Page 40: General Guidelines
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.
Page 41: Recommended Paper
Item Specification Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2° Moisture content 4 % to 6 % Direction of grain Long grain Pulp content 80 % or more Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper such as transparency, labels, vellum, cardstock, envelope, coated and thick, the MP (Multi-Purpose) tray must be used.
Page 42: Selecting The Right Paper
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.
Page 43: Basis Weight
Smoothness The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.) Basis Weight Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²).
Page 44: Moisture Content
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.
Page 45: Special Paper
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier is usually correctly packaged. Note You might see the printer emitting steam in the area around the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue printing.
Page 46 Transparency Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4). The table below lists the specifications for transparency: Item Specification Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F) Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils) Material...
Page 47 Labels Labels must be fed from the MP tray or optional paper feeder PF-510. 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 48 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 Rough edges on the back (those are Edge...
Page 49: Thick Paper
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.
Page 50 IMPORTANT When printing on coated paper in very humid environments, ensure that the paper is kept dry as moisture may cause sheets to stick together when they are fed into the printer. Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-510) If you are going to load non standard paper in the optional paper feeder PF-510, cut out the blank section of the...
Page 51: Paper Type
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.
Page 52: Loading Paper
Loading Paper The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray. Loading Paper into the Cassette Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer.
Page 53 Pull the release lever of both side guides and slide to the desired Paper Guides paper size. Release Lever Pull the release lever and slide the paper stopper to the desired paper Release Lever size. Paper Stopper When using non-standard size paper, move the paper guides and paper stopper all the way out, insert the paper, then adjust the paper guides and paper stopper to the size of the paper.
Page 54 Insert the paper cassette into the slot in the printer. Push it straight in as far as it will go. There is a paper gauge on the right side of the front of the paper cassette to indicate the remaining paper supply. When paper is exhausted, the pointer will go down to the level of (empty).
Page 55 Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are marked on the MP tray. For standard paper sizes, slide the guides to the position marked correspondingly. Align the paper with the paper guides and insert as far as it will go. Note Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the inside of the MP tray.

Page 120: Network (Network Settings)
Network (Network settings) This printer supports TCP/IP and TCP/IP (IPv6) protocols. IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol. This printer routinely uses the TCP/IP (IPv4) protocol, but provides a separate setting for the next- generation IP, IPv6. TCP/IP (IPv4) uses 32-bit IP addresses, but the rapid growth in the number of Internet users has resulted in a shortage of IP addresses.
Page 121 TCP/IP (Enable/Disable TCP/IP) The TCP/IP system refers to the Internet system, which has a 5-layer structure consisting of the interface layer, link layer, network (IP) layer, transport (TCP/UDP) layer and application layer. The interface layer is a key layer in the TCP/IP system that provides an abstracted interface that is not dependent on the link (communication line: frame relay or Ethernet, etc.) to the IP module (IP layer).
Page 122 DHCP (DHCP setting) DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol that assigns the information required to establish a network connection when a host attempts to connect to the network (Internet). This information includes the IP address of the local node and the default router (the router in the host's own network system) and the DNS (Domain Name System) server.
Page 123 Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting) The subnet mask is a way of augmenting the network address section of an IP address. A subnet mask represents all network address sections as 1 and all host address sections as 0. The number of bits in the prefix indicates the length of the network address.

Page 125 IPv6 Setting (TCP/IP IPv6 settings) This selects the settings for 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.
Page 126 RA(Stateless) (RA (Stateless) setting) The IPv6 router communicates (transmits) information such as the global address prefix using ICMPv6. This information is the Router Advertisement (RA). ICMPv6 stands for Internet Control Message Protocol, and is a IPv6 standard defined in the RFC 2463 "Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Specification".
