Configuring WPA/WPA2

WPA/WPA2 uses an authentication server to provide greatly enhanced security compared to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.

WPA/WPA2 can be configured using Web Image Monitor's administrator mode.

You can select four types of EAP authentication method: EAP-TLS, LEAP, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP. Note that each EAP authentication method has different configuration settings and authentication procedures.

Types and requirements of certificates are as follows:

If a certificate is required, configure all settings after installing the certificate.

EAP Types Requiring a "Site Certificate"

EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP (Necessary except LEAP)

EAP Types Requiring a "Site Certificate" and/or a "Device Certificate"

EAP-TLS, PEAP (Phase 2 is for TLS only)

Note

Do not print on both sides of paper.
The paper sizes are supported, but they must be selected using the control panel. See "Loading the Paper Roll into Tray 1 and 2^ , "Loading Cut Paper into Tray 3 ^ , and "Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray".
- Custom sizes must be selected using the control panel or the printer driver. See "Loading custom size paper".
If multiple-sheet jams occur, load paper sheet by sheet.
If you load paper of the same size in the same orientation in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to another tray - except the bypass tray - when the first tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called "Tray Switching". (However, if one tray contains recycled or special paper, the settings of the other trays must be the same for Tray Switching to work.) This saves interrupting a print run to replenish paper when making a large number of prints.

Paper weight and capacity

TraySupported paper weightSupported capacity (Plain paper)

Paper Recommendations

This section describes loading and storing paper, details of each type of paper, and the printable area.

Configure the settings depending on the type of paper you are using.

Important

  • Print quality cannot always be guaranteed for all types of paper that are sold at stores.

Loading Paper

Important

  • Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfed.
    □ Do not reuse paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.

Set paper roll

  • Use a paper roll that has a black core.
  • If humidity is high, and the paper roll has expanded due to moisture, be sure to cut off approximately 1000 ~mm ( 40'' ), before making printing.
  • When a paper roll of 90 g/m^2 (24 lb.) or 110 g/m^2 (29.3 lb.) paper is used and there is little paper left on the roll, image may be faint near the leading and / or trailing edge, or an image may be doubled. To prevent this, set 3 - 5 mm ( 0.11'' - 0.19'' ) margins from the leading and trailing edges.

Set paper as follows:

  • Tray 3: print side facing down
  • Bypass Tray: print side facing up

Storing Paper

Take care when storing paper. 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.

7. Cleaning and Adjusting the Printer

Maintaining Your Printer

Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.

Important

  • Do not use chemical cleaners or organic solvents, such as thinner or benzene. If such substances get inside the machine or melt plastic parts, a failure might occur.
  • Do not clean parts other than those explicitly specified in this manual. Other parts should only be cleaned by your service representative.
  • You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean away any dust and grime from and around the plug and outlet before reconnecting. Accumulated dust and grime pose a fire hazard.

How to maintain

Cleaning the machine: Wipe the machine with a soft, dry cloth. If this does not remove the dirt, wipe the machine with a damp and tightly wrung cloth. If a damp cloth still does not remove the dirt, try using a mild detergent. Wipe the machine with a dry cloth to remove the moisture, after using a damp cloth.

Cleaning the Main Unit

Clean off toner that may have collected on the imaging area.

Important

  • Do not leave the main unit more than 10 minutes, otherwise print quality may deteriorate.
