Paper Recommendations  
Loading Paper  
Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and  
cause a paper misfeed.  
When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with  
the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause  
them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.  
Set the paper as described below.  
• Tray 1: Print side facing down  
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing up  
• Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing down  
Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended  
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales  
or service representative.  
Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.  
Storing Paper  
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result  
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations  
are as follows:  
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.  
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.  
• Store on a flat surface.  
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.

Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.  
Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge  
going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across them.  
Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or  
print poorly.  
Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an enve-  
lope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to  
check print quality.

Loading Paper  
This describes how to load paper into the paper tray and bypass tray.  
Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and  
cause an injury.  
Loading Paper in Tray 1 and the optional paper feed unit  
The following example explains loading procedure for the standard paper tray  
(Tray 1). The same procedure can be used for the optional paper feed unit.  
Make sure paper is not stacked above the limit mark inside the tray. Misfeeds  
might occur.  
Do not put different types of paper in a single paper tray.  
Up to 500 sheets of paper can be loaded in the paper feed unit. This means  
a maximum of 1,600 sheets can be simultaneously loaded when two addition-  
al paper feed units are installed.  
A Lift the paper tray slightly, and then pull it out until it stops.  
B Lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer.

Changing the paper size  
Confirm that the setting of the paper size dial matches the paper size and feed  
direction of the paper in the tray, otherwise the printer might be damaged, or  
printing problems might occur.  
The following explanation uses the example of “Tray 1” for the paper tray.  
A Lift the paper tray slightly, and then pull it out until it stops. Adjust the  
paper size dial to match the size and feed direction of paper in the paper  
tray.  
If you want to use the paper size and feed direction that are not indicated  
on the paper size dial, set the dial to “p”. In this case, you should set the  
paper size using the control panel.  
B Lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer.  
C If you load paper larger than A4K or 81/2 × 11K, you should extend the  
tray as follows:  
You cannot load paper smaller than A4K or 81/2 × 11K, if the tray is ex-  
tended. In this case, return the tray to its standard length.

Replacing Consumables and Maintenance Kit  
Replacing the Toner Cartridge  
Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable  
and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.  
Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate  
collection site.  
If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them  
according to local regulations.  
Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an  
open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire.  
Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner cartridge out of reach of chil-  
dren.  
If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into  
a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.  
If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected  
area thoroughly with soap and water.  
If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large  
amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.  
If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of wa-  
ter. Consult a doctor if necessary.  
Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or  
replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected  
area thoroughly with soap and water.  
If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the  
toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.  
Replace the toner cartridge if the following message appears on the display:  
Replace  
Toner Cartridge  
Do not expose the toner cartridge to light for a long time. Do not leave the front  
cover open for a long time. If the toner cartridge is exposed to a light for a long  
time, the toner cartridge might be damaged and print quality might be re-  
duced.

Replacing Consumables and Maintenance Kit  
When handling toner cartridges, never stand them up on either end or position  
them upside down.  
Store toner cartridges in a cool dark place.  
Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density, num-  
ber of pages printed at a time, paper type and size, and environmental condi-  
tions such as temperature and humidity. Toner quality degrades over time.  
You may have to replace the toner cartridge prematurely. We recommend you  
prepare a new toner cartridge beforehand.  
A Open the front cover by pushing the front cover release button.  
B Be sure to put the toner cartridge on a stable, flat surface.

Cleaning the Printer  
Cautions to Take When Cleaning  
Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this  
manual. Some parts of the machine are at a high voltage and could  
give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser systems, di-  
rect (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause  
serious eye damage. When the machine needs to be checked, adjust-  
ed, or repaired, contact your service representative.  
Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There  
is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the ma-  
chine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.  
When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could  
be very hot.  
Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.  
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a  
soft, wet cloth that is wrung out well. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime,  
use a neutral detergent, and then wipe over with a well-wrung wet cloth, dry  
wipe, and let it dry.  
To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemi-  
cals, such as benzine and thinner, or spray insecticide on the printer.  
If there is dust or grime inside the printer, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.  
You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean  
away any dust and grime from the plug and outlet before reconnecting. Accu-  
mulated dust and grime pose a fire hazard.

Cleaning the Registration Roller  
If the registration roller is dirty, a misfeed might occur. In this case, clean the roll-  
er as follows:  
Be sure to turn off the power and wait for about 30 minutes before  
cleaning the registration roller. Not waiting for the printer to cool  
down can result in a burn.  
The inside of this printer becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled “v”  
(indicating a hot surface). Touching these parts will result in burns.

appear on printed OHP transparencies.  
A Turn off the power, and then unplug the power cable.  
B Open the front cover by pushing the front cover release button.  
C Pull the toner cartridge out of the printer by holding the grips of the car-  
tridge.

printing is not performed  
with PDF Direct Print.  
When using PDF Direct Print, printout requires paper set within the  
PDF file. When a message indicating a paper size appears, either  
place the indicated size in the paper tray, or perform Form Feed.  
Also, if [Sub Paper Size] in the System Menu is set to [On], printing is  
performed assuming letter size and A4 size to be the same size.  
For example, When a PDF file set to A4 size paper is printed using  
PDF Direct Print and letter size paper is installed in the paper tray,  
the file will print out. This applies similarly to the opposite case.

Removing Misfed Paper  
An error message appears if a paper misfeed occurs. The error message gives  
the location of the misfeed.  
Misfed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your  
hands or clothes.  
Toner on prints made after removing misfed paper may be loose (inadequate-  
ly fused). Make a few test prints until smudges no longer appear.  
Do not forcefully remove misfed paper, as it will tear. Torn pieces remaining  
inside the printer will cause further misfeeds and possibly damage the printer.
