Paper Handling Precautions

To ensure optimum print results, take care when handling paper before and after printing.

Loading Precautions

Use compatible paper.

Load paper with the print side face down in the paper trays.

Load paper with the paper grain parallel to the feed direction.

Do not load paper of different types at the same time.

To load a different type of paper than that already loaded, first remove all currently loaded paper.

Do not stack paper over the limit mark.

Curled paper may jam. Straighten any curls before loading.

Before loading envelopes, make sure their edges are sharply creased by rubbing the edges with a pen or

similar object.

Paper

Paper Storage Precautions

Do not store paper in humid places.

Do not store paper in direct sunlight.

Store paper flat.

Store unused paper in the original package.

Paper Type Precautions

Plain paper

Use the bypass tray to print on paper heavier than 157 g/m (297.6 lb.).

The only type of A6 (105 × 148 mm(4.2 × 5.9 inches)) paper that can be loaded in tray 1 is that of

157 g/m (297.6 lb.).

After printing, some types of paper take longer than others to dry. With duplex printing, the ink may

smear or rub off. Using the printer driver, specify how long to wait for the prints to dry between print-

ing each side of a duplex sheet. For details, see the printer driver Help.

Inkjet plain paper

When printing on inkjet plain paper, in the printer properties dialog box, click [Inkjet Plain Paper]. This

allows printing at higher quality.

In the printer properties dialog box, when [Inkjet Plain Paper] is selected, only one-sided printing is

possible. To print on both sides of a sheet, click [Plain].

Use as soon as possible after opening the package.

Glossy paper

The glossy side (or the pearl side) of the paper is the printing surface.

Handle paper by the edges so as not to dirty or leave fingerprints on the print side.

Make sure that sheets are not badly bent or scratched, and the print side is not damaged.

Only one-sided printing is possible.

Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried.

If you want to stack prints soon after they are printed, we recommend inserting a moisture-absorbent

sheet, like copy paper, between prints.

Make sure that the output tray has no more than twenty sheets stacked on it.

Glossy paper is designed for photograph printing. For graphics, we recommend plain or inkjet plain

paper.

When using these sheets, see the instructions supplied with them.

To print photographs or other high-resolution images, set [Print Quality] to [Quality priority].

Inkjet transparency

Identify the print side by orientating the sheet vertically, so that the notched corner is at the bottom left.

The side facing you is the print side.

Load one sheet at a time. If multiple sheets are loaded, the leading edge of transparencies may get

scratched.

Handle sheets by the edges so as not to dirty or leave fingerprints on the print side.

Make sure that sheets are not badly bent or scratched, and the print side is not damaged.

Paper

Only one-sided printing is possible.

Remove sheets from the output tray individually, as they come out.

Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried.

If you want to stack prints soon after they are printed, we recommend inserting a moisture-absorbent

sheet, like copy paper, between prints.

Ink takes time to dry. To prevent sheets from sticking together, remove them from the output tray individ-

ually, as they come out.

If printing comes out streaked, adjust the paper feed level..

Use at 15-25°C (59-77°F) and 30-70% humidity.

Use as soon as possible after opening the package.

When using these sheets, see the instructions supplied with them.

Envelopes

Up to 20 envelopes can be loaded in tray 1.

If the envelopes bulge, flatten them.

Load envelopes carefully, because the printable area depends on the orientation.

Set the lever to the rear position before printing.

Thick paper

Use tray 1 to load paper lighter than 157 g/m (297.6 lb.).

You can insert paper with weights up to 255 g/m (485.0 lb.) into the bypass tray.

Insert paper with the print side face up into the bypass tray.

Cautions to Observe After Printing

Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. Before handling, make sure printed sheets

have fully dried. otherwise, the ink may smudge.

The ink may smear depending on the type of image. If this happens, set the envelope selector to the rear position

Non-compatible Paper

Check if the paper is compatible.

Do not use paper that is:

wrinkled, folded, or damaged

wavy at the ends

curled

absorbent

dry and conducive to static buildup

already printed on (such as the back of preprinted paper)

preprinted (unless specified)

heat sensitive/non-carbon

too thick or thin

pre-stitched

glued or tacked

Paper

stapled or clipped together

dark in places

irregular in length and proportion

Even if compatible paper types are used, print quality may be lower than usual or paper jams may occur if the paper was improperly stored.

Head-cleaning

Follow the procedure below to perform a normal print-head cleaning. Perform a head cleaning when a particu-

lar colour cannot be printed or print images are blurred. Head cleaning consumes ink.

When the Print cartridge is empty, replace it instead of performing a print-head cleaning. After a Print cartridge

is replaced, a print-head cleaning will be automatically performed.

1. Slide the envelope selector to the forward position.

2. Open the printer properties dialog box.

4. Click [Head-cleaning].

5. In the [Select print-head(s)] area, select a colour.

6. Click [Next >].

7. Click [Next >].

Do not perform another operation before cleaning is complete.

8. Click [Finish].

If the condition of the print-heads is not satisfactory, perform head cleaning again. However, the heads may remain clogged and the printer

may not print properly even if you clean the heads multiple times. If this happens, perform a full print head cleaning. If there is still no

improvement, turn the printer off, and then leave it turned off for at least 8 hours. This may solve the problem.

Head-flushing

Follow the procedure below to perform a thorough print-head cleaning. Since this consumes more ink than a nor-

mal head cleaning does, perform this when the problem persists after performing a normal head cleaning.

When the Print cartridge is empty, replace it instead of performing a print-head cleaning. After a Print cartridge

is replaced, a print-head cleaning will be automatically performed.

1. Slide the envelope selector to the forward position.

2. Open the printer properties dialog box.

Troubleshooting

Print Results Are Not Satisfactory

If there is a problem with the quality of the printing such as dirty or faint and patchy prints, first check the condi-

tion of the printer.

Checking the Condition of the Printer

Have you printed the nozzle check test pattern?

Print the nozzle check test pattern to check whether the print head nozzles are all ejecting ink properly, and, if

necessary, carry out head cleaning or head-flushing. The procedure is as follows:

1. Print the nozzle check test pattern.

2. If the printed test pattern has defects, carry out head cleaning, and then print the nozzle check test pattern

again.

3. Repeat the steps of head cleaning and printing the nozzle check test pattern several times, and then check

whether the defects in the printed test pattern have gone.

4. If the printed test pattern still has defects, carry out head-flushing, and then print the nozzle check test pat-

tern again.

See p.71 "Nozzle Check" and p.72 "Head-cleaning".

Does the envelope selector setting match?

Set the envelope selector according to the type of paper. For envelopes, set the lever to the rear position ; for

everything else, set the lever to the forward position . See p.160 "Printing on Various Paper Types".

Has the printer not been used for a long time?

The ink may be dry or the nozzles of the print-heads may be clogged. Print the nozzle check test pattern and

clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.71 "Nozzle Check" and p.72 "Head-cleaning".

Have the print-heads been aligned?

If the image is fuzzy or lines are doubled, align the print-heads. If the problem persists, print the nozzle check test

pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.73 "Adjust Print-head Positions", p.71 "Nozzle Check",

and p.72 "Head-cleaning".

Is there a problem with the printer's location?

Make sure that the printer is level. Place the printer in a location where it will not be subject to shaking or exces-

sive force.

Printing Is Uneven, Too Heavy, or Too Light

If there is a problem with the quality of the printing such as uneven printing or an inappropriate amount of ink

being used, the following questions should be addressed.

Is an old Print cartridge being used?

Print cartridges should be opened before their expiration date and used within six months of being opened.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Troubleshooting

Does the paper type setting match?

Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver matches the type of paper loaded. See p.160 "Printing

on Various Paper Types".

Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?

Check which side should be printed on when using inkjet plain paper. If you print on the wrong side, the quality

of the printing may be lower and the inside of the printer may get dirty. See p.27 "Paper Handling Precautions".

Dirty or Blotted Prints

If prints are dirty or blotted, the following questions should be addressed.

Is the paper being used too thick or thin?

Check if the paper is compatible. If extremely thick or thin paper is used, the print-heads will rub the paper and

ink will leak. See p.25 "Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities".

Have you touched the printed side of paper?

Avoid touching the printed side of paper. Particularly, avoid touching glossy paper and inkjet transparency that

have just been printed because these require longer than normal to dry. Remove them one at a time from the out-

put tray without touching the printed side, and then let them dry fully. See p.27 "Paper Handling Precautions".

Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?

Some paper cannot be loaded lengthwise depending on the size of the paper. Check the orientation in which

the paper is loaded. See p.25 "Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities".

Is a genuine Print cartridge being used?

Using a cartridge other than a genuine Print cartridge or using a cartridge refilled with ink will lower the print

quality and could cause a breakdown. Use a genuine Print cartridge. See p.123 "Recommended Consum-

ables".

Are you printing densely coloured images on both sides of paper?

When a large amount of ink is used to completely cover a side, one-sided printing is recommended.

Checking the Printer Driver Setting

If the condition of your printer is no problem, check the printer driver settings.

Changing the Printer Driver Setting

You may eliminate certain problems by changing the printer driver settings as described below:

Cannot print certain data properly when using a certain application, or cannot print image data properly.

In the [Print Quality] area, select [Quality priority], and then print. See p.172 "Printing Using Preset Print Quality

printing only] check box.

How can I prevent ink transfer between printed sheets during duplex printing?

On the [Printer Configuration] tab, in the [Sheet-dry Print Delay...] dialog box, change [Print delay time:].

Colours Do Not Match the Displayed Image

If there are differences between colours of the print results and the displayed image, the following questions

should be addressed.

Has the hue of colours been adjusted?

Since printed colours and screen colours are produced by different methods, a colour printed and a colour dis-

played on a screen can have different hues even though they are the "same" colour. Use the colour matching

function to make the hue of printed colours and displayed colours closer. See p.176 "Changing the Colour Pro-

filing Pattern".

Has the nozzle check been performed?

The print-heads may be clogged and the amount of ink may not be able to be regulated. Print the nozzle check

test pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.72 "Head-cleaning" and p.71 "Nozzle Check".

Was printing done in black and white?

Check the colour setting of the application and the colour print setting of the printer driver. See p.172 "Printing in

Black and White".

Have the print quality settings been made?

In the [Print Quality] area, select [Quality priority], or [Speed priority], and then print. See p.172 "Printing Using

Preset Print Quality Settings".

Does the paper type setting match?

Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver matches the type of paper loaded. See p.160 "Printing

on Various Paper Types".

Have you tried printing with inkjet plain paper?

Try printing with inkjet plain paper. The print results should be clearer. See p.160 "Printing on Various Paper

Types".

Is bidirectional communication enabled?

If bidirectional communication is not enabled, the tone of printed images might differ from that of displayed

images. Establish bidirectional communication.

See p.152 "If Bidirectional Communication is Disabled". For details about bidirectional communication settings,

see the printer driver Help.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Troubleshooting

Positions Do Not Match the Displayed Image

If the position of printed items differs from the position of displayed items, the following questions should be

addressed.

Have the settings for page layout been made?

Check whether page layout settings have been made with the application.

Does the paper size setting match?

Make sure that the paper size selected in the [Printout paper size:] list of the printer properties dialog box

matches the size of the paper loaded.

Does the envelope selector setting match?

Set the envelope selector according to the type of paper. For envelopes, set the lever to the rear position ; for

everything else, set the lever to the forward position . See p.160 "Printing on Various Paper Types".

Have the print-heads been aligned?

When bidirectional printing is performed, and lines and characters are blurred, align the print-heads. If the prob-

lem persists, print the nozzle check test pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.73 "Adjust Print-

head Positions", p.71 "Nozzle Check", and p.72 "Head-cleaning".

Have you changed Printable area?

The problem may be solved by changing [Printable area:] in the printer properties dialog box. On the [Printer

Configuration] tab, set [Printable area:] to [Maximum].

Have you changed Print Quality?

In the [Print Quality] area, select the [Uni-directional printing only] check box. Note, however, that this will slow

printing down.

Is Binding Margins set correctly?

On the [Edit] tab, in the [Header/Footer/Adjust image position/Binding margins] dialog box, specify [Adjust

Image Position] correctly.

Out of Printable Temperature Range

Follow the procedure below to relocate the printer when the temperature inside the printer is inappropriate,

extremely high or low, for printing.

1. Turn off the power of the printer.

2. Place the printer in a 10 to 32°C (50 to 89.6°F) environment.

3. Turn on the power of the printer.

If humidity is more than 54%, the high end of the appropriate temperature range will be lower than usual.

Even after the power is turned on, the printer may remain in the standby mode until it acclimates to the room temperature. If this happens,

wait until the [Power] key stops blinking and stays lit.

For details about what conditions the printer can be used under (ambient temperature and humidity range), see "Checking the Installation

Area", Setup Handbook.

Printer Error

An error has occurred in the printer. Turn the power off once, and then turn it back on.

If the printer is relocated from a cold area to a warm area or the printer is placed in a room where the temperature varies greatly, condensa-

tion may form inside the printer causing errors. If this happens, an error might not clear if the power is turned off and then on. Wait until the

printer acclimates and the condensation disappears. This should take about one hour.

If the error still does not clear after the printer acclimates to room temperature and the power is turned back on, contact your sales or service

representative.

Cleaning

Clean the outside of the printer regularly to maintain the condition of the printer.

To avoid hazardous electric shock, do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this

manual. When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact your service representa-

tive.

Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock,

explosion or loss of sight.

To clean the exterior of the printer, wipe it with a soft, dry or damp cloth. If the dirt does not come off, wipe the

printer first with a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent, then with a damp cloth, and finally with a dry cloth.

Do not use volatile chemicals like benzene or thinner, or insecticides on the printer. Using these chemicals could deform, crack, or change the

colour of the printer.

When wiping the printer with a cloth moistened with detergent, be sure to wipe only the exterior.

Moving

The precautions when moving the printer a short distance or long distance are explained.

Moving a Short Distance

The precautions when moving the printer a short distance or long distance are explained.

The Machine weighs approximately 14.5 kg (32.0 lb.).

When moving the machine, hold the machine by the bottom below the two indentations. Lift the machine

slowly in order to avoid straining your body. Lifting the machine without sufficient strength or assistance

or handling it roughly and dropping it could cause an injury.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine,

you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.

When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

1. Turn the power off, disconnect the USB cable and Ethernet cable, and then unplug the power cord

from the wall outlet.

2. Lift the printer using the indents on the printer's sides near the base, and then slowly lift and move

the printer without tilting.

Moving a Long Distance

1. Turn the power off, disconnect the USB cable and Ethernet cable, and then unplug the power cord

from the wall outlet. Do not remove the print cartridges. Remove the paper.

2. Pack the printer for transport when moving it a long distance such as when changing office or

residence. Disconnect all cables, place the printer in the box it was in when purchased, and trans-

port in a level manner. After moving the printer, first remove and then reattach the network inter-

face board.

Maintaining

When Not Using for a Long Period of Time

If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable and Ethernet cable,

and then unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.

Be careful of the following:

The nozzles of the print-heads may dry out and become clogged. To prevent this, periodically print some-

thing. Even if you do not print anything, turn the printer on for a few minutes once a month.

If you do not use the printer for a long period of time, always check if the nozzles are clogged by printing

a nozzle check test pattern. Clean the print-heads as necessary, and then begin printing.

If you do not use the printer at least for 8 hours, printing may not be performed normally even if head clean-

ing is performed multiple times. If this happens, turn the power off and leave the printer alone for a while.

Then, turn the power on again and perform the nozzle check and head cleaning.

After head cleaning is performed multiple times, clogged ink will dissolve over time, and normal printing may become possible.

If there is no improvement after performing the steps above, contact sales or service representative.

Complementary Colours

It is helpful to understand the concept of complementary colours when adjusting colour balance. When two

primary colours of the primary colours of light (RGB) or primary colours of pigment (CMY) are mixed, the

resulting colour is the complimentary colour of the remaining primary colour. Red and cyan, green and

magenta, and blue and yellow are pairs of complementary colours.

Hints for Adjusting Colour Balance

The following methods are available to make a specific colour stronger: decreasing the colour's comple-

mentary colour or decreasing the other colours (that is, decreasing complementary colours relatively). A

combination of both methods can be used.

Printing

For example, to make red more vivid, make red stronger (by decreasing cyan) or decrease green and blue

(making magenta and yellow stronger). The more red is used, the brighter the image looks. This is useful to

adjust the colour of a dark image. On the contrary, the less green and blue are used, the duller the image

looks. Use this method to make a bright image dull.

For details about [Color balance:], see the printer driver Help.

Unauthorized Copy Control

To prevent unauthorized copying, you can embed patterns and text beneath the print. You do not need a special

paper to use this function. If a paper with text or image patterns is copied by a copier or a multi-function printer,

either the patterns are printed vividly or the copy is grayed out, so as to protect the information on the original

from leaking. To print with protection against unauthorized copying, you can use [Data security for copying] and

[Mask type:].

This function is designed to discourage copying confidential documents; it does not prevent unauthorized use of information.

The last blank page of booklet or duplex-printed documents that contain uneven page numbers can also be stamped. For example, when

booklet or duplex printing a fifteen-page document, the sixteenth page (blank) can also be stamped.

To not stamp the last page, on the [Printer Configuration] tab, set [Spool format:] to [RAW].

Using [Data security for copying]

You can embed a pattern by setting in the printer driver.

Setting [Data security for copying] in the Printer Driver

Monitoring and Configuring the Printer

When Using IPP with SmartDeviceMonitor for Client

When using IPP with SmartDeviceMonitor for Client, note the following:

The network printer can only receive one print job from SmartDeviceMonitor for Client at a time. While the

network printer is printing, another user cannot access it until the job is finished. In this case, SmartDevice-

Monitor for Client tries to access the network printer until the retry interval expires.

If SmartDeviceMonitor for Client cannot access the network printer and times out, it will stop sending the

print job. In this case, you should cancel the paused status from the print queue window. SmartDeviceMon-

itor for Client will resume access to the network printer. You can delete the print job from the print queue

window, but canceling a print job printed by the network printer might cause the next job sent from another

user to be incorrectly printed.

If a print job sent from SmartDeviceMonitor for Client is interrupted and the network printer cancels the job

because something went wrong, send the print job again.

Print jobs sent from another computer do not appear in the print queue window, regardless of protocol.

If various users send print jobs using SmartDeviceMonitor for Client to network printers, the printing order

might not be the same as that in which the jobs were sent.

An IP address cannot be used for the IPP port name because the IP address is used for the SmartDevice-

Monitor for Client port name.

When setting SSL, a protocol for encrypted communication, under environment which server authentifica-

tion is issued, enter "https://(printer's address)/ipp". Internet Explorer must be installed on your computer.

Use the highest version. Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher is recommended.

If the [Security Alert] dialog box appears when accessing the printer using IPP to create or configure an IPP

port, or when printing, install the certificate. To select the certificate store location when using Certificate

Import Wizard, click [Place all certificates in the following store], and then click [Local Computer] under

[Trusted Root Certification Authorities].
