Paper handling

Automatic paper feeder Manual sheet feeder
Your printer has two standard paper sources: an automatic paper feeder, which holds up to 150 sheets of plain paper and a single sheet manual feeder. Use the automatic paper feeder for the print jobs you do most often. Use the manual sheet feeder to feed a single page, transparency, envelope, label or index card. Your printer also has an output bin on top of the printer that collates up to 100 sheets (face down), and the single sheet front output door, which lets you feed media straight out the front of the printer, reducing curling and potential paper jams when using special media such as transparencies, envelopes, labels, card stock or index cards.

Clearing paper jams

If you get a paper jam, the Paper Jam indicator light prompts you to clear the paper path. If the paper has just started to feed from the paper feeder when the jam occurs:
Pull the paper straight up out of the paper feeder. Open and close the printer cover to resume printing.
If the paper jam occurs inside the printer:
Remove the paper from the output bin. Turn the printer off, then on.
If this doesnt clear the jam:
Open the printer cover. Remove the print cartridge and cover it.
LA.bk Page 35 Thursday, February 8, 2001 2:19 PM
Grasp the paper on both sides and pull the paper toward you. Make sure there is no more paper in the printer. Re-insert the print cartridge. Close the printer cover to resume printing.
Note: If the paper jam is in the fuser, try opening and closing the cover. Each time you open and close the cover, the paper advances until you can pull it out.
If a paper jam occurs while printing labels:
Be sure the labels remain attached to the backing sheet after clearing the paper jam. Feed 10 or more sheets of plain paper through the printer before resuming label printing. The plain paper will remove any remaining adhesive in or on the fusing unit.
Note: Serious damage to your printer may occur if adhesive labels remain in the fusing unit. Call for service.
LA.bk Page 36 Thursday, February 8, 2001 2:19 PM
Paper sticks together/printer feeds multiple sheets of paper. Paper skews or buckles. Envelopes fail to feed correctly. Make sure the envelopes are loaded in the center of the feeder. Try a different kind. Envelopes designed for laser printers produce better results.

Laser notice

The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 825. Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 5 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region of 700-810 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.

Laserprodukte der Klasse I gelten als unschdlich. Im Inneren des Druckers befindet sich ein Laser der Klasse IIIb (3b), bei dem es sich um einen Galliumarsenlaser mit 5 Milliwatt handelt, der Wellen der Lnge 700-810 Nanometer ausstrahlt. Das Lasersystem und der Drucker sind so konzipiert, da im Normalbetrieb, bei der Wartung durch den Benutzer oder bei ordnungsgemer Wartung durch den Kundendienst Laserbestrahlung, die die Klasse I bersteigen wrde, Menschen keinesfalls erreicht.
