REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device. Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed. The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation. As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting. This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below: Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication. In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device. Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country. If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully assembled. Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Contact manufacturer for service. Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

SETTING UP THE HARDWARE

If you want to change the size to A4, first move the paper width guide to left and rotate the lever counterclockwise. If you force the lever, it could damage the tray.
Selecting and loading print media_ 29
PRINTING ON SPECIAL PRINT MATERIALS
The machine can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. Especially, it is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT SUPPORT
The printed pages stack on the output tray, and the output support will help the printed pages align. To let the output support correctly align the pages you need to pull it out appropriately depending on the paper size.
Feeding the print material manually
Load only one size of print media at a time in the tray. To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the tray. This also applies to other types of print media. Print media should be loaded face up with the side you want to print, and the top edge going into the tray first. Place print materials in the center of the tray. Always load only the specified print media to avoid paper jams and print quality problems. (See "Selecting print media" on page 25.) Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the tray. 1. Load the paper. (See "Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray" on page 28.) 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. Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine first. Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the machine. Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the machine first. Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an uncurled edge toward the machine. 2. When you print in application, start the print menu. 3. Before you print, open printer properties. 4. Press the Paper tab in printer properties, and select an appropriate paper type. If you want to use an label, set the paper type to Label. 5. Select Manual Feeder in paper source then, press OK. 6. Start printing in application. 7. Press the Stop button on the machine to start feeding then the machine starts printing. If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet after first page prints out, and press the Stop button. Repeat this step for every page to be printed. The settings you change remain in effect only while you are using the current application.

Paper feeding

CONDITION Paper is jammed during printing. Paper sticks together. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Clear the paper jam. See page 39. Multiple sheets of paper do not feed. Paper does not feed into the machine. Ensure there is not too much paper in the tray. The tray can hold up to 150 sheets of paper, depending on the thickness of your paper. Make sure that you are using the correct type of paper. See page 30. Remove paper from the tray and flex or fan the paper. Humid conditions may cause some paper to stick together. Different types of paper may be stacked in the tray. Load paper of only one type, size, and weight. If multiple sheets have caused a paper jam, clear the paper jam. See page 39. Remove any obstructions from inside the machine. Paper has not been loaded correctly. Remove paper from the tray and reload it correctly. There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. The paper is too thick. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the machine. See page 25. There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. If you are printing on special materials, load only one size of print media at a time in the tray. An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the machine. See page 26. There may be debris inside the machine. Open the front cover and remove the debris.
The machine is not selected as the default printer.
Check the machine for the following: The front cover is not closed. Close the cover. Paper is jammed. Clear the paper jam. See page 39. No paper is loaded. Load paper. See page 28. The toner cartridge is not installed. Install the toner cartridge. If a system error occurs, contact your service representative. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect it.
The connection cable between the computer and the machine is not connected properly. The connection cable between the computer and the machine is defective. The port setting is incorrect.
If possible, attach the cable to another computer that is working properly and print a job. You can also try using a different printer cable. Check the Windows printer setting to make sure that the print job is sent to the correct port. If the computer has more than one port, make sure that the machine is attached to the correct one. Check the printer properties to ensure that all of the print settings are correct. Repair the printer software. See the Software section. Check the LEDs status on the control panel to see if the machine is indicating a system error. Set the correct paper size in the custom in the paper tab in the printer properties.

The paper keeps jamming.

Envelopes skew or fail to feed correctly.
The machine may be configured incorrectly. The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. The machine is malfunctioning.
Ensure the paper guides are against both sides of the envelopes.
The machine does not print special sized paper such as a billing paper.
Paper size and paper size setting do not match.

Troubleshooting_ 41

CONDITION The machine selects print materials from the wrong paper source.
POSSIBLE CAUSE The paper source selection in the printer properties may be incorrect.
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Thin Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. See the printer driver help screen. Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print quality settings. Change the page orientation in your application. See the printer driver help screen. Ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the paper in the tray. Or, ensure that the paper size in the printer driver settings matches the paper selection in the software application settings you use. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect. Try a print job that you have already printed successfully. If possible, attach the cable and the machine to another computer and try a print job that you know works. Finally, try a new printer cable. Check the applications printer selection menu to ensure that your machine is selected. Try printing a job from another application. Exit Windows and reboot the computer. Turn the machine off and then back on again. Redistribute the toner, if necessary. See page 34. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages. Contact a service representative.
CONDITION The printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing. Your machine has an odd smell during initial use. The print quality of photos is not good. Images are not clear. Before printing, the machine emits vapor near the output tray.
POSSIBLE CAUSE Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products.

42 _Troubleshooting

CONDITION Toner specks
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See page 25. The paper path may need cleaning. See "Cleaning the inside" on page 32.
CONDITION Color or Black background
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable: Change to a lighter weight paper. See page 25. Check the machines 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 35. Clean the inside of the machine. See page 32. Check the paper type and quality. See page 25. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 35.
AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc

Dropouts

If faded areas, generally rounded, 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 25. The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper. Change the printer option and try again. Go to printer properties, click Paper tab, and set type to Thick Paper. Refer to the Software section for details. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative. White spots appear on the page: The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from the paper falls to the inner devices within the machine, which means the transfer belt may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. Contact a service representative. The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.

Toner smear

Vertical repetitive defects

White Spots

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. After the printout, if you still have the same problems, remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 35. Parts of the machine 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 results from bits of toner randomly 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 the printer properties.

These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the message appears in ready mode or after printing has been completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred.
The machine does not print whole pages and its output is half page printed.
Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation that came with your computer for further information on Windows error messages.

Common Linux problems

CONDITION The machine does not print. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device. Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains (stopped) string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. Check if your application has special print option such as -oraw. If -oraw is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select print -> Setup printer and edit command line parameter in the command item.
I encounter error Unable to open mfp port device file! when printing a document.
When printing a document over the network in SuSE 9.2, the printer does not print.
Refer to Linux Users Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.
Some color images come out all black.
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space of the document is indexed color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.

Duty Cycle

Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day.

Coverage

It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and corrects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes caused by telephone line noise.
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.

Emulation

Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as another.

50 _Glossary

An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different system, so that the second system behaves like the first system. Emulation focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is in contrast to simulation, which concerns an abstract model of the system being simulated, often considering its internal state.

Intranet

A private network that uses Internet Protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website.

Ethernet
