Letterhead

The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4 mm (0.157") from the edges of the media. Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.

Printable Area

This area is subject to both hardware a limits (the physical media size and the a = 4 mm (0.157") margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0.157") from all edges of the media. When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 10.4 mm (0.409").
UG2400W_UK.book Page 28 Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:16 PM
When printing on glossy, the top margin is 10 mm (0.394").

Imageable AreaEnvelopes

Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope type. The envelope print orientation is determined by your application.
Nonimageable area 4 mm (0.157")

Nonguaranteed area

Guaranteed area

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

Loading Media

How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray. Do not fan transparencies.
Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life. When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media misfeeds.

Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray)
For details on the types and sizes of media that can be printed from Tray 1, refer to Media Specifications on page 20.

Loading Plain Paper

Open Tray 1.

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.

When lifting the printer, grasp the areas shown in the figure.
If you get toner 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. Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in the printer.

Preventing Media Misfeeds
Make sure that. Media matches the printer specifications. Media is flat, especially on the leading edge. The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface. You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity. You remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to avoid static buildup. You always adjust the media guides in Tray 1 after inserting the media (a guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, and printer damage). You load the media printing-side up in the tray (many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side). Avoid. Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled. Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheetsthey may be sticking together). Fanning transparencies since this causes static. Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time. Overfilling the trays. Allowing the output tray to overfill (the output tray has a 200-sheet capacity misfeeding may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 200 sheets at one time). Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

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.
