Labels

A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and a carrier sheet: The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification. The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhesive should come through on the surface. You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time. Format label data within your application. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. Check your application documentation for more information on printing labels. Capacity Tray 1 Up to 50 label sheets, depending on their thickness

Keep toner cartridges: In their packaging until youre ready to install them. In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat). The maximum storage temperature is 35 C (95 F) and the maximum storage humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for about one hour before use. Level during handling and storage. Do not hold, stand or store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.
Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.

Replacing a Toner Cartridge Note
Be careful not to spill toner while replacing a toner cartridge. If toner spills, immediately wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. When the toner is empty, the toner indicator lights up. Follow the procedure described below to replace the toner cartridge.
Check the control panel to see which color of toner is empty. As an example, the procedure for replacing the cyan toner cartridge is described below. If the Auto Toner Replace check box of Mode Setting in the Status Display was selected, printing stops when the toner is empty, and the empty toner cartridge moves so that it can be replaced. Skip to step 3. Press the Rotate Toner key. The lit indicator for the cyan toner goes off, and then the toner cartridge carousel rotates. When the cyan toner cartridge is positioned so that it can be replaced, the indicator for the cyan toner lights up again. Press the Rotate Toner key once to move the cyan toner cartridge so that it can be replaced. With each additional press of the Rotate Toner key, the black, yellow, then magenta toner cartridge moves so that they can be replaced. The indicator for the toner cartridge that was moved so that it can be replaced lights up.
UG2400W_UK.book Page 44 Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:16 PM
Check that the toner cartridge to be replaced has been moved to the front, and then open the front cover. You can identify the toner cartridge by the color of the handle and by the letter molded into the handle: C (cyan), M (magenta), Y (yellow) and K (black).

The printer must complete a calibration cycle (less than 2 minutes) after the drum cartridge has been replaced. If you open a cover before the printer is reset, the calibration stops, then starts over again after the cover is closed.

Maintaining the Printer

UG2400W_UK.book Page 52 Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:16 PM
Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any instructions contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of the printers covers and the interior of the printer body. Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause damage and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or outside of the printer, printer performance and print quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the following guidelines in mind.

WARNING!

Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise the printer will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.
The fuser unit is hot. When the right side cover is opened, the fuser unit temperature drops gradually (one hour wait time). Be careful when cleaning the inside of the printer or removing media misfeeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot. Do not place anything on top of the printer. Use a soft cloth to clean the printer. Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printers surface; the spray could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits. Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer. Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small inconspicuous area of your printer to check the solutions performance. Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads. Always close the printers covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibration. Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until it cools down.
UG2400W_UK.book Page 53 Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:16 PM
Do not leave the printers covers open for any length of time, especially in well-lit places; light may damage the drum cartridge. Do not open the printer during printing. Do not tap media stacks on the printer. Do not lubricate or disassemble the printer. Do not tilt the printer. Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so may damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate. Keep media in the output tray at a minimum level. If the media is stocked too high, your printer may experience media misfeeds and excessive media curl. Keep the printer level to avoid toner spillage.

UG2400W_UK.book Page 65 Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:16 PM

Clearing Media Misfeeds

To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any pieces of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not reload media that has misfed.
The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you touch the printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be careful not to touch the print face when removing the misfed media. Make sure not to spill any toner inside the printer.
Unfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on. If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap.
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor. If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the control panel window persists, open and close the printers covers. This should clear the misfeed message.
