USER’S GUIDE
IMPORTANT - ForYour Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted
only into a standard three-pin power point which is properly earthed
through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords should not be used with the equipment. If it is
essential that an extension cord has to be used, it must be a three-pin
plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly
wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment
damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that
the power is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For
your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power,
consult a qualified electrician.
Operator Safety
This machine is considered a CDRH class 1 laser device, safe for
office/EDP use. The machine contains 5-milliwat, 700 – 800 nanometer
wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye
contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety
precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent
any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Caution
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
xvi
REGULATIONS
Disconnect Device
This printer must be installed near a power outlet that is easily
accessible. In case of emergencies, you must disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet to shut off the power completely.
Geräuschemission / Acoustic Noise Emission (For Germany Only)
Lpa < 70dB (A) DIN 45635-19-01-KL2
Wiring Information (For U.K. only)
Important
If the mains plug supplied with this printer is not suitable for your
socket outlet, remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an
appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is intended to take a
fuse then fit the same rating fuse as the original.
If a moulded plug is severed from the mains cord then it should be
destroyed because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if engaged in a
live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child might find it!
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to
BS1362 with the same rating as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.
WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE EARTHED
xvii
USER’S GUIDE
The wires in the mains cord are colored in accordance with the
following code :
GREEN ANDYELLOW: EARTH
BLUE
BROWN
: NEUTRAL
: LIVE
The colors of the wires in the mains lead of this printer may not
correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your
plug.
If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows.
Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage
the colored insulation of the wires inside.
xviii
REGULATIONS
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the
construction of the plug permits, leave the green and yellow wire
longer than the others so that, in the event that the cord is pulled out of
the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect.
Remove a short section of the colored insulation to expose the wires.
The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the safety
earth symbol , or colored green or green and yellow.
The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black or blue.
The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red or brown.
The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The
colored wires should not hang out of the plug.

Plain paper
The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond
paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or
handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before buying to ensure
that it provides acceptable performance. Some important guidelines when
selecting paper are:
☛ 1.
☛ 2.
☛ 3.
Your supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in
a laser printer.
Preprinted papers must use inks that can withstand the printer’s fusing
temperature. (392 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade)
If selecting a cotton bond paper, paper with a rough surface such as cockle
or laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, you may
experience less than optimal performance.
✒ Note
The manufacturer does not warrant the use of any particular paper. The
operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.

CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER
Labels and Transparencies
The printer will print on most type of labels and transparencies designed for
use with a laser printer. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-
based since such material is more stable at the high temperatures in the
fusing unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the
printer, because the label stock may stick to the drum or rollers and cause
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between
the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire page with
the only exposed spaces being lengthwise down the sheet. Using labels with
spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jam or print
problems.
All labels and transparencies used in this printer must be able to withstand a
temperature of 200 degrees centigrade (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for a
period of 0.1 seconds.
Label and transparency sheets should not exceed the paper weight
specifications described in the User’s Guide. Labels and transparencies
exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and cause
damage to your printer.
Print quality, reliability and performance of labels and transparencies cannot
be guaranteed.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF UNSATISFACTORY LABELS OR
TRANSPARENCIES IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR
SERVICE AGREEMENTS.

CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER
✒ Note
• Before printing envelopes, you must fan the stack well to avoid paper
jams and misfeeds.
Fig. 1-29
• Different types of paper should not be loaded at the same time in the
paper tray, it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
• Do not print envelopes by Duplex printing.
• Be sure to select the same paper size as the paper to be used from your
application software, or correct printing cannot be obtained.
• If your application software does not support paper size selection on its
print menu, you can change the paper size with the MP Size setting in
the Paper Menu on the Control Panel. For more information, see Menus
1-33
✒ Note
If envelopes get smudged during printing, set the print density to a higher
value in the QUALITY settings with the panel operation switch for darker
• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
• All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.
Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, some
envelopes will have feeding and print quality problems because of their
construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with a straight, well
creased folds and should not have more than two thickness of paper along
the lead edge. The envelope should lie flat and not have baggy or flimsy
construction. Purchase quality envelopes only from a supplier who
understands that the envelopes will be used in a laser printer. All envelopes
should be tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results.
✒ Note
The manufacturer neither warrants nor recommends the use of a particular
envelope because envelope properties are subject to change by the
envelope manufacturer. The entire responsibility for the quality and
performance of the envelope lies with the customer.

Possible Cause
Solutions
Is the power on?
If not, confirm that the cord is securely plugged into the
power outlet and the printer.
Turn on the printer power.
Is the paper set?
Load paper into the paper tray.
Set the specified paper in any of the input trays.
Adjust the paper size dial to match the size and feed
direction of the paper in the paper tray.
Is your specified paper
size correct?
Is your specified paper
type correct?
Set the specified paper in any of the input trays.
Adjust the paper type using the Control panel.
Can you print a
configuration page?
If you cannot print a configuration page, it probably indicates
a printer malfunction.You should contact your sales or
service representative.
If you can print a configuration page but cannot get the
printer to print when you issue a print command from your
computer, it probably means there is a problem with your
computer.
Also keep it in mind that large, complex data might take a
long time for the printer to process.
Is the interface cable
between the printer and
your computer connected
securely?
Connect the interface cable correctly. If there are any
securing clips or screws, confirm they are fastened securely.
Are you using a correct
interface cable?
The type of interface cable you should use depends on your
computer. Be sure to use the correct one.
If the cable is damaged or worn, replace it with a new one.
Check the interface cable is connected before turning on the
power switch.
Did you connect the
interface cable after
turning on the main
switch?

Improving print quality
If you are not satisfied with the printout quality, check the problem and take
the necessary action to clear it.
✒ Note
• It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines listed in the
specifications and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to
temperature, humidity or other variables over which the printer has no
control. If you cannot clear print problems, consult the dealer where you
purchased the printer.

Black Page
If an entire page is printed in black, make sure that the toner bottle is
properly installed. Never use heat-sensitive paper, or it may cause this
problem.

White Page
If nothing is printed on pages, make sure that the toner bottle is not empty
and that you are using paper, Transparencies, or envelopes that meet the
printer’s specifications.
If a stack of paper is not fanned, more than one sheet may be loaded at a
time, which may cause blank pages to be ejected.

Dropout
If the page has areas with missing print, make sure that the Toner bottle is
not empty or the Toner is evenly distributed in the bottle.
Also, make sure that you use paper, Transparencies or envelopes that meet
the printer’s specifications. Moist paper causes this problem.
If the print density is set too low, this problem may occur. Adjust the print
density to the proper setting.

Format:
ESC i n … n \
Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment of
parameters “n … n”. For further information about parameters, see the
following “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the
“ \ ” code (5CH).
[Definition of Parameters]
This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter
segment (n … n). Since parameters are effective within the single command
syntax ESC i n … n \, they don’t take effect in the subsequent bar code
commands. If certain parameters are not specified, they take the default
settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start (“b” or “B”) or
the expanded character data start (“l” or “L”). Other parameters can be
specified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be a lower-
case or upper-case character: for example, “t0” or “T0”, “s3” or “S3”, etc.

printed with OCR-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character style
enhancements are masked. Note that the default setting is subject to the bar
code mode selected by “t” or “T”.
"
"
Quiet Zone
n = “onnn” or “Onnn” (nnn = 0 ~ 32767)
Quiet Zone is the space on both side of the bar codes. Its width can be
specified using the units which are set by the “u” of “U” parameter. (For the
description of “u” or “U” parameter, see the next section.) The default setting

Bar Code Data Start
n = “b” or “B”
Data that follows “b” or “B” is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must
end with the “ \ ” code (5CH), which also terminates this command. The
acceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by “t” or
“T”.
•
When CODE 39 is selected with the parameter “t0” or “T0”:
Forty three characters “0” to “9”, “A” to “Z”, “-”, “ . ”, “ (space)”, “$”, “ / ”, “+”,
and “%” can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data
error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code
data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk “ * ” (start character and
stop character). If the received data has an asterisk “ * ” at its beginning or
end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character.
•
When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter “t1” or “T1”:
Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. Other
characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not
limited. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the bar
code data has odd characters, the zero character “0” is automatically added
to the end of the bar code data.
•
•
When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter “t3” or “T3”:
Characters “A” to “D” are valid and 1 digit of data can be printed. Uppercase
and lowercase alphabet characters can be accepted.
When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter “t4” or “T4”:
Characters “0” to “9” can be data and it must be terminated by a check digit.
“?” can be used in place of the check digit.
Appendix–28
APPENDICES
•
When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5” or “T5”:
Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. The
number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows.
EAN 8:
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)
Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
A number of characters other than above causes data error and the bar
code data is printed as normal print data. If the check digit is incorrect, the
printer calculates the correct check digit automatically so that the correct bar
code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding “+” and a 2-or 5-
digit number after the data can create an add-on code.
•
When UPC-E is selected with the parameter “t6” or “T6”:
The numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data.
(1)
8 digits
Standard format. The first character
must be “0” and the data must be terminated by
a check digit.
Total 8 digits = “0” + 6 digits + 1 check digit.
6 digits The first character and the last
check digit are removed from the 8 digit data.
(2)
*1: For 8 digits, “?” can be used in place of a check digit.
*2: Adding “+” and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates
an add-on code for all 6 and 8 digit formats.
•
•
When Codabar is selected with the parameter “t9” or “T9”:
Characters “0” to “9”, “-”, “ . ”, “$”, “/”, “+”, “ : ” can be printed. Characters “A”
to “D” can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be uppercase or
lowercase. If there is no start-stop code, errors occur. A check digit cannot
be added and using “?” causes errors.
When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter “t12”
or “T12,” “t13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively:
Code 128 sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes
characters Hex 00 … 5F. Set B encodes characters Hex 20 … 7F. Set C
encodes numeric pairs 00 … 99. Switching is allowed between the code
sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1,
%2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1
character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The “%” character can be
encoded by sending it twice.
