Mount the paper trays

for the main automatic feeder

Vertical operating position

Horizontal operating position

for output/second automatic feeder

Load paper

The figures in this section show the printer in its horizontal position.

1. Push up the output tray, to simplify access to the main automatic feeder.

1. Pull out the adjustable rear guide on the paper tray of the main feeder and make sure that the adjustable margin guides are completely open.

The printing surface must face towards the tray.

1. Close the adjustable margin guides against the edges of the paper and the rear guide against the trailing edge.

1. Return the output tray to its operating position and make sure that its lateral and rear guides are open.

The priority of paper insertion is determined automatically by the printer: a single sheet in the manual feeder will always have first priority over paper in the second and main automatic feeders, in this order.

See the specific sections in this booklet for paper insertion from manual and second feeders. For the media types and formats you can use, consult the On-Line Help loaded with the printer driver.

Complete printer installation

1. Access the Printer Monitor

(a) Under Windows® 3.1/3.11, from your printer driver group by double-clicking its icon.
(b) Under Windows® 95/98/NT/2000:

• Click Start, highlight Programs and then the printer name in the sub-menu which opens.

• Click the Printer Monitor icon.

• Click on the Options tab and then select the printer operating position (Horizontal or Vertical).

The choice of operating position does not affect the printer performance.

1. Click on the Printer Care tab and then:

(a) Click both the "New Head" buttons, to confirm that new print heads have been inserted.
(b) Click the Align button, to run the test pages that confirm the accuracy of bi-directional printing; follow the instructions displayed (this feature requires at least two sheets of paper).
(c) Click the Demo button, to print the demo page so that you can check that the print quality is satisfactory; follow the instructions displayed. (This feature requires one sheet of paper).

Once you have done these operations, you can reduce the Printer Monitor to its icon.

Your printer is now ready for use.

On-line documentation

The CD containing the printer software also contains a User Guide (How do I) and an interactive Troubleshooting feature. The User Guide contains further information on the printer features, and print head and paper handling. The Troubleshooting feature is a fully contextual help file, giving on-the-spot information on how to solve the particular problem that has occurred.

To access the User Guide or the Troubleshooting, click on the specific icon in the Printer group created when you loaded the printer software.

Printer settings

There are several ways of accessing information on the printer settings contained in the "Settings" tab of the printer driver (Start, Settings, Printers, select and right click your printer icon, click Properties):

• select the item required and then right click it, or
• click on the "?" in the top right hand corner of the tab, then move to and click on to the item required, or
• click the "HELP" button in the lower right hand corner of the tab; in this case you access the complete section dealing with the entire "Settings" tab.

DOS environment

Although optimised for operation in a Windows® environment, your printer will also operate in DOS, recognising PCL III + command codes. This means that you can print from any DOS application that supports this command code set.

How to change the printer settings in DOS environment

With your printer connected and switched on, insert the CD in the reader on your PC. From the DOS prompt, type d:\config.exe (where "d" is the CD driver). Follow the instructions displayed on your PC screen.

Disinstalling the printer driver

If you have problems printing that are not solved with normal printer care operations (paper and print heads inserted correctly, appropriate selections in the printer driver, etc.), it may be necessary to re-install the printer driver.

To do this, you must first disinstall the driver, by clicking on the specific icon created in the printer group when you first loaded the driver. This allows a complete and correct removal of all the files loaded from the CD and/or created in your PC during driver installation, permitting a correct re-installation (see "Installing the printer software").

To disinstall the driver in Windows 98 USB environment, you must first disconnect the USB interface cable from the printer and then run the "ol22usbu.exe" file from the Windows\System\directory.

Disinstallation of the driver in Windows 2000 USB environment is done from Control Panel \ Add/Remove Program .

For other problems regarding the use of print heads, printing media, etc., refer to the specific topics in the Troubleshooting section of the On-Line documentation loaded with your printer driver.

Tips on use and care

□ Working environment

• Place your printer in a clean, stabilised environment.

Do not leave your printer exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources, or in dusty, dirty or poorly-ventilated environments.

Recommended operating environment

Temperature: 60 to 95^ F - 15 to 35^ C Relative Humidity: 20% - 80% .

• Do not let dust accumulate on your printer and take care not to spill anything on or in your printer.

Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the casing. Do NOT use corrosive or abrasive cleaners

Installation

• Connect your printer to an independent power socket.
  The printer should be positioned near the power socket which must be easily accessible.
• Do not locate the printer where people will step on the power cable or let anything rest on the power cable.
• Make sure that the plug on the power cable of the printer is of the type accepted by the wall socket you intend to use.
  Do NOT attempt to change the plug yourself.
• Do not use an extension cable or an adapter.

If your printer does not work, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF.

Print heads

Always use manufacturer-recommended supplies.
- Remove the print heads from the printer only to replace them.
Always keep the new print heads sealed in their containers until they are to be used.
- Remember to remove the protective tape before inserting the print head in the printer.
- Do NOT attempt to refill the print head with ink, as this damages the print head and the printer.

Paper

Always use manufacturer-recommended paper and printing media.
For all types of special printing media, always read the instructions included with the media pack.
- The paper/printing media must not be damp, curled, crumpled or torn, otherwise it may jam or even not be inserted. Sub-standard paper can also affect the quality of printing.
- When loading paper/printing media, make sure the printing surface of the paper is facing the correct way.
- Don't load paper/printing media over the "max" indication in the paper tray and make that it is not held too tightly nor has too much play.
