Loading paper

This laser printer supplies paper to the printer by feeding paper into the unit automatically from one of four universal cassettes.

Universal cassette

The universal cassette can be used to feed the following paper sizes: A3T, B4T, A4T/Y, A5T, B5T/Y, B6T, LedgerT, LegalT, LetterT/Y, ExecutiveT/Y, InvoiceT, 7 x 8 1???2". (T means lengthwise feeding and Y means crosswise feeding.) See Appendix A for more information on paper sizes. 350 sheets of paper can be loaded in each of the 4 universal cassettes.

NOTE: B5Y and B6T feed from upper 3 cassettes only.

1.Pull the universal cassette out as far as it will go from the cabinet.

USA only

Swing up the lift-up plate release lever to lower the paper lift-up plate in the cassette.

2.Change the switch position located on the rear right side in the cassette, depending on the paper size to be used.

Metric

Switch to ???Inch??? when paper size is 11 x 17" (LedgerT), 8-1/2 x 14" (LegalT), 8-1/2 x 11" (LetterT/Y), 7-1/4 x 10-1/2" (ExecutiveT/Y), 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" (InvoiceT), or 7 x 8 1/2".*

All trays must be set to ???Inch??? if the previous paper sizes are used.

*All trays must have the same size paper to use the Digital Workstation or Network Node AUTO feature.

3.While holding the cassette, depress and spread the front paper guide wider than the paper size to be used.

4.Slide the green resin plate of the right paper guide toward the right side wider than the paper size to be used.

NOTE: Be sure to slide the resin plate and not to hold the lever part, as that may bend it.

5.When you load the ledgerT size paper, slide the right paper guide all the way to the right side and remove the lever by depressing it from the both sides. And insert the edges of the lever in the position shown in the illustration.

6.Align the stack of paper and set the paper in the cassette with the sealed surface down. While holding the cassette, slide and fit the front and right paper guides to the paper edges.

NOTE: Be sure to slide the resin plate to move the right paper guide. Check that the top level of the paper does not exceed the line marked on the rear paper guide.

Clearing paper jams

Inside the paper supply cabinet (J1 error)

When a paper jam occurs, remove the paper jammed in each section according to the following procedures.

1.Pull the paper cassettes out from the printer and check if the paper in each cassette is stored correctly. If the paper is not stored correctly, remove the jammed piece of paper. Push the paper cassettes back into position.

2.Open the paper supply cabinet door (C2) and remove any paper. Close the paper supply cabinet door.

3.If the leading edge of jammed paper has been fed into the printer, open the front cover, send the paper into the printer by rotating the transport roller knob (M5), and remove the paper. (Refer to the ???Jam Removal Diagram??? label inside the printer front cover.) Close the front cover.

Inside the printer (J2 or J3 error)

1.Open the front cover and release lever M2 to unlock the vacuum unit.

M4 M3

3. When the leading edge of jammed paper has reached into the fusing unit, remove the paper toward the inside of the printer while depressing and rotating the roller knob (M1) in the direction of the arrow.

NOTE: Rotate the roller knob (M1) only in the direction of the arrow and do not remove the paper by pulling it into the paper exit direction.

Inside the sorter and sorter interface unit (J4 or J6 error)

Lock Release Lever

1. Press the lock release lever of the 20-bin sorter to open the sorter.

2.Open the transport guide plates (upper and lower) of the sorter to check if the paper is jammed inside the option. If the

paper has jammed, remove the paper. Close the transport guide plates. (Refer to ???Removing Jammed Paper??? diagram label as shown in illustration.)

NOTE: Open the lower transport guide plate for the 20-bin sorter to check if the paper jammed inside. (Refer to ???Removing Jammed Paper??? diagram label as shown in illustration.)

NOTE:

??? Dimension A cannot be greater than 11.7 in.

B(297 mm).

???Dimension B must be 8.25 in. (209.6 mm) or greater. Smaller sizes may cause paper jams.

Installation environment

Power source

Select the proper environment for using the printer to obtain the optimum service from your printer. It should NOT be placed in a location:

???which is exposed to direct sunlight.

???which is in the direct air stream of a cooler, heater, or ventilator.

???where the temperature and the humidity are extremely high or low. The room temperature should be 10???35??C (50???95??F) and humidity should be 15???85% RH.

???which does not have a stable, level floor.

???which could easily get wet.

???which has poor ventilation and where ammonia gas might be generated.

???which is far from a power supply.

NOTE: Please contact your service representative when you need to move the printer to another place.

Before connecting the power cord of the printer to the outlet, check the following items:

???Only connect to a dedicated electrical socket-outlet.

???Use the printer in a place which is near an electrical outlet

and where there is little voltage fluctuation. (The power supply voltage should be specified voltage ??10% for imaging

and +10% or -15% for feeding. The power supply frequency should be specified ??1 Hz.)

???Do not plug the power cord into a multi-socket extension cord.

???At frequent intervals, check to see that the power plug is not abnormally hot, that there are not any cracks or scrapes on the cord, and that the power plug is fully inserted into the socket.

???Be sure to use an outlet made for a 3-pin plug.
