Loading Paper

Loading Paper
This section explains how to load paper into the paper trays.

Precautions for Loading Paper

• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.

When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.

• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.

• After changing the paper size, be sure to specify the appropriate paper size in the [Tray Paper
Settings] menu. If you do not, misfeeds might occur. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings",
Operating Instructions.
• To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
• If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may
occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the
entire stack before loading it into the tray.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• For details about available paper sizes and types for each paper tray, see p.33 "Supported Paper
for Each Input Tray".
• Depending on the environment where the printer is being used, you might at times hear a rustling
noise from paper moving through the printer. This noise does not indicate a malfunction.

Unusable Paper

• Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of
conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.

Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper.
Doing so risks fire.

• To prevent faults, do not use any of the following kinds of treated paper:

2. Printing

• Paper for inkjet printers


• Thermal fax paper
• Art paper
• Aluminum foil
• Carbon paper
• Conductive paper
• Paper with perforated lines
• Hemmed-edge paper
• Window envelopes
• Faults can occur if you print onto sides that are already printed. Take care to print onto unprinted
sides only.
• Certain types of OHP transparencies for color printing cannot be used. For details about types that
can be used, contact your sales or service representative.

• To prevent misfeeds, do not use the following kinds of paper:


• Bent, folded, or creased paper
• Perforated paper
• Slippery paper
• Torn paper
• Rough paper
• Thin paper with little stiffness
• Paper with a dusty surface
• Even supported types of paper may cause paper jams or malfunctions if the paper is not in good
condition. (Sheets can become jammed if they have been improperly stored.)
• If you print onto rough grain paper, the output image might be blurred.
• Do not load sheets that have already been printed by another printer.

Paper Storage

When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed:


• Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas (humidity: 70% or less).
• Store on a flat surface.
• Do not store paper vertically.

Loading Paper

• Once opened, store paper in plastic bags.

Loading Paper into Paper Trays

In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 2.

• Check the paper edges are aligned at the right side.


• Slide the side fences until they are aligned with the sides of the paper, and then re-lock the side
fences. If there is space between the side fences and the paper, it may cause the image to be
misaligned or thin paper may wrinkle.
• When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences in too tightly. If the
side fences are squeezed too tightly against the paper, the edges may crease, thin paper may
wrinkle, or the paper may be misfed.
• If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side
fences may slip out of place.

1. Carefully pull out the paper tray until it stops.

Printing on Envelopes

Printing on Envelopes
Loading Envelopes

This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning envelopes.

• Do not use window envelopes.


• Fan the envelopes before loading them to separate them and prevent the glue on them from
causing them to stick together. If fanning does not prevent them sticking together, load them one by
one. Note that some types of envelopes cannot be used with this printer.
• Misfeeds might occur depending on the length and shape of the flaps.
• Only envelopes that are at least 148 mm (5.9 inches) wide and whose flaps are open can be
loaded in the orientation.
• When loading envelopes in the orientation, load them with flaps fully open. Otherwise, they
might not feed into the printer.
• Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air from inside, flatten out all four
edges. If they are bent or curled, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the printer) by
running a pencil or ruler across them.
The method for loading envelopes varies depending on the orientation of the envelopes. Be sure to load
envelopes with the correct orientation.

*1 You cannot load side-opening envelopes in the landscape orientation in Trays 2–4.
When loading envelopes, use both User Tools and the printer driver to select "Envelope" as the paper
type and specify the thickness of the envelopes. For details, see p.65 "Printing on Envelopes", Printer.
To print on envelopes that are loaded with their short edges against the printer body, rotate the print
image by 180 degrees using the printer driver.
Recommended envelopes
For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
The size of envelopes that you can load depends on the tray in which you load them. For details,
see p.33 "Supported Paper for Each Input Tray".

• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.


• The Duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
• To achieve better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.
• The output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses.
Print one or two envelopes to check the print quality.
• When printing onto envelopes, the print speed is slower than usual.
• Printed sheets are delivered to the internal tray even if you specified a different tray.
• Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check that the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.
• Depending on the environment, printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they are
recommended.

• Certain types of envelopes might be output creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If you are printing a
solid color on an envelope, lines may appear where the overlapped edges of the envelope make it
thicker.

When the Color Registration Shifts

When the Color Registration Shifts


After moving the printer, printing on thick paper, or printing repeatedly for some time, color degradation
may occur. By performing automatic color adjustment, you can restore optimum print quality.

When the Printed Color Changes


Color gradation during color printing can change slightly, depending on a number of factors. If you
print the same file repeatedly or toner was recently replaced, changes may occur in color tones. In such
cases, you can obtain optimal print results by correcting the color gradation.

• Color gradation correction is not required under normal circumstances.


• If a printer is not used for some time, changes can occur in color tones.
• If suitable results cannot be obtained after a single correction, repeat the correction several times
as needed.
• Corrections to color gradation will be applied to all user jobs.
• Use the same type of paper when printing a run of gradation corrections. If a different type of
paper is used, corrections may not be apparent.
• This feature requires the use of the supplied Color Calibration Sample Sheet.
• Corrections to color gradation are performed in the following order:
1. Print gradation correction sheet 1.
2. Adjust the parts of highlight colors.
Set the correction value.
Print the gradation correction sheet, and then check the result of the correction.
3. Print gradation correction sheet 2.
Adjust the parts of middle colors.
Set the correction value.
Print the gradation correction sheet, and then check the result of the correction.
4. Save the correction value.

Setting the Gradation Correction Value

Correct the gradation in two areas: bright areas (highlights), and medium areas (midtones). [Print Test
Pattern 1 for Calibration] is used to set the correction value for highlights, and [Print Test Pattern 2 for
Calibration] is used for mid tones.

1. Press [Color Calibration] on the [Maintenance: Image] screen.


For details about how to access the [Maintenance: Image] screen, see "Displaying the Printer
Configuration Screens Using the Control Panel", Operating Instructions.
Press [ ] to switch the screen.

4. Press [Print Test Pattern 1 for Calibration] or [Print Test Pattern 2 for Calibration] to print
the selected sheet.
5. Select the color you want to adjust.
6. Press [ ] or [ ] to adjust the correction value for the selected color, and then press [OK].
Enter the value between 0 and 6.
7. Press [Print Result] to check the result by printing the calibration sheet.
8. After printing, press [Yes] to save the settings.
9. Press the [User Tools] key.

Gradation Correction Sheet

The Color Calibration Sample Sheet contains two color sample columns “sample 1” column for
adjusting highlights and “sample 2” column for adjusting midtones.
The gradation correction sheet contains “gradation correction sheet 1” for adjusting highlights and
“gradation correction sheet 2” for adjusting midtones. Gradation correction sheet 1 is used for
correction 1, and gradation correction sheet 2 is used for correction 2.
Color sample and correction values
The following explains how to view the color sample of the Color Calibration Sample Sheet and
the correction values of the gradation correction sheet.
This explanation uses setting K (black) as an example. The setting method for M (magenta) is
similar. For C/Y (cyan/yellow), the correction value is determined based on a combination of
these two colors, although panel settings are configured for each color separately.

• Hold the correction value (0 to 6) for “K” of the correction value setting sheet over the color
sample of gradation correction 1 of the Color Calibration Sample Sheet and find the
corrected color closest to that of the color sample. Then, enter the corresponding number
using the operation panel. The currently set correction value is printed in red.

Removing Jammed Paper


Remove the jammed paper by following the procedures stated in the animation that appears on the
screen and the sticker or sheet inside the front cover. This section describes how to remove jammed
paper if the procedure is not displayed on the screen.

• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the
"hot surface." Otherwise, an injury might occur.

• Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when
removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns.

• Keep your hands clear of the booklet finisher tray when removing misfed paper, pulling out or
pushing in the finisher's staple unit. You can trap and injure your fingers if you do not.

• When removing jammed paper, make sure not to trap or injure your fingers.

• To prevent misfeeds, do not leave any torn scraps of paper inside the printer.
• Contact your service representative if misfeeds occur frequently.
• If the error message remains displayed even after you remove misfed paper, open and close the
front cover.
• If the error message "Paper Misfeed (C)" is displayed, pay attention to the following:
• When removing jammed paper, touch only those areas explicitly indicated in the manual.
• Do not remove the fusing unit. Doing so will result in loss of print quality.
• To remove paper that has not been fed into the fixing section correctly, remove the jammed
paper through the underside of the fusing unit. If the jammed paper cannot be removed
through the underside of the fusing unit, remove it from the top.

• Inside the finisher, or inside the front cover, there are stickers or sheets explaining how to remove
misfed paper.
• If a detailed removal instruction appears on the right of the screen, follow it.
• You can also use the procedure indicated in the [Check Status] screen to remove jammed paper.

If a staple jam occurs, remove the jammed staple by following the procedures stated in the animation
that appears on the screen. This section describes how to remove jammed staples when the procedure is
not displayed on the screen.

• Keep your hands clear of the booklet finisher tray when removing misfed paper, pulling out or
pushing in the finisher's staple unit. You can trap and injure your fingers if you do not.

• Curled paper may cause staples to jam. To avoid this, turn paper over in the tray.
• When the finisher is installed, after removing jammed staples, staples will not be ejected the first
few times you try to use the stapler.

• Remove the jammed staples according to the finisher type. Check the type if you are unsure. For
details about type of finisher, see "Guide to Functions of the Printer's Options", Operating
Instructions.

4. Replenishing and Replacing
Consumables
This section explains how to replenish consumables and staples when they run out.

Adding Toner
This section explains precautions when adding toner when it has run out, and how to dispose of used
toner.

• Do not incinerate toner (new or used) or toner containers. Doing so risks burns. Toner will ignite
on contact with naked flame.

• Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers anywhere near naked flames. Doing so
risks fire and burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.

• Do not use the cleaner to suck spilled toner (including used toner). Sucked toner may cause
firing or explosion due to electrical contact flickering inside the cleaner. However, it is possible
to use the cleaner designed for dust explosion-proof purpose. If toner is spilled over the floor,
sweep up spilled toner slowly and clean remainder with wet cloth.

• Do not crush or squeeze toner containers. Doing so can cause toner spillage, possibly resulting
in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental ingestion.

• Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been in contact with
toner out of reach of children.

• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air
environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.

4. Replenishing and Replacing Consumables

• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult
a doctor if necessary.

• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor
if necessary.

• When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your
clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with cold water.
Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and make removing the stain impossible.

• When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your
skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and
water.

• Always replace the toner cartridge when a notification appears on the machine.
• Fault may occur if you use toner other than the recommended type.
• When adding toner, do not turn off the main power. Otherwise, settings will be lost.
• Store toner where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), or
high humidity.
• Store toner on a flat surface.
• Do not shake the toner cartridge with the opening face down after removing it. Residual toner may
scatter.
• Do not repeatedly install and remove toner cartridges. This will result in toner leakage.
Replace the toner cartridge when the following messages appear on the display. Follow the instruction
on the screen regarding how to replace the toner cartridge.
" No toner. Replace Toner Cartridge."
" No color toner. Color toner is required to print in black & white with the current paper type. Replace
the color Print Cartridge or press [Job Reset] to cancel printing."
When the following message appears, the toner has almost run out. Have a replacement toner cartridge
at hand.
" Toner Cartridge is almost empty. Replace Toner Cartridge."

Adding Toner

• If appears when there is still toner in the cartridge, hold the cartridge with the opening face up,
shake it well, and then reinstall it.
• You can check the name of the required toner and the replacement procedure using the [ Add
Toner] screen.
• Press the [Check Status] key to check the contact number where you can order supplies. See p.75
"Checking Printer Status and Settings".
Disposing of Used Toner
The following describes what to do with used toner.
Toner cannot be re-used. Pack used toner containers in the container's box or a bag to prevent the
toner from leaking out of the container when you dispose of it.
(mainly Europe and Asia)
If you want to discard your used toner container, please contact your local sales office. If you
discard it by yourself, treat it as general plastic waste material.
(mainly North America)
Please see our local company website for information on the recycling of supply products, or you
can recycle items according to the requirements of your local municipalities or private recyclers.
