You can load envelopes, labels, transparencies and paper of various sizes, from A6 to Legal, in all the paper trays including the two optional lower tray units. Paper tray 1 holds up to 150 sheets and paper tray 2 holds up to 550 sheets.
Page 20: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions To ensure the safe operation of your printer, make sure that you read this section thoroughly before use. This section describes the conventions used in the guide. Indicates warning that must be observed to prevent possible personal injury.
Page 21 The printer has ventilation grilles on the side and at the back of the machine. Ensure that the printer is installed no less than 300 mm (11.7 in.) from the wall on the right, 200 mm (7.8 in.) from the wall on the left, and 255 mm (9.9 in.) from the wall at the back. A poorly ventilated printer can cause excessive internal heat to build up and result in fire.
Page 22: Operating Environment
■Do not place the printer directly next to an air conditioner or heater, as this affects the temperature inside the printer and can cause damage. ■Do not use the printer when it is tilted at an angle of more than 5 degrees, as this may result in damage.
Page 23: Precautions For Power And Grounded/Earthed Connections
WARNING Use the printer within the specified power range. AC power:100-127 V AC ± 10% (90 V-140 V) or 220-240 V AC ± 10% (198 V-264 V) Frequency:50 ± 3Hz/60 ± 3Hz Ensure that the AC power cord connector and AC power outlet/socket are free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can, over time, draw non-negligible amounts of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire.
Page 24 CAUTION Do not plug or unplug the printer when it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire. When unplugging the printer, grasp the plug instead of the power cord. Forcibly pulling the AC power cord can damage it and cause a fire or an electric shock.
Page 25: Radio Interference
Radio Interference This printer may interfere with radio or television reception, causing flickering or distortion. This can be determined by turning the printer off and on. To correct interference, perform one or a combination of the following procedures: ■ Move the printer away from a TV and/or radio.
Page 26: Other Difficulties
If the paper is wrapped around the fuser or roller, or you cannot see the jam that you are trying to clear, do not attempt to remove the paper by yourself, as this may result in injuries or burns.
Page 27: Notes On Handling Consumables
When you remove the transfer roll cartridge from the printer because the waste toner collection box is full, do not attempt to empty the waste toner box and reuse the cartridge, as toner may spill inside the printer and cause damage.

Page 208: Quick Reference For Commands
This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n ... n). As parameters are effective within the single command syntax ESC i n ... n \, they don't apply in the bar code commands. If certain parameters are not given, they take the preset settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start ('b' or 'B') or the expanded character data start ('l' or 'L').
Page 209 = 's3' or 'S3 2.5: 1 This parameter selects the bar code style as above. When the EAN 8, EAN 13, UPC-A, Code 128 or EAN 128 bar code mode is selected, this bar code style parameter is ignored.
Page 210 = 'onnn' or 'Onnn' (nnn = 0 ~ 32767) Quiet zone is the space on both sides of the bar codes. Its width can be shown using the units that are set by the 'u' of 'U' parameter. (For the description of 'u' or 'U' parameter, see the next section.) The factory setting of the quiet-zone width is 1 inch.
Page 211 When CODE 39 is selected with the parameter 't0' or 'T0' Forty three characters '0' to '9', 'A' to 'Z', '-', ' . ', ' (space)', '$', ' / ', '+', and '%' can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters will cause a data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited.
Page 212 When Codebar is chosen with the parameter 't9' or 'T9' Characters '0' to '9', '-', ' . ', '$', '/', '+', ' : ' can be printed. Characters 'A' to 'D' can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be upper case or lower case. If there is no start-stop code, errors will happen.
Page 213 Expanded character data start n = 'l' or 'L' Data that follows 'l' or 'L' is read as expanded character data (or labeling data). Expanded character data must end with the ' \ ' code (5CH), which also ends this command.
