For instructions on installing individual options, refer to the documentation included with the option. Some options are explained in the following sections. Faceup Output Tray PT-4100 Expansion Memory SD Memory Card SDHC Memory Card...
Appendix Expansion Memory Modules The printer's main controller board has a memory slot into which you can plug in optional memory modules (dual in line memory modules). You can increase the printer's memory up to 1280 MB by plugging in the optional memory modules. Note A 256 MB memory module is already installed at the factory.
Appendix Pull out the main controller board gently. Main Controller Board Remove the memory module from its package. Aligning the cutouts of the memory module with the matching keys of the socket, carefully plug the memory module into the memory socket until it clicks in place.

Appendix General Description of Options SD/SDHC Memory Card The printer is equipped with a slot for an SDHC memory card with a maximum size of 32 GB, and an SD memory card with a maximum size of 2 GB. An SD/SDHC memory card is useful for storing fonts, macros, and overlays. This enables high-speed printing of multiple copies using an electric sort function.
Page 284
Appendix SSD (HD-6/HD-7) With SSD installed in the printer, received data can be rasterized and stored on this SSD. This enables high-speed printing of multiple copies using an electric sort function. Also, you can use the Document Box functions. For details, refer to Document Box on page 5-1.

Appendix USB Memory USB memory is a type of simple, highly portable flash memory that plugs into the USB memory slot. Files stored in USB memory can be printed by plugging the USB memory into the printer and then specifying the desired file names from the operation panel.
Appendix Other Options Data Security Kit(E) The security kit overwrites data which is no longer necessary to make it difficult to restore it. Also, when data is stored on the SSD, it encrypts the data then writes it. It is not possible to decode (read) anything other than in normal outputs and operations, so this provides greater security should it become necessary.
Appendix Paper General Guidelines The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Appendix Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper such as labels, vellum, cardstock, envelope and thick, the MP (Multi-Purpose) tray must be used. For information on how to set paper sizes, refer to MP Tray Set. (MP tray settings) on page 4-30.
Appendix Selecting the Right Paper This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper. Condition Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds. Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment.
Appendix Moisture Content Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics. The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance.
Appendix Special Paper The following types of special paper can be used: Paper Type to be Used Paper Type to be Selected Overhead projector transparencies Transparency Rough paper Rough Thin paper Vellum Label Labels Recycled paper Recycled Preprinted paper Preprinted Bond paper Bond Postcards...
Page 296
Appendix Labels Labels must be fed from the MP tray. The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine. Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram.
Page 297
Appendix Postcards Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams. Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when Rough the paper is cut).
Appendix Thick Paper Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.
Appendix Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operation panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.
Appendix Specifications Note Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Glossary TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) TCP/IP is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network. TCP/IP (IPv6) TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4). IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.
