5.4 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 180° C (356° 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 180° C (356° 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 print 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. Ty p eGuidelines Loading paper Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray. The tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain paper. Using the standard tray To load paper, open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed on facing up. You can load letterhead paper with the design side face up. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be entered into the printer first. 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 180° C (356° 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. Notes • If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the manual tray. • You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge enter the printer first. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

5.5 Using the manual tray The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. It is useful for single page printing on special print media. To load paper in the manual tray: 1Load one sheet of paper with the side to be printed on facing up. Depending on the print media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines: • Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. • 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. Note • For transparency, hold it by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems. 2Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in a paper jam or skew. 3When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the software application. See the Software Section. Tips on using the manual tray • Load only one sheet of print media at a time in the manual tray. • To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the manual tray. This also applies to the standard tray. • Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual 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. Using manual feed mode You can manually load a sheet of print media in the manual tray if you select Manual Feeder 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. Load paper sheet-by-sheet in the manual tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the Cancel button on the control panel to print each following page.

8.3 Maintaining the toner cartridge 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 minutes. Expected cartridge life The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) 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, print media type, and print media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often. Redistributing toner cartridge When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life span: • White streaks and light printing occur. •The Error 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. 1Open the front cover. 2Pull the toner cartridge out. 3Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. 4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the printer.
