Page 17: Energy Saving Control Function
Energy Saving Control Function The device comes equipped with a Low Power Mode where energy consumption is reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used, as well as a Sleep where printer functions remain in a waiting state but power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the device within a set amount of time.
Page 18 Your sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types. Environmental benefits of "Power Management" To reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that automatically activates energy- saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time. Although it takes the machine a slight amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a significant reduction in energy consumption is possible.
Page 19: Symbols
Symbols The sections of this guide and parts of the machine marked with symbols are safety warnings meant to protect the user, other individuals and surrounding objects, and ensure correct and safe usage of the machine. The symbols and their meanings are indicated below. DANGER: Indicates that serious injury or even death will very possibly result from insufficient attention to or incorrect compliance with the related points.
Page 20: Installation Precautions
Installation Precautions Environment Caution Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine. Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt.
Page 21: Handling Of Plastic Bags
Power Supply/Grounding the Machine Warning Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock. Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Page 22: Precautions For Use
Precautions for Use Cautions when using the machine Warning Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside.
Page 23 If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with your service representative in regard to cleaning of internal parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of high humidity.

Page 32: General Guidelines
General Guidelines The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, 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. Selection of the right paper is important.
Page 33 Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For the paper smaller than JIS B6, postcards, and envelopes, the MP tray must be used. Paper cassette MP tray Minimum Minimum Paper Size Paper Size 105mm 70mm (4-1/8 inches)
Page 34: 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 35: Paper Weight Equivalence Table
Smoothness The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause blank spaces 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 36: 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 37: Special Paper
Special Paper The following types of special paper can be used: Paper type to be used Paper type to be selected Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²) Vellum Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) Thick Colored paper Color Recycled paper Recycled Overhead projector transparencies Transparency...
Page 38 Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top Top sheet (white sheet is printed on. The bond paper) adhesive layer consists of Adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called Carrier sheet the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until used.
Page 39 Envelopes Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first. Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.
Page 40 Recycled Paper Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper except for whiteness. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory. 2-10 Paper Handling...
Page 41: 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 44: Preparing The Paper
Preparing the Paper After removing paper from the packaging, fan through the sheets to separate them prior to loading. If using paper that has been folded or is curled, straighten it prior to loading. Failure to do so may result in a paper jam. IMPORTANT Ensure paper is not stapled and clips are removed.
Page 45 Adjust the paper length guide to the paper size required. If you are going to use paper that is longer than A4, pull out the extension paper cassette by pushing the release lever one by one and adjust it to the desired paper size. Load the paper in the cassette.
Page 46 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 left 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 47: Loading Paper Into Mp (Multi-Purpose) Tray
Loading Paper into MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray This machine can load up to 50 sheets of 11 × 8 1/2" or A4 paper (80 g/m²) into the MP tray. Pull the MP tray towards you until it stops. Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are marked on the MP tray.
Page 48: Paper Stopper
Note If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, for example, if the paper is already printed on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat. Correct Incorrect When loading envelope, place with the envelope flap closed and...
