USB chain?  
Yes. Windows 98/Me/2000/XP allows you to “share” your printer  
using software settings on your computer. After others on the USB  
chain have installed the printer software for your specific printer,  
they can print to your shared printer.

Q
After I install my printer, why isn’t my ML-1430 Series printer  
assigned to an LPT printer port in the Print dialog box of my  
software application?  
USB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. After the  
printer has been installed, you see SSUSB:(your printer name)  
instead of LPT.

How can I increase printing speed and quality?  
Q
When operated on a USB chain, your printer may print slower if  
other USB devices are being used while you’re printing. For  
optimal print performance, avoid using other devices in the USB  
chain while printing.

Choosing Paper and Other Media  
You can print on a variety of print media, including plain paper,  
envelopes, labels, transparencies and card stock. See “Paper  
Specifications” on page A.2. For the best possible print quality,  
use only high-quality copier-grade paper.  
When you choose print media, consider the following:  
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be  
appropriate for the project.  
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the  
adjusters of the paper tray.  
• Weight : Your printer supports the following paper weights:  
• 16~24 lb bond for the automatic input tray  
• 16~43 lb bond for the manual input tray  
• Brightness: Some paper is whiter than others and produces  
sharper, more vibrant images.  
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects  
how crisp the printing appears on paper.  
CAUTION: Using media that does not conform to the  
specifications listed in this section can cause problems that may  
require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or  
service agreement.

Choosing Paper and Other Media  
Paper Guidelines  
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special  
media, keep these guidelines in mind:  
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper  
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.  
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multiply forms.  
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper.  
• Do not use paper that has been printed on or that has  
been fed through a photocopier.  
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or  
staples.  
• Do not attempt to overload the tray during printing.  
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or  
texture that is too smooth or rough.  
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white  
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s  
fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without  
deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that  
was added after the paper was produced.  
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-  
resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release  
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s fusing  
temperature.  
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready for use. Place  
cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.  
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it  
is packaged or unpackaged.  
• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other  
conditions that can cause wrinkle or curl.

Selecting the Output Location  
The printer has two output locations: the face-up output slot and the face-down output  
tray. You can select the output location by changing the position of the output lever on the  
front of the printer. To use the face-down output tray, be sure the output lever is in upper  
(normal) position. To use the face-up output slot, push the output lever down.  
• If paper coming out of the face-down output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try  
printing to the face-up output slot.  
• To avoid paper jams, do not change the position of the output lever while printing.  
Printing to the Face-Down Output Tray  
The face-down output tray collects paper  
in face-down order. To use, make sure  
the output lever is in the upper position.  
(If it is not, push it up)  
The face-down output tray should be  
used for most print jobs and is  
recommended when printing large jobs.  
Printing to the Face-Up Output Slot  
The printer prints to the face-up output  
slot if open. Push the output lever down  
to open the slot. Paper will come out of  
the printer face-up.  
Using the face-up output slot might  
improve output quality with the following:  
• envelopes  
• labels  
• Transparency films  
• paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2)

Loading Paper  
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and insures  
trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper from the tray(s)  
while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam.  
Using the Automatic Input Tray  
The automatic input tray holds 150 sheets of paper and five  
sheets of special media. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on  
page 4.2 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each  
input tray.  
Load a stack of paper into the automatic input tray and  
print. For details on loading paper in the automatic input  
tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.4.  
Note: Before using the automatic input tray, you must remove the  
paper from the manual input tray.  
Using the Manual Input Tray  
If you select Manual in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the  
manual input tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print  
quality after each page is printed.  
If you experience a paper jam from the automatic input tray, load one sheet of paper at a  
time into the manual input tray  
.
Note: To avoid a paper jam, use the manual tray with the automatic input tray loaded with paper.

Printing on Heavy Paper  
Guidelines  
• Heavy paper is any paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2). For cotton papers, you can use  
24 lb paper. The maximum paper weight available for your printer is 43 lb (163g/m2).  
• Do not use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 43 lb, or 163 g/m2 bond).  
Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessive  
mechanical wear can result.

Printing on Labels  
Guidelines  
• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.  
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 200°C  
(392°F) for 0.1 second.  
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas  
can cause labels to peel off during printing, cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also  
cause damage to printer components.  
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing  
is designed for one pass through the printer.  
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or  
otherwise damaged.

Printing on Transparencies  
Guidelines  
• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.  
• Insure transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.  
• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils deposited on  
the transparency can cause print quality problems.  
• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.

Printing on Preprinted Paper  
Guidelines  
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release  
hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F  
(205°C) for 0.1 second.  
• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer  
rollers.  
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes  
during storage.  
• Before loading preprinted paper as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper  
is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD  
What is an Overlay?  
as a special file format that can be printed on any document.  
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms  
and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead,  
you can create an overlay containing the exact same  
Dear ABC  
information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a  
letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load  
preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell  
the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

This chapter provides suggestions for maintaining the toner  
cartridge and printer.  
Topics included in this chapter are:

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge  
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the  
following guidelines in mind.  
Toner cartridge  
storage  
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready  
for use.  
• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not  
cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.  
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.  
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to  
light for more than a few minute.  
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner  
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a  
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. (The  
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average  
of 1,000 pages.)  
Toner cartridge life  
expectancy  
After installing a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the  
instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old  
cartridge.  
Recycling toner  
cartridge  
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer  
control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the  
Toner Save Mode in the printer properties. Refer to “Using  
Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will extend  
the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but  
will reduce print quality.

Toner Cartridge  
Redistributing Toner  
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to  
temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may  
allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge.  
1
Grasp the front cover at both sides and  
pull it toward you to open.  
2
Remove the toner cartridge from the  
printer.  
CAUTION:  
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer.  
The fusing area may be hot.  
• To prevent damage to the toner  
cartridge, do not expose it to light  
for more than a few minutes.  
3
Gently shake the toner cartridge from  
side to side five or six times to  
redistribute the toner.  
Note: If the toner gets on your clothing,  
wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash  
clothing in cold water. Hot water sets  
toner into fabric.

Cleaning the Printer  
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is  
replaced or if print quality problems occur.  
Notes:  
• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner on or around the printer.  
These can damage the printer.  
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located  
underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.  
Cleaning the Outside  
Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-  
free cloth.  
Cleaning the Inside  
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles  
can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print  
quality problems such as toner specs or smearing. Cleaning the  
inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.

Clearing Paper Jams  
Occasionally, paper can become jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include:  
• The paper tray is loaded improperly or overfilled.  
• The paper tray has been pulled out during a print job.  
• The top cover has been opened during a print job.  
• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on  
page A.2.  
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications”  
on page A.2.  
If a paper jam occurs, the Paper and the Error lights remain lit on the control panel. Find  
and remove the jammed paper. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look inside the  
printer.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams  
By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can  
be avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined  
in “Clearing Paper Jams” on page 7.6.  
• Follow the procedures in “Load Paper” on page 2.4. Insure  
that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.  
• Do not overload the automatic input tray. Insure the paper is  
below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.  
• Do not remove the paper from the input tray while printing.  
• Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading.  
• Do not use creased, damp or highly curled paper.  
• Do not mix paper types in the input tray.  
• Use only recommended print media. See “Paper  
Specifications” on page A.2.  
• Insure that the recommended print side is facing up when  
loading paper into both input trays.  
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See  
“Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page A.6.

Common Linux Problems  
Problem  
Possible Cause and Solution  
I can’t change settings in  
the configuration tool.  
You need to have administrator privileges to be able to affect  
global settings.  
I am using the KDE  
desktop but the  
configuration tool and  
SLPR won’t start.  
Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed. These  
usually come with most Linux distributions, but you may have  
to install them manually. Refer to your distribution’s  
installation manual for more details about installing additional  
packages.  
I just installed this  
package but can’t find  
entries in the KDE/Gnome  
menus.  
Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop environments  
may require that you restart your session for the changes to  
take effect.  
I get a “Some options are  
not selected” error  
message while editing the  
printer settings.  
Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that some  
settings for two options can’t be selected at the same time.  
When you change a setting and the Printer Package detects  
such a conflict, the conflicting option is changed to a “No  
Choice” value, and you have to choose an option that does not  
conflict before being able to submit the changes.  
I can’t make a printer the  
system default.  
In some conditions, it may not be possible to change the  
default queue. This happens with some variants of LPD or  
LPRng. LPD systems identify the default queue as the one  
named “lp”. Thus if there is already a queue by this name, and  
if it doesn’t have any alias, then you won’t be able to change  
the default. To work around this, you can either delete the  
queue, or rename it by manually editing the /etc/printcap  
file.  
The N-up setting does not  
work correctly for some  
of my documents.  
The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of the  
PostScript data that is being sent to the printing system.  
However, such post-processing can only be adequately  
achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe  
Document Structing Conventions. Problems may arise when  
using N-up and other features relying on post-processing if the  
document being printed isn’t compliant.

Common Linux Problems  
Problem  
Possible Cause and Solution  
I am using BSD lpr  
Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the length of  
the option string that can be passed to the printing system. As  
such, if you selected a number of different options, the length  
of the options may be exceeded and some of your choices  
won’t be passed to the programs responsible for implementing  
them. Try to select less options that deviate from the defaults,  
to save on memory usage.  
(Slackware, Debian, older  
distributions) and some  
options chosen in SLPR  
don’t seem to take effect.  
I am trying to print a  
document in Landscape  
mode, but it prints  
Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape orientation  
option in their printing options will generate correct PostScript  
code that should be printed as is. In that case, you need to  
make sure that you leave the SLPR option to its default  
Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the page that  
would result in a cropped output.  
rotated and cropped.  
Some pages come out all  
white (noting is printed),  
and I am using CUPS.  
If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)  
format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10 and before)  
have a bug preventing them from being processed correctly.  
When going through SLPR to print, the Printer Package will  
work around this issue by converting the data to regular  
PostScript. However, if your application by passes SLPR and  
feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not print correctly.  
I can’t print to a SMB  
(Windows) printer.  
To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such as  
printers shared on a Windows machine), you need to have a  
correct installation of the SAMBA package that enables that  
feature. The “smbclient” command should be available and  
usable on your system.  
My application seems to  
be frozen while SLPR is  
running.  
Most Unix applications will expect a command like the regular  
“lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus return  
immediately. Since SLPR is waiting for user input before  
passing the job on to the print spooler, very often the  
application will wait for the process to return, and thus will  
appear to be frozen (its windows won’t refresh). This is normal  
and the application should resume functioning correctly after  
the user exits SLPR.

Common Linux Problems  
Problem  
Possible Cause and Solution  
How do I specify the IP  
address of my SMB  
server?  
It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialog of the  
configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing system.  
Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow to specify the IP  
address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to browse  
the resource with Samba in order to be able to print.  
Some documents come  
out as white pages when  
printing.  
Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with  
Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some known bugs  
when processing the PostScript output from some applications.  
Try upgrading to the latest version of CUPS (at least 1.1.9).  
Some RPM packages for most popular distributions are  
provided as a convenience with this Linux Printing Package.  
I have CUPS and some  
options (such as N-up)  
seem to be always  
enabled even though I  
don’t pick them in SLPR.  
There may be some local options defined in your  
~/.lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions  
command. These options will always be used if not overriden

Guidelines for Using Paper  
For best results, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Insure the paper is of good quality,  
and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent  
edges.  
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the  
label on the package.  
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the  
printer.

Notes:  
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types  
of thermography.  
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.  
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or  
preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1  
second).

Paper Specifications  
Printer and Paper Storage Environment  
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed  
operation.  
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be  
at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.  
Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses  
moisture rapidly.  
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the  
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to  
condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners  
remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened  
and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.  
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to  
increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs  
any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as  
paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This  
can cause paper jams.  
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be  
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long  
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which  
can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to  
large supplies of paper.  
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several  
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more  
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not  
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.  
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained  
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition  
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of  
45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be considered  
when evaluating the paper’s storage environment:  
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.  
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.  
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it  
tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer  
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount  
of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent  
unwanted moisture changes.

Paper Specifications  
Envelopes  
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary  
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within  
a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on  
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When  
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:  
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed  
90 g/m2 (24 lbs), otherwise, jamming may occur.  
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with  
less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl.  
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or  
otherwise damaged.  
• Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the  
heat and pressure of the printer.  
• Size: Use only envelopes within the following size ranges.

Note: You may experience some paper jams when using any  
media with a length of less than 127 mm (5 in.). This may be  
caused by paper that has been affected by environmental  
conditions. For optimum performance, insure you are storing and  
handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper  
Storage Environment” on page A.6.

Paper Specifications  
Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends  
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be  
more likely to wrinkle. Insure the seam extends all the way to  
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.  
Envelopes with  
Double Side Seams  
Correct  
Incorrect  
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one  
flap that folds over must use adhesive compatible with the heat  
and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips may cause  
wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even damage the  
fuser.

Notes:  
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm  
(0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.  
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.  
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.  
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,  
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during  
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.7.

Labels  
CAUTIONS:  
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended  
for laser printers.  
• To prevent jams, always use the face-up output slot.  
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print  
on a partial sheet of labels.  
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:  
• Adhesive: The adhesive material should be stable at  
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.  
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing  
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces  
between the labels, causing jams.  
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than  
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.  
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other  
indications of separation.  
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.10.  
Transparencies  
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand  
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.  
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only  
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.  
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.11.
