Paper Handling

This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print

materials and loading them into your machine.

Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain

paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print

materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.

See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3. To get the best

possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting Print Materials

• Loading Paper

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the

paper adjusters of the tray.

• Verifying an Output Location

• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m bond) for the tray with

multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m

bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page

feeding.

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and

produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper

affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

CAUTION: Using print materials that dose not conform to the

specifications listed on page 10.2 may cause problems that

may require service. This service is not covered by the

warranty or service agreements.

3.1

Paper Handling

To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to

prolonged sunlight.

Guidelines for Paper and Special

Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special

material, keep these guidelines in mind:

Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser

printers.

Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or

have any torn edges.

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with

the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on

page 10.3.

• For labels:

Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing

temperature of 200 ^oC (392 ^oF) for 0.1 second.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn

paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material

between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off

during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed

adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.

• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print

quality.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a

texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may

occur.

Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more

than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass

through the machine.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to

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 it away from

moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle

or curl.

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing

sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.

Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:

Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other

custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer.

The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the

maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 C

and 30 C (59 F to 86 F). The relative humidity should

be between 10 % and 70 %.

• During storage, you should use a moisture-proof wrap,

such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and

moisture from contaminating your paper.

Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you

want to print in landscape mode, make this selection

through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first

may cause a paper jam.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the

manual tray or the tray to avoid paper jams.

Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or

5 in. (127 mm) long.

• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in

laser printers.

• For preprinted paper:

• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and

label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they

print out.

Letterheads 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

200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.

• For envelopes:

Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well

creased folds.

Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not

adversely affect any printer rollers.

Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-

proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-

adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

Before you load preprinted paper as forms and

letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During

Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers.

Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they

are undamaged and are not stuck together.

• Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of

these types of paper could result in chemical smells and

could damage your machine.

Do not feed stamped envelopes.

• For transparencies:

Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the

machine.

Do not leave them in the tray for long periods of time.

Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty

printing.

To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them

carefully.

3.2

Paper Handling

NOTES:

Loading Paper

• When you print more than 20 envelopes in succession, print

speed may be reduced.

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure

trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while

a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Paper

T y pe, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1 for

acceptable paper size and capacity for the tray.

• If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the

paper around and try again.

• Manually loading paper and pressing Start to start feeding is

only available with PC printing.

• Because the Manual Feed mode does not print jobs

automatically and continuously, incoming faxes are stored in

memory instead of printing immediately. (Only for SCX-

4521F)

• When you press Stop/Clear in the Manual Feed mode, the

print job in progress is canceled.

Using the Tray

The tray holds 150 sheets of paper.

Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about

loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.3.

To use the special material like envelope, label and card,

remove the stack of plain paper and load one sheet of special

material into the tray.

Verifying an Output Location

Using the Manual Tray

The machine has a paper output location which holds 50 sheets

of paper. The output tray collects printed paper face down, in

the order in which the sheets were printed.

When you print a document using your PC and want to check

the print quality after each page is printed, load the paper in

the manual tray and select Manual Feed for Source from the

software application.

Load the print material in the tray with the print side up.

NOTE: Pull the paper output extension not to drop the printed

paper.

Push the print material firmly into the manual tray.

Adjust the paper guide against the print material without

bending the material.

Select Manual Feed for Source from the software

application, and then select the correct paper size and

type. For details, see Software User’s Guide

Operate printing.

The display shows “Add Paper & Press Start” then press

Start on the machine to start feeding.

Printing is started.

If you have multiple pages to be printed, the display shows

“Add Paper & Press Start” again. Load the next sheet and

telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack.

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which

enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several

different telephone numbers. The particular number someone

uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which

consist of various combinations of long and short ringing

sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who

answer telephones for many different clients and need to know

which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the

phone.

Receiving Faxes in the Memory

Since your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive

faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a

fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores

incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying

or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.

Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax

machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be

answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing

pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax

call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the

extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the

EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring

Pattern Detection at any time.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,

Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line

by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern

Detection, you will need another telephone line at your

location, or someone available to dial your fax number from

outside.

Cleaning Your Machine

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality

problems occur.

CAUTIONS:

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong

substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to

touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner

cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality

problems.

CAUTIONS:

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it

to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of

paper, if necessary.

Cleaning the Outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You

can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to

let any water drip onto or into the machine.

• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use

the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

Cleaning the Inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can

accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print

quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning

the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.

Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for

the machine to cool down.

8.2

Maintenance

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled

toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge

cavity.

Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass

until it is clean and dry.

White bar

ADF glass

Document

cover

Document

glass

Wipe the underside of the white document cover and white

bar until it is clean and dry.

Close the document cover.

CAUTION: Do not touch the black transfer roller inside the

machine.

Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the

cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if

dirt turns the white cotton black.

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following

guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until

ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty

does not cover damage caused by using a refilled

cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your

machine.

Reinsert the manual tray, toner cartridge and close the

door.

Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose

it to light for more than a few minutes.

Saving toner

To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control

panel; see “T o ner Save Mode” on page 2.11. The button

backlight turns on. Using this feature extends the life of the

toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also

reduces print quality.

Cleaning the Scan Unit

Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible

copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of

each day and during the day, as needed.

Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with

water.

Open the document cover.

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner

that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5%

coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000

pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine

lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be

different depending on the print density of the page you print.

If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the

cartridge more often.

8.3

Maintenance

Redistributing Toner

CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner

cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching

this area.

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white

streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning

message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print

quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In

some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after

you have redistributed the toner.

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door. Make sure

that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed,

printing error may occur when you print.

Open the front door.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When the display on the control panel shows the warning

message, “[Toner Empty]” the toner cartridge has run out but

continues printing. For the SCX-4521F, incoming faxes are

saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to

be replaced.

NOTE: You can set the machine to ignore the “[Toner Empty]”

message and to continue printing incoming faxes. See

“Ignoring the T o ner Empty Message (Only for SCX-4521F

)” on

page 8.5.

Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new toner

cartridge. See “Installing the T o ner Cartridge” on page 2.2.

Setting the Notify Toner Option

(Only for SCX-4521F)

Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.

If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On”, your machine

automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer

to notify them. The fax number is preset by your dealer when

you bought your machine.

Notification cases are like this:

• When the toner cartridges is low.

• When critical error occured at your machine.

(Error cases: CRU Fuse Error, Low Heat Error, LSU Error.)

• When notification day and notification pages that are

preset by your dealer have passed.

Press Menu on the control panel until “Maintenance”

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system.

Open MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in

Printers configuration window to look at the list of

available printers. Make sure that your machine is

displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new

printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional

components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same

I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous

access of different “consumer” application to the same

MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one

of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the

device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device

busy” response. This can usually happen while starting

scan procedure, and appropriate message box displays.

To identify the source of the problem, you should open

MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to

your scanner. MFP port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds

to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /

dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /

dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4

respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected

port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some

other application. If this is the case, you should wait for

completion of the current job or should press Release

port button, if you are sure that the present port's owner

is not functioning properly.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers

configuration and select your machine on the printers list.

Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its

status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the

Start button. After that normal operation of the printer

should be restored. The "stopped" status might be

activated when some problems in printing occurred. For

instance, this could be an attempt to print document

when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.

NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials

with a length of less than 5 in. (127 mm). For optimum

performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the

paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment”

on page 10.5.

10.4

Specifications

The paper storage environment should be properly maintained

to ensure optimum 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 Specifications

Category

Specifications

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

Flat within 0.02 in. (5 mm)

Cut with sharp blades with no visible fray.

Curl in ream

Cut edge conditions

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to

rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the

machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap

only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s

operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Must not scorch, melt, offset or release hazardous

emissions when heated to 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1

second.

Fusing compatibility

Envelopes

Grain

Long grain

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:

Moisture content

Smoothness

4 % ~ 6 % by weight

100 ~ 400 Sheffield

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not

exceed 20 lb (75 g/m²bond) or jamming may occur.

Paper Output Capacity

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat

with less than 0.25 in. (6 mm) curl, and should not

contain air.

Output Location

Capacity

50 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²bond) paper

Face-down output tray

• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked or

otherwise damaged.

• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are

compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine.

Paper Storage Environment

Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed

operation.

• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following

size ranges.

Ideally, the machine 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.

Minimum

Maximum

8.5 x 14 in.

3 x 5 in.

(76 x 127 mm)

(216 x 356 mm)

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.

NOTES:

• Load only one sheet of paper at a time to print envelopes.

• You may experience some paper jams when using any media

with a length less than 5.5 in. (140 mm). This may be

caused by paper that has been affected by environmental

conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are

storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to

“Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.5.

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.

10.5

Specifications

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Labels

Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both

ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style

may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the

way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

CAUTIONS:

• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

recommended for laser printers.

• To prevent serious jams, always load one sheet of paper at a

time to print labels.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and

never print on a partial sheet of labels.

Correct

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at

180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing

between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces

between the labels, causing serious jams.

Incorrect

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more

than 5 in. (13 mm) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or

other indications of separation.

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one

flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with

the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips

might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even

damage the fuser.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand

180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

Envelope Margins

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial

#10 or DL envelope.

Type of Address

Return address

Minimum

0.6 in. (15 mm)

2 in. (51 mm)

Maximum

2 in. (51 mm)

3.5 in. (90 mm)

Delivery address

NOTES:

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than

0.6 in. (15 mm) from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams

meet.

Envelope Storage

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.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard

disk drive (HDD) 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 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.
