  • Page 28: Setting Up The Output Tray

    Setting up the output tray Make sure that you have enough room for the output tray and that it is easy to access. O SET UP THE OUTPUT TRAY 1. Remove the adhesive tape that holds the output tray against the printer.

  • Page 29: Installing The Toner Cartridges

    2. Lower the tray to the operating position. Installing the toner cartridges The toner cartridges that are shipped with the printer are starter cartridges. They are installed in exactly the same manner as the optional cartridges; the only difference is that the starter cartridges have less toner. The page life expectancy is 3,000 pages, based on a 5% image area.
  • Page 30 2-4 Printer Setup 3. Open the right side door. Do not leave the right side door open for more than 1 minute; the AUTION imaging unit will be exposed to light and could be damaged. 4. Insert the toner cartridge in the appropriately labeled slot.

  • Page 31: Loading Media

    6. When you have installed all the toner cartridges, go to step 7. 7. Close the right side door. Loading media The printer is shipped with one media tray (either Letter Paper or A4 Paper) installed—but it capable of using five different trays as shown in the following table.
  • Page 32 2-6 Printer Setup O LOAD PAPER OR TRANSPARENCIES 1. Pull the media tray out of the printer. 2. Remove all packaging materials from inside the media tray; refer to the instruction sheet attached to the tray. 3. Push down on the metal plate until it clicks, locking it in place.

  • Page 33: Connecting The Printer To A Computer

    Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the media, which can result in a smudged print. Reusing media that has been fed through the printer once (for example, after jams) can reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.

  • Page 34: Using A Parallel Interface Cable

    The actual connector on the computer may differ depending on the manufacturer of the computer. If the cable is connected to the PC via a printer buffer or selector, the printer may not print. 3. Connect the power cord to the printer’s AC inlet and to an AC outlet.
  • Page 35 The READY indicator on the printer starts flashing and “Initializing” is displayed on the printer’s control panel. After approximately 5 minutes, the printer’s READY indicator is lit and “Ready” is displayed on the printer’s control panel. The printer is ready for printing.

  • Page 37 You should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with one-sided printing. For details, see page 156. ETTING MEDIA THICKNESS SWITCH Because the printer accommodates various media weights from the multi-purpose tray, media thickness can be manually selected for the most reliable paper-picking. Follow these steps: 1.

    SHIELDED WISTED • With the printer turned off, connect the STP cable from the Token Ring MAU to the DB-9 STP connector on the Token Ring card. Parallel cable connection In addition to receiving print jobs over the network, the printer can accept print jobs directly from an IBM compatible computer through its high-speed, Centronics compatible parallel port.

  • Page 50: Setting Up Tcp/Ip Printing

    The printer supports the lpr protocol for printing over TCP/IP networks. Network users submit print jobs to a named printer. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.

  • Page 51: Setting Up The Printing Environment

    The lpr protocol is a printer spooling system. It is a set of programs that accepts printing requests from many users on a network, routes them to the proper print server (in this case, the Ci1000), and accepts requests to display a queue’s status or to remove jobs from a queue.
  • Page 52 In these examples, “ KX-P8420_PS ” is used as the printer name (the IP host name), and “ KX-P8420_PSq ” is used to indicate the Ci1000 Print queue. Since the printer supports only one TCP/IP ( lpr ) connection at a time, you can use the same name for the hostname and the queuename.
  • Page 53 files other than their own. It is possible to set up to two additional printer entries, one with the rp name and one with the name xjhold . The rp name indicates the Ci1000 queue xjdirect to which jobs are sent when you print to the named printer.
  • Page 54 Hold queues ( rp name: xjprint and xjhold ), they can only receive print jobs over the Direct connection. Use the rp name xjdirect if your Ci1000 has no hard disk, or is configured with less than 32MB of memory.

  • Page 55: Verifying The Tcp/Ip Network Connection

    Before a device on a TCP/IP network can send print jobs to the printer, the printer must be given a valid IP address, as well as a gateway address and subnet mask, if applicable. The IP address is used on all TCP/IP networks and must always be assigned before the printer can be verified across the network.

  • Page 56: Setting Up Tcp/Ip Clients For Printing

    If the printer is being added to an existing network, each TCP/IP client is already running TCP/IP client software. The Ci1000 supports TCP/IP client software on UNIX workstations, PC compatibles, and Macintosh computers. With Macintosh computers, however, it is easiest to use the built-in AppleTalk protocol to communicate directly with the printer.

    To access Fiery WebTools, enter the IP address or DNS name of the Ci1000 as a URL in the Internet browser. For more information, see p..
  • Page 58 On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based variant, use the lprm command to remove jobs from the queue. To remove job number 123 from the print queue of your Ci1000 named printer , you would type: lprm -P<printername> <job #…>...

  • Page 59: Setting Up Ipx (Novell) Printing

    _direct The extensions must be all lowercase and in English. When the Ci1000 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Direct to Direct.

    • The name of the NetWare print server. This name is used for communication between the printer and the NetWare file server. • The name to assign to the Ci1000 Direct, Print or Hold queue. If you are defining a Hold queue, the last five characters must be ‘_hold’. You need to set up at least one print queue on the NetWare server for jobs that will be printed by the printer.
