Cleaning Your Machine To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. OTES • Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Page 191
OTES • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. • Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
Cleaning the Scan Unit Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed. Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
Redistributing Toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge When the display on the control panel shows the warning message, “Toner Empty” or “[Toner Empty] Replace Toner,” the machine stops printing. The incoming faxes are saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to be replaced.
Page 196
Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it horizontally 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping. OTES • If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water.
Close the front door. Setting the Notify Toner Option If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On,” your machine automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer to notify them that your machine requires a new toner cartridge when the toner cartridge needs to be replaced.
Cleaning the Drum If there are streaks or spots on your print, the OPC drum of the toner cartridge may require cleaning. Before starting the cleaning procedure, make sure that paper is loaded in the machine. Press Menu on the control panel until “Maintenance” appears on the top line of the display.
Ignoring the Toner Empty Message When the toner cartridge is nearly empty, the machine shows the “Toner Empty” or “[Toner Empty] Replace Toner” message and stops printing. In this case, this machine saves incoming faxes in memory. You can set the machine to ignore the “Toner Empty” message when it displays and to continue printing only for copy and printer mode, even though print quality is not optimal.
Setting E-mail Notification This feature allows you to know your machine’s status through your e-mail. To set E-mail Notification, you need to enter some information in the Web Image Monitor Type 103. In the Web Browser address bar, enter your machine’s IP address you assigned.

NSTALLING PTIONS Your machine has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user may have different requirements, however, there are several options available to enhance your machine’s capabilities. This chapter includes: • Installing Memory DIMM •...
Installing Memory DIMM Your machine has dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use this DIMM slot to install more memory option for the machine. OTES • Your machine has 32 MB of memory which can be expanded to 160 MB. Use only a Manufacture-approved DIMM, part numbers Memory Unit Type SA 32MB or Memory Unit Type SA 128MB.
Page 256
Remove the memory DIMM from its antistatic package. Locate the alignment notches on the bottom edge of each DIMM. Connection points Holding the memory DIMM by the edges, align the notches on the memory DIMM with the grooves at the top of the memory DIMM slot.
Replace the control board cover. Reconnect the power cord and printer cable, and turn the machine on. Removing a Memory DIMM Follow steps 1 through 2 on page B.2 to access the control board. Push the latches at both ends of the DIMM slot away from the DIMM.
Installing an Optional Tray You can increase the paper handling capacity of your machine by installing an optional Tray 2. This tray holds 250 sheets of paper. Turn the machine off and unplug all cables from the machine. Remove the packing material from the tray and remove the tape fixing the interface cable to the tray.
Page 259
Place the machine over the tray, aligning the feet on the machine with the positioners on the tray. Plug the interface cable of the tray into the connector on the back of the machine. Load paper in the tray. The instructions for loading paper in this tray are the same as for loading the standard paper tray.
Setting Tray 2 in the Printer Properties If you installed Tray 2 with your machine on, the machine does not recognize it. In this case, you need to set the tray in the printer properties window so that you can use it for PC printing. The procedure for setting the tray may differ depending on the selected printer driver.

Paper Specifications Overview Your machine accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture content, are important factors affecting the machine’s performance and the output quality.
Supported Sizes of Paper Paper Dimensions 8.5 x 11 in. Letter (216 x 279 mm) 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 in.) 7.25 x 10.5 in. Executive (191 x 267 mm) 8.5 x 14 in. Legal (216 x 356 mm) 216 x 330 mm Folio (8.5 x 13 in.)
Guidelines for Using Paper For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.
Paper Specifications Category Acid content Caliper Curl in ream Cut edge conditions Fusing compatibility Grain Moisture content Smoothness Paper Output Capacity Output Location Face-down output tray Face-up output slot Paper Storage Environment Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation. Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
