Operating Environment
When selecting a location for the printer, check the following guidelines: Make sure the location is at and sturdy. When power is on (printer plugged into an AC outlet): Temperature: 10C-32.5C (50F-90.5F) Relative humidity: 20-80% RH with no condensation Make sure the surrounding area is well ventilated. The printer must not be in a direct draft. Avoid placing the printer in the following locations: Under direct sunlight, near heaters, air conditioners, or open ames.
Strong light entering the printer unit causes the internal cartridge drum surface to deteriorate and degrades the printing. Near magnets or equipment that generates magnetic elds. Near areas subject to vibration. In dusty places or places where the air contains high concentrations of salt or corrosive gases. Near water pipes and refrigerators. If humidity is less than 30%, use a humidier or an anti-static mat to prevent buildup of electrostatic charges. If the room temperature rises abruptly, or the printer is moved from a cool and dry place to a warm and humid place, condensation may form inside the printer and cause problems with paper delivery or a deterioration in print quality and, in some cases, result in printer error. To prevent this, allow the printer to sit for an hour or more to adjust to the new temperature.
xi

Plain Paper
Follow these guidelines when selecting paper: Paper that is too thick or too thin, or that has irregular shapes, cutouts, or perforations should not be used. Never use paper that is wet, highly textured, rough, torn, wrinkled, or damaged. Extremely smooth paper or paper with special coatings does not print well. The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at about 190 C (374 F). Do not use thermal or carbon paper, or paper with glue, staples, clips, or ribbons. For colored paper, use colors that are not damaged by the heat of the printers xing assembly (about 190 C or 374 F).
Transparencies
The acceptable sizes are Letter or A4. The transparencies must be able to withstand the heat generated by the xing assembly (about 190 C or 374 F) without damage.
Chapter 2
Paper Handling
Paper Handling
Labels
Labels are paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acceptable sizes are Letter and A4. Note the following conditions when choosing a label sheet: The label print face (top, or face sheet) must be made of ordinary, matte-nish paper similar to copy paper. The paper backing must be able to withstand the heat generated by the xing assembly (about 190 C or 374 F). The backing must not be made of easily removable coated paper. Do not use labels with exposed adhesive, which may stick to the EP22 cartridge or the xing roller, causing the labels to peel off and serious paper jams to occur.
Envelopes
Follow these guidelines when printing on envelopes: Envelopes must not have any fasteners, snaps, or windows, or be made of articial materials. Do not use envelopes that discolor or melt at about 190 C (374 F), envelopes which might emit dangerous fumes when heated, or envelopes that seal with pressure-sensitive adhesives. Do not use envelopes which are damaged, curled or wrinkled, or that have an irregular shape. Do not use oversized envelopes, or envelopes with folds.
10
Paper Handling
Chapter 2
Poorly manufactured envelopes are not recommended.
Postcards
Follow these guidelines when printing on postcards: Postcards should not be greater than 0.28 mm in thickness. Postcards should be free of glue, clips, and staples. Do not use postcards that are damaged or curled, or that have special coatings or an irregular shape.
Chapter 2
Paper Handling
11
Paper Handling
Storing Paper
Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper: Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity. Do not store paper directly on the oor as the oor is usually humid. If you must store paper in a very humid place, use a specially designed storage box. Keep paper on a at surface to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl. Do not stack paper too high to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl. Do not subject paper to direct sunlight or a humid environment. If paper is moved to a place with a very different temperature, leave it there for about one day before using it; otherwise it could curl or develop wrinkles.
12
Paper Handling
Chapter 2
Paper Path
Understanding how paper travels inside the printer helps you better handle paper loading and jams. A sheet of paper enters the printer from the MP tray or the manual feed slot. It travels to the image transfer area where the printer drum has been statically charged. A laser beam changes the static charge on the drum and toner clings to those parts of the drum. As the paper rolls across the drum, the toner transfers to the paper. The toner is then fused to the paper by the xing assembly. The paper either comes out from the face-up delivery slot or travels to the face-down delivery slot, depending on the paper delivery method selected.
Chapter 2
Paper Handling
13
Paper Handling
Selecting Paper Delivery

Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery. When the selector is in the lower position, face-up delivery is selected. When the selector is in the upper position, face-down delivery is selected.
Face-down
Face-up
Face-down Delivery
Use face-down delivery for plain paper only. Printouts are stacked in order in the face-down delivery slot (which can hold up to 100 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper). To select face-down delivery, move the paper delivery selector up.
Do not replace paper in the face-down delivery slot once it is removed from the slot. This could result in damage to the aps inside the slot. Never insert paper or other objects into the face-down delivery slot.
14
Paper Handling
Chapter 2
Face-up Delivery
Use face-up delivery for envelopes and transparencies, as well as other special paper, including non-standard sized plain paper. Printouts come out from the face-up delivery slot face up. This helps prevent paper curl. To select face-up delivery, push the paper delivery selector down.
Do not pull on the printout while it is still emerging from the face-up delivery slot. Do not switch the paper delivery selector until the printout has completely come out of the delivery slot. Switching the paper delivery selector while printing could cause a paper jam. Make sure there is enough room at the front of the printer for the paper to exit.
15
Paper Handling
Loading Paper into the MP Tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold up to approximately 125 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper for high-volume printing. Acceptable paper sizes are Legal, Letter, A4, Executive, and B5. It also accepts transparencies, envelopes, postcards, or special paper with a maximum height of 12.5 mm. Before loading paper on the MP tray, rst select the paper delivery. For envelopes, transparencies, labels, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and facedown delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper with weight between 64 and 105 g/m2. For more details, see Selecting Paper Delivery on page 14. Follow the steps below to load a stack of paper. Make sure that the input paper support is inserted into its slot in the printer.

1.
Prepare a stack of paper and tap it on a at surface to properly align the edges.
Do not fan the paper, or printing problems might occur. When using transparencies, slightly fan the stack of transparencies before loading them in the MP tray to prevent feed failures. 2. Align the stack of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer. The top edge of the paper stack should be toward the bottom of the MP tray. Slide the stack in until it stops.

The manual feed slot allows you to load paper manually, one sheet at a time. You can load transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, or other special paper. You can also load plain paper, which is useful when you want to use paper that is a different size from the paper in the MP tray. Before loading paper manually, always select the paper delivery rst. For transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and face-down delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper with weight between 64 and 105 g/m2. For details, see Selecting Paper Delivery on page 14. Align the sheet of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer and the top of the paper is inserted rst. Slide the sheet of paper into the manual feeding slot until it stops (see in the illustrations below). Adjust the paper guides to the sheet of paper (see in the illustrations below).

Standard paper
Envelopes
The manual feed has priority over the MP tray. Often applications will let you change the feeding direction of envelopes. Conrm the feeding direction of envelopes before printing. If a postcard is not fed smoothly into the printer, gently push the top of the postcard downwards until the roller inside the printer takes the card and feeds it into the printer.

Do not force the paper into the printer or printing problems might result. For continuous manual feed, insert a new sheet only when the previous sheet has come out completely from the delivery slot. If a new sheet is inserted before the previous sheet has been delivered, a paper jam may occur.

Printer Sharing
Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing with the LBP-810 printer requires that both the print server and the client devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later. The print server and client do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server, or vice versa. You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started. If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000, you can print, even if no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is shown on the client.
Connecting the LBP-810 as a Network Printer

If you plan to share the LBP-810 on a network, install the print server locally, then make the following settings. See your print server system documentation for more information.

Printing with the CAPT

The CAPT offers bi-directional communication between the computer and printer. To take advantage of the bi-directional communication, one end of a bi-directional parallel cable connects to the printer and the other end connects directly to your computer.
You must use a bi-directional cable for proper operation. Every time you print, the CAPT displays the Canon LBP-810 Status Window. This window shows you the paper moving through the printer, how long it will take to print the document, and how much of the document has printed. From the Status Window you can pause, resume, or delete the current print job.
If a printing problem occurs, the Canon LBP-810 Status Window automatically opens and identies the problem. Before using the CAPT, make sure you select it as your current Windows printer driver. During Setup, the installation program makes the CAPT the default printer driver. If you have not changed printers since running the Setup program, you are ready to print.

Different halftone patterns give different gray shade results. Brightness is the relative proportion of light and dark areas. Decreasing brightness darkens the overall image; increasing brightness lightens it. Brightness is expressed as a relative range from -80% to +80%. Contrast is the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. Decreasing contrast lightens the dark areas and darkens the light areas; increasing it darkens the dark areas and lightens the light areas. Contrast is expressed as a relative range from -80% to +80%.

Print Quality Problems

Printout Has Vertical White Streaks
Vertical white streaks, similar to the sample below, result when toner is low or unevenly distributed.
Corrective action
1. 2. Open the front cover and take out the EP-22 cartridge. Rock the cartridge gently from side to side ve or six times to evenly distribute the toner inside. (For more information, see Installing the EP-22 Cartridge in the Getting Started Guide.) Insert the cartridge into the printer. Close the front cover and try to print again.
Troubleshooting
3. 4.
If the problem persists, the cartridge has probably expired. Replace it with a new one, using the steps described in Installing the EP-22 Cartridge in the Getting Started Guide. When purchasing a replacement cartridge, make sure you get the right one for this printer: a Canon EP-22 cartridge. The EP-22 cartridge typically lasts for about 2,500 prints of Letter- or A4-size paper, assuming the printer is used for standard word processing documents printed at the default density, and at 4% dot ratio (equivalent to print coverage of approximately 5%). The actual cartridge life depends on the average page coverage of your printed documents.
119
Printout Has Black Specks

If toner powder adheres to the pressure roller, black specks 1 mm in diameter or larger might appear on the front or back of the printed paper.
Corrective action
1. 2. 3. Use the Options menu in the Status Window to print the cleaning page on a blank sheet of paper. If there are no black specks on the cleaning page, the pressure roller is clean. If there are black specks on the cleaning page, repeat step 1 until there are no black specks on the cleaning page. You may repeat this procedure several times with no adverse effect on the printer.
Printout Too Light

This occurs with high-volume printing in a hot environment.
Corrective action
1. 2. Increase the printing density. If this has no effect, replace the EP-22 cartridge.
Printout Too Dark

If there is a strong light source near the printer, the prints may be too dark.
Corrective action
1. 2. Check whether the density adjustment is correct. If not, adjust the density. Check whether there is a strong light source near the printer. If there is, move the printer or the light source.

Chapter 5 Maintenance
This chapter describes how to care for and maintain your printer. Regular care and maintenance helps keep your printer in good working order. This chapter includes the following information: Handling and Cleaning the Printer EP-22 Cartridge
Handling and Cleaning the Printer

Handling the Printer
Note the following points when handling the printer: Do not place any heavy objects on the printer. Do not insert paper or other objects into the face-down delivery slot. When the printer is printing, do not rock or move the printer, and do not open the front cover. If you do, the printer might be damaged. Do not subject the manual feeding slot area to direct sunlight or other strong light.
Maintenance
After unplugging it from the AC outlet, wait until the printer has cooled off completely before covering it with a dust cover. If you are not going to use the printer for an extended period of time, unplug it from the AC outlet. Never attempt to disassemble the printer.
Chapter 5
Maintenance
133
Cleaning the Printer

Clean the printer cabinet regularly to keep the printer in its best condition. To clean the printer, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid using any other type of solvents, such as alcohol or benzine, which might damage the surface. When nished cleaning, wipe the cabinet with a dry cloth. Before cleaning the printer, always unplug it from the AC outlet. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer. Otherwise the printer will be damaged and electric shock may even occur.
Do not lubricate the printer. This printer does not require lubrication.
EP-22 Cartridge
The EP-22 cartridge contains a photosensitive part called a drum which has characteristics similar to photo lm. It also contains black carbon powder called toner. The drum is extremely sensitive to light and might deteriorate if exposed to light. Also, poor print quality can result if toner becomes caked or unevenly distributed inside the cartridge. Please adhere to the following guidelines when storing or handling the cartridge.
134 Maintenance
Chapter 5
Storage Guidelines
Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the cartridge in the printer. Do not store the cartridge where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If the toner becomes caked in the cartridge, it may prove impossible to free it even by shaking the cartridge, and print quality can deteriorate. Do not store the cartridge at a high temperature or in high humidity, or in places where the temperature or humidity can change abruptly. Store the cartridge at temperatures between 0C and 35C (between 32F and 95F). Do not store the cartridge in salty air or where there are corrosive gases such as those from aerosol sprays. Keep the cartridge away from a monitor's cathode ray tube (CRT), disk drives and oppy disks. The magnet in the cartridge can distort the image on the CRT, or damage data on disks.
Maintenance
Chapter 5
Maintenance
135
Handling Guidelines
Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight. Do not expose it to bright light or to room light for more than 5 minutes. Do not open the drums protective shutter on the cartridge. If the shutter is open and the drum is damaged, print quality might deteriorate. Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If the toner becomes caked in the cartridge, it might prove impossible to free it even by shaking the cartridge, which results in print quality deterioration. Keep the cartridge away from a monitor's cathode ray tube (CRT), disk drives and oppy disks. The magnet in the cartridge can distort the image on the CRT, or damage data on disks. Do not touch the drums protective shutter. Avoid holding the cartridge in such a way that your hand is touching the drums protective shutter. When transporting the printer, remove the cartridge from the printer. (Put the cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it with thick cloth to prevent exposure to light.)

136 Maintenance
Chapter 5
CAUTION: Do not dispose of toner cartridges in re. Toner powder is ammable.
Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge.
Replacing the EP-22 Cartridge

The EP-22 cartridge typically lasts for about 2,500 prints of Letter or A4size paper. This assumes that the printer is used for standard word processing documents printed at the default density, and at 4% dot ratio (equivalent to print coverage of approximately 5%). The actual cartridge life depends on the average page coverage of your printed documents. If your documents have on average less text with lots of white space, the cartridge lasts longer. However, if you frequently print graphics and text, the cartridge life is shorter. When a print quality problem cannot be corrected following the steps in chapter 4, Troubleshooting, it is probably time to replace the cartridge with a new one. 1. Grasp the top of the front cover on both sides, then gently pull the cover until it is fully open.
Chapter 5
Maintenance
137
Maintenance
CAUTION: The shaded part of the face-up delivery area is hot when the printer is in use. Be careful not to touch this area, because personal injury might result.
2.
Grasp the EP-22 cartridge by its handle and lift it out of the printer.
3.
Install a new cartridge. For details, see Installing the EP-22 Cartridge in the Getting Started Guide.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of toner cartridges in re. Toner powder is ammable.
138 Maintenance
Chapter 5
Cleaning
Whenever you replace the EP-22 cartridge and the printing quality is poor, you may need to use the Cleaning function. Follow the instructions below. 1. 2. 3. Place letter or A4-size paper in the MP tray. Click on the printer icon in the taskbar to open the Status Window. From the Options menu, click Cleaning. A cleaning sheet starts printing.

Network Adapter
Connecting Directly From Clients

Centralized control of print jobs is not available because print queues are distributed among all clients. When multiple jobs compete, jobs print in the order of arrival at the network adapter. Jobs may not arrive in the order they were sent. For example, if client 1 enters jobs A and B, and then client 2 enters job C, the print order might be A, C, then B, if job B did not arrive at the network adapter until job A was completed. You must install the print monitor for the network adapter on each client. When using the Add Printer wizard, you must connect directly to the network. Since the printer port is treated as a local port, choose AXIS CAPT Port in the port settings dialog box.
144 Network Adapter
