• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric shock might occur.
• Connect the machine only to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual. Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord.
• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.

• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.), contact your service representative to change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric shock or fire.

• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.

• 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.
• Before moving the machine, be sure to disconnect all external connections, especially the power cord from the wall outlet. Damaged power cords are a fire and electric shock hazard.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time such as holidays.
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the machine.
• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner bottle out of the reach of children.
• Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside the product to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.
• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an authorized dealer.
• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the "hot surface". Otherwise, an injury might occur.

• 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.

• Do not look into the lamp - it can damage your eyes.

• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• During operation, rollers for transporting the paper and originals revolve. A safety device is being installed so that the machine can be operated safely. But take care not to touch the rollers during operation. An injury might occur.

5 Loading print media

This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Selecting an output location

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user's guide may cause the following problems:

Poor print quality
- Increased paper jams
- Premature wear on the printer

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer's performance and the output quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.
• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:

• 16 to 28 lb bond (60 to 105g / m^2 ) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2, tray 3, tray 4

• 16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163g / m^2 ) for the multi-purpose tray

• 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90g / m^2 ) for the duplex printing

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Notes

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which manufacturer has no control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user's guide.
• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on the next column.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following media types:

• Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough

• Erasable bond paper
• Multi-paged paper
• Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

• Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15^ and 30^ ( 59^ to 86^ ). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70% .
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Guidelines for special print media

Media type	Guidelines
Envelopes	·Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: ·Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2(24 lb) or jamming may occur. ·Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air. ·Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. ·Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during operation. ·Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds. ·Do not use stamped envelopes. ·Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials. ·Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes. ·Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. Acceptable Unacceptable ·Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer's fusing temperature of 195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser. ·For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope. ·Avoid printing over the area where the envelope's seams meet.
Transparencies	·To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers. ·Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 195° C (383° F), the printer's fusing temperature. ·Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer. ·Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing. ·To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully. ·To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight. ·Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels	·To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels designed for use in laser printers. ·When selecting labels, consider the following factors: - Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195° C (383° F), the printer's fusing temperature. - Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. - Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any direction. - Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. ·Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components. ·Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the printer. ·Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock or custom-sized materials	·Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long. ·In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.

Media type

Guidelines

Preprinted paper

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer's fusing temperature of 195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second. • Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers. • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage. • Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray 1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75g / m^2 (20 lb) plain paper.

You can purchase optional trays and attach them below the standard tray to load an additional 500 sheets of paper for each tray. You can attach up to three additional trays. For order information for optional trays, see page 7.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional trays shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.

Full
Empty

Using the standard tray or the optional trays

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the standard tray. The standard tray can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75g / m^2 (20 lb) paper.

To load paper, pull open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray.

Notes

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurved edge at the front of the tray. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

Changing the size of the paper in the tray

The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To change the size, you need to adjust the paper guides.

1 Push the back plate of the tray outwards completely so that it can extend the length of the tray.

2 Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it to the correct position for the paper size you are loading, which is marked at the bottom of the tray.

3 Squeeze the paper width guides and slide them to the desired paper size marked at the bottom of the tray.

1 paper width guide

Notes

• Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the media to warp.
• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams.

4 Load paper with the print side down.

Using the multi-purpose tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.

To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:

1 Pull the multi-purpose tray down towards you and pull the multipurpose tray extension to hold longer paper.

2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

3 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.

Caution

• The inside of this machine gets very hot. Do not touch parts labelled "△" (hot surface). Touching "△" labelled parts could result in burns.

Note

• To print on envelopes, you must open the rear cover and push the fuser levers upwards. The print quality will be enhanced.

• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the printer first.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an uncurled edge entering the printer first.

Notes

• Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.
• When you print on special media like envelopes, labels, transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the rear cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.

4 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

5 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the software application. See the Software Section.
For information about setting the paper source and type on the control panel, see page 2.4.
6 After printing, put the multi-purpose tray extension back to its place and close the multi-purpose tray.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other tray.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.
• When you print on 76 ~mm × 127 ~mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on the multi-purpose tray, open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid paper jams.
• When you print on transparencies, open the rear cover. If not they may tear while exiting the printer.

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print media in the multi-purpose tray if you select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the multi-purpose tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the tray, send print data to print the first page, and press OK on the control panel to print each following page.

1 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

2 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

3 When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. See the Software Section.
4 Print a document.

The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and press OK.

5 Press OK.

The printer picks up the print media and prints. After one page is printed, the message appears again.

Note

• If you do not press the button, after a pause the printer will automatically pick the print media.

6 Insert the next sheet into the multi-purpose tray and press OK.

Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

Selecting an output location

The printer has two output locations; the rear cover (face up) and the output tray (face down).

The printer sends output to the output tray by default. To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.

Notes

• If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the printer is printing.

Printing to the output tray (Face down)

The output tray collects paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.

Printing to the rear cover (Face up)

Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the printer face up.

Printing from the multi-purpose tray to the rear cover provides a straight paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the output quality with special print media.

To use the rear cover, open it by pulling down and pull the rear cover extension.

Caution

• The inside of this machine gets very hot. Do not touch parts labelled "△" (hot surface). Touching "△" labelled parts could result in burns.
• The fuser area inside the rear cover of your printer becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area.

8 Maintenance

This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the toner cartridge, as well as suggestions for high-quality and economical printing.

This chapter includes:

• Printing information pages
• Cleaning the printer
• Maintaining the toner cartridge
• Maintenance parts

Printing information pages

From the printer's control panel, you can print pages that give detailed information about the printer. They can help you check your printer's status and maintain the printer.

1 Press Menu until Information appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
2 Press the Scroll buttons until the information page you want appears and press OK.
3 Press OK when Yes appears. A page prints out.

Cleaning the printer

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Your printer has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.

Note

• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the printer.

Cleaning the inside of the printer

There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:

• Clean the inside manually.
• Print a cleaning sheet, which can be done from the control panel.

Cleaning the inside of the printer manually

1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer to cool down.

2 Open the top cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat surface.

Notes

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

3 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Note

• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

4 Gently swab the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge cavity and check for dirt or dust.

Note

• The long strip of glass is hard to locate.

5 Locate the PTL lens by flipping up the guide feed and gently swab the lens with the pointed white cotton.

6 Clean a feed sensor with a cotton bud.

Feed Sensor

7 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover.
8 Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.

Printing a cleaning sheet

If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer. You can print:

• OPC cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge.
• Fuser cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer.

This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded.

1 Make sure that the printer is turned on with paper loaded in the tray.
2 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
3 Press the Scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK.
4 Press the Scroll buttons until Clean Fuser or Clean Drum appears and press OK.

Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Warning

• 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.

Caution

• Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner cartridge out of reach of children.
• 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.

Caution

• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. 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.

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute.

Expected cartridge yield

The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Saving toner

To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button backlight turns on.

Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

Checking the remaining toner

You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.

If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if the problem is caused by low toner.

1 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
2 Press the Scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK.
3 Press the Scroll buttons until Supplies Life appears and press OK.
4 Press the Scroll buttons until Toner Remains appears and press OK.

The display shows the percentage of the remaining toner.

Note

While the following messages are appearing on the display, the sub-menu(s) under Supplies Life can be changed:

• Invalid Toner, NonGenuine Toner, Replace Toner, Toner Exhausted

Redistributing toner cartridge

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

• White streaks and light printing occur.
• Toner Low appears on the display.
• The Status LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

1 Open the top cover.
2 Pull the toner cartridge out.

Caution

• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot.

Notes

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

3 Thoroughly shake the cartridge 4 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Note

• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

4 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the printer.

Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

5 Close the top cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Replacing the toner cartridge

Warning

• 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 containers yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations.

Caution

• Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner cartridge out of reach of children.
• Do not put an object on the right cover when it is open.

When the toner cartridge is completely empty:

Solving print quality problems

Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce print quality. See the table below to troubleshoot problems.

Condition	Suggested solutions
Light or faded print AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page: ·The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See page 8.4. If this does not improve print quality, install a new toner cartridge. ·The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See page 5.3. ·If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too light or toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and toner save mode in the printer properties. See the Software Section. ·If the entire page is faded with "Toner Low Replace Toner" message on LCD, set "CLR Empty Msg." to "On" referring to page 8.7. In this case, you can keep printing but the quality cannot be guaranteed, and the product support is no longer provided. ·A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the printer needs cleaning. See page 8.1. ·The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 8.2.
Toner spots AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	·The paper may not meet specifications (for example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See page 5.3. ·The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty. See page 8.1.

Condition	Suggested solutions
Dropouts AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	If generally rounded, faded areas occur randomly on the page: · A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job. · The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. See page 5.3. · The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper. · The toner cartridge may be defective. See “Vertical repetitive defects” on the next page. · If these steps do not correct the problems, contact a service representative.
Vertical lines AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	If black vertical streaks appear on the page: · The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge. See page 8.5. If white vertical streaks appear on the page: · The surface of the LSU part inside the printer may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 8.2.
Gray background AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the problem. · Change to lighter weight pages. See page 5.3. · Check the printer's environment; very dry (low humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can increase the amount of background shading. · Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.5.
Toner smear AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	· Clean the inside of the printer. See page 8.1. · Check the type and quality. See page 5.2. · Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.5.
Vertical repetitive defects AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals: ·The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to clean the cartridge; see page 8.3. After the printout, if you still have the same problems, install a new toner cartridge. See page 8.5. ·Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages. ·The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.
Background scatter A	Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page. ·The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture. ·If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems. ·If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or via the printer properties window.
Misformed characters AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	·If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See page 5.3. ·If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page (see page 2.7). For service, contact a service representative.
Page skew AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc	·Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. ·Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.2. ·Ensure that the paper or other media is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

The Resolution options you can select may vary depending on your printer model. The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a document.

Toner Save Mode

Selecting this option extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page without a significant reduction in print quality. Some printers do not support this feature.

• Printer Setting: If you select this option, this feature is determined by the setting you've made on the control panel of the printer.
• On: Select this option to allow the printer to use less toner on each page.
• Off: If you don't need to save toner when printing a document, select this option.

Advanced Options

You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Options button.

• TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver tells the printer about how to image the text in your document. Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your document. This option may be available only in Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer model.

• Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

• Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the driver will download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.
• Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting.

• Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even numbered pages of the document.

• Information Page: Select Banner Page to print a banner sheet containing the printer name, the network user ID, job name before printing the document. When several users send a print job to the printer, this option allows you to easily find your printing from the output tray. Some printers do not support this feature.

• Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

• Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to save the document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER*.FOM). Once this option is selected, the printer driver requires the file name and the destination path each time you print.

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company's letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

1 Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.
2 To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See "Printing a Document" on page 12.
3 Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay section.
4 In the Edit Overlay window, click Create Overlay.
In the Create Overlay window, type a name of up to eight characters in the File name box. Select the destination path, if necessary. (The default is C:\Formover).
6 Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List box.
7 Click OK or Yes to finish creating.

The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your computer hard disk drive.

NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.

Using a Page Overlay

After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with your document. To print an overlay with a document:

1 Create or open the document you want to print.
2 To change the print settings from your software application, access printer properties. See "Printing a Document" on page 12.
3 Click the Extras tab.
4 Select the desired overlay from the Overlay drop-down list box.
5 If the overlay file you want does not appear in the Overlay list, click Edit button and Load Overlay, and select the overlay file.

If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an external source, you can also load the file when you access the Load Overlay window.

After you select the file, click Open. The file appears in the Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the overlay from the Overlay List box.

6 If necessary, click Confirm Page Overlay When Printing. If this box is checked, a message window appears each time you submit a document for printing, asking you to confirm your wish to print an overlay on your document.

If this box is not checked and an overlay has been selected, the overlay automatically prints with your document.

7 Click OK or Yes until printing begins.

The selected overlay downloads with your print job and prints on your document.

NOTE: The resolution of the overlay document must be the same as that of the document you will print with the overlay.

Deleting a Page Overlay

You can delete page overlays that you no longer use.

1 In the printer properties window, click the Extras tab.
2 Click the Edit button in the Overlay section.
3 Select the overlay you want to delete from the Overlay List box.

4 TCP/IP environment

A TCP/IP network provides you with various protocols for using printing devices and managing various types of networked devices.

In this chapter, you will learn which management protocols are available in TCP/IP network environments, and how to print via your network print server using TCP/IP protocol.

Management protocols

Before beginning to print documents via your network printer, you need to check or configure some parameters using management protocols.

DHCP/BOOTP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol enabling network administrators to centrally manage and to automate the assignment of IP addresses in a network. In an IP network, each device needs a unique IP address. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a device is plugged into a different place in the network.

Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is UDP/IP-based protocol which allows a booting host to configure itself dynamically and without user supervision. BOOTP provides means to notify a host of its assigned IP address, the IP address of a boot server host, and other configuration information, such as the local subnet mask, the local time offset, and the addresses of default routers. Addresses of various Internet servers can also be transferred to a host using BOOTP.

DHCP is active by factory default on your network print server. After boot up, the network print server will get an IP address automatically from the DHCP server, if one exists. To set an IP address manually, see page 2.2.

Configuring DHCP/BOOTP

To enable or disable DHCP/BOOTP, use one of the following methods:

• Printer's control panel: Refer to Network Menu settings in your printer user's guide.
• Web Image Monitor SP 5100N: Select Network Settings TCP/IP and select DHCP or BOOTP from the IP Address Assignment Method list.

HTTP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as with name servers and distributed object management systems. You are using HTTP when you connect your network printer via a web browser.

The Network Printer Card has a built-in web server, Web Image Monitor SP 5100N. You can configure and manage your network print server through Web Image Monitor SP 5100N using HTTP over TCP/IP.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It enables network administrators to remotely monitor and configure network devices, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.

Network devices are monitored and controlled using four basic SNMP commands:

• read: is used by a Network Management server to monitor network devices. The server examines different variables that are maintained by the devices.
• write: is used by a Network Management server to control managed devices. The server changes the values of variables stored within the devices.
• trap: is used by network devices to asynchronously report events to a Network Management server. When certain types of events occur, a device sends a trap to the specified server.
• Traversal operations: are used by a Network Management server to determine which variables a network device supports and to sequentially gather information in variable tables, such as a routing table.

Configuring SNMP

To access your network print server using SNMP, Community Name/Access Permission pair must be properly specified. There are two access permission: read and write.

Assign the IP addresses of trap hosts and community names (IP addresses) of network devices in Web Image Monitor SP 5100N select Network Settings SNMP.

Using SNMP

Web Image Monitor SP 5100N accesses, configures, and manages network devices using SNMP. You can use other MIB (Management Information Base) browser software, which allows you to access management information gathered from network devices.

SLP

Service Location Protocol (SLP) is an Internet standard network protocol that provides a framework to allow networking applications to discover the existence, location, and configuration of networked services in enterprise networks, such as printers, Web servers, fax machines, video cameras, file systems, backup devices (tape drives), databases, directories, mail servers, and calendars.

In order to locate services on the network, users of network applications are required to supply the host name or network address of the device that supplies a desired service. However, SLP eliminates the need for a user to know the name of a network host supporting a service. Rather, the user only needs to supply the desired type of service and set of attributes or keywords, which describe the service.

Based on that description, SLP also resolves the network address of the service of the user. Administrators do not need to help clients find new services or to remove services when they are no longer available. SLP uses multicasting and can work over subnet boundaries.

Configuring SLP

You can configure SLP protocol settings through Web Image Monitor SP 5100N. Select Network Settings SLP.

• SLP Protocol: You can enable or disable SLP.
• Port Number: The port number is fixed to 427.
• Scope 1 ~ 3: A scope is a set of services and a string used to group resources by location, network, or administrative category. Each scope should not be more than 32 characters.
• Message Type: You can select the outgoing SLP message type sent to network devices. The default value is Multicast.
• Multi Cast Radius: You can specify the maximum number of subnets that SLP multicasts can travel across. This value is also called the "hop count" or "time-to-live" (TTL). The default value is 255.
• Registration Lifetime: You can define the time in seconds before the Server Agents registration expires.
• Multicast Address: The Multicast Address value is fixed to 239.255.255.253, 224.0.1.127.

Using SLP

Once SLP enabled is checked, the network print server works as a Service Agent and the User Agent.

Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

DNS (Domain Name System) is used for registration of domain names and provides Host names to an IP address resolution service. For printer devices, DNS may be utilised for printer domain name registration, so that print server clients may refer to the printer by its host name rather than by its IP address. Even though a printer's IP address is changed, all clients can operate this printer without reconfiguration. Addressing to a printer device by IP address is not convenient and may often go stale if an IP address to a device is assigned dynamically via a DHCP server. If the DHCP server can provide information about a printer's changing IP address to the DNS server automatically, user convenience is increased. The printer's name will be used as its DNS name.

Configuring DDNS

1 Let the DHCP server provide updated information to the DNS server.
2 Configure the same DDNS domain through Web Image Monitor SP 5100N as entered in the DNS server.

If you connect your network printer via a web browser, you can enable this by selecting Network Setting TCP/IP Dynamic DNS Registration.

3 Set the IP assignment method of your network print server to DHCP and reboot the printer.

The DNS server will update its database and users can use the printer's name instead of its IP address.

WINS

Before Dynamic DNS was defined, DNS could only be updated manually when DHCP servers automatically provided (or removed) IP addresses. As a result, DNS servers often contained obsolete listings. In response, Microsoft developed Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) to solve this problem for NetBIOS names.

Microsoft now recommends moving to Dynamic DNS and away from WINS. However, many customers including Microsoft maintain WINS systems and need devices to interoperate with WINS. So devices must, at least for now, support WINS interoperability to allow for dynamic NetBIOS name to IP address registration and resolution.

WINS provides a distributed database for registering and querying dynamic NetBIOS names to IP address mapping in a routed network environment. This is the best choice for NetBIOS name resolution in such a routed network because it is designed to solve the problems that occur with name resolution in complex Internet networks.

Configuring WINS

Access Web Image Monitor SP 5100N and select Network Settings TCP/IP. You will configure two WINS server addresses, the Primary WINS Server or the Secondary WINS Server. The default value is 0.0.0.0.

In a DHCP server

A DHCP server can support the NBNS (NetBIOS Name Server) option. An administrator has to set the WINS server IP address in the NBNS option.

1 Set the IP assignment method of your network print server to DHCP.
2 Reboot the print server.

The WINS server will update the printer's NetBIOS name in its database. Users can use the printer name instead of its IP address.

In the network print server

1 Configure the WINS server address through Web Image Monitor SP 5100N.
2 Reboot the print server.

The WINS server will update the printer's NetBIOS name in its database. Users can use the printer name instead of its IP address.

Bonjour

Bonjour allows for a network system to be easily discovered and its capabilities to be revealed by any Bonjour-compliant client software, such as Print Center Utility built in to Mac OS X. For details, see page 5.2.

UPnP

UPnP is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of intelligent appliances, and PCs of all form factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether in the home, in a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet.

UPnP is a distributed, open networking architecture that leverages TCP/IP and Web technologies to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices in the home, office, and public spaces.

UPnP is more than just a simple extension of the plug and play peripheral model. It is designed to support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking, and automatic discovery for a wide breadth of device categories from a wide range of vendors. This

means a device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS servers are optional and are used only if available on the network, while a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically without leaving any unwanted state issues behind.

UPnP supports 6 protocol stacks for addressing, discovery, description, control, eventing, and presentation, but the Network Printer Card supports only Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) which allows addressing, description, and discovery.

Configuring UPnP

• Control panel: Refer to the Network Menu setting in your printer user's guide.
  Web Image Monitor SP 5100N: Select Network Settings UPnP.

• Auto IP Enabled: You can enable or disable Auto IP. When this option is selected, the network print server cannot find the control point and receive an IP address from the control point. The network print server will create an IP address of "169.254.XXX.XXX."

• Multicast DNS Enabled: SSDP can use Multicast DNS.

• SSDP Enabled: You can enable or disable SSDP.
• SSDP TTL: You can specify the maximum number of subnets that SSPD multicasts can travel across.

Using UPnP

If SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) is enabled, your network print server is checked by a control point. This control point is an application which supports finding UPnP devices. Information on searching and control functions or your network print server's device information is displayed in an XML page (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5200/printer.xml).

Printing protocols

Before setting the network printing ports, you must install the printer driver with the local port (LPT) on the system. Refer to your printer user's guide.

Standard TCP/IP port

You can print your documents to your network printer by creating a Standard TCP/IP port.

EtherTalk environment

Ethernet is AppleTalk used in an Ethernet network. This protocol is widely used in Macintosh network environments. Microsoft Windows system also supports this protocol. Like TCP/IP, EtherTalk also provides packet transmission and routing functionality.

The network printer card works on EtherTalk networks, if the host printer supports PostScript. The description in this chapter applies to network printing from a Macintosh computer.

EtherTalk printing

Printing in an EtherTalk network is possible with several different hardware and software configurations. When you issue a command to print a document, the application begins a series of EtherTalk calls attempting to establish a connection to the printer. The calls first initiate the NBP (Name Binding Protocol) name-lookup process to find the currently selected printer and its EtherTalk address. Then the Printer Access Protocol (PAP) is used to open a connection with the printer.

Once the connection has been established, the workstation and printer interact over a PAP connection. PAP uses lower-level protocols, such as ATP and DDP, to provide a data-stream service for sending print data to the printer.

Configuring EtherTalk

You can configure EtherTalk using the following methods:

Control Panel

Refer to the Network Menu setting in your printer user's guide.

Web Image Monitor SP 5100N

1 Run your web browser.
2 Enter the printer's IP address in the URL field and click Go.
3 Select Network Settings EtherTalk.

• EtherTalk Protocol: allows you to enable or disable the EtherTalk protocol.
• Printer Name: allows you to set the printer name for EtherTalk protocol. The default name is RNP+MAC address. This name is automatically displayed on Chooser.
• Printer Type: shows the printer type.

• Last Error Occurred: shows the last error.

• RTMP: allows you to set the time in seconds after which the routing table entry maintained by the RTMP protocol times out.

• ZIP (current zone): shows the AppleTalk Zone name. If there is no configured zone, *(asterisk) should be displayed.
• PAP (wait time before transmitting a tickle packet): enables you to define the time interval in seconds after which the PAP protocol should resend a tickle packet to verify the status of the PAP connection between the printer and your Macintosh.

4 Click Apply.

Configuring the printer

Note: The following instructions are for Mac OS 10.3, but similar for other versions.

The following steps must be taken to configure the network printer for use on a Macintosh system. If the network printer you want to use is not listed in the printer pop-up menu when you try to print a document, you should add it to your list of available printers.

1 Open System Preferences and click Print & Fax.
2 Click Printing Set Up Printers.
3 If the printer already appears in the printer list, select the In Menu check box to add it to your list of available printers. You will see the printer in the Printer pop-up menu the next time you print.
4 Choose Printers Add Printer.

10 Click Add.

The printer appears on the Printer List as the default printer (in boldface). It also appears in the Printer pop-up menu when you print a document.

Bonjour printer

Usually used in Macintosh networks to search for network devices, Bonjour consists of IPv4 Link-Local Addressing, Multicast DNS, and DNS Service Discovery. Known as zero configuration networking, Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically find each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.

In order to provide a true zero configuration experience, meaning that you do not need to configure network parameters, the printer MUST have Bonjour enabled by default. It is NOT possible to disable any part of Bonjour.

After boot up, check the Bonjour printer name of this printer network card in Mac OS X.

1 Open System Preferences and select Print & Fax.
2 Click Printing Set Up Printers.
3 If the printer already appears on the Printer List, select the In Menu check box to add it to your list of available printers. You will see the printer in the Printer pop-up menu the next time you print.
