Loading Paper in the Paper Cassette The paper cassette can be loaded with plain paper and heavy paper (91 - 120 g/ m2) at sizes of A4, B5, A5, Legal, Letter, and Executive. When the paper source has run out of paper, a message indicating there is no paper appears in the Printer Status Window, and the < > (Load Paper) indicator (orange) comes on or blinks. In this case, refill paper. Loading and Outputting Paper 2 Load paper in the paper cassette using the following procedure.
1 Pull out the paper cassette. CAUTION Be sure to take the paper cassette out of the printer before loading paper. If paper is loaded while the paper cassette is partially pulled out, the paper cassette may drop or the printer may become damaged resulting in personal injury. 2 When changing the size of the paper to be loaded, change the positions of the paper guides. ● While holding the lock release lever of the side paper guides, slide the guides to the mark for the size of the paper to be loaded.
NOTE If you are using B5 size paper (182 mm x 257 mm), set the paper guide to "JIS B5". ● While holding the lock release lever of the rear paper guide, slide the guide to the size mark for the paper to be loaded. Align the position of (A) with the mark for the size of the paper to be loaded. Loading and Outputting Paper 2 (A) IMPORTANT Do not use the "8.5 x 13" position. 3 2-20 Load the paper stack so that the rear edge is aligned with the paper guide.
CAUTION When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the paper. NOTE To print letterhead paper or paper printed with a logo, load the paper so that the printing side is facing down, as shown in the following figure. ( : Feeding direction) Loading Paper in the Paper Cassette 2-21 2 Loading and Outputting Paper IMPORTANT • Be sure to check if the paper guide is at the position of the size of the loaded paper.
4 Hold down the paper as shown in the figure, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit marks (A), and then set it under the hooks (B) on the paper guides. Make sure that there is sufficient space between the hooks of the paper guides and the paper stack. If there is no sufficient space, slightly reduce the amount of paper. (A) Loading and Outputting Paper 2 (B) (B) IMPORTANT The following shows the paper capacity of the paper cassette.
6 Register the size of the loaded paper using the following procedure. This printer's paper cassette cannot automatically detect the paper size.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge This section describes how to replace or handle the toner cartridge and precautions on storing it. Contact the store where you purchased the printer to obtain replacement toner cartridge. IMPORTANT A warning message does not appear on your computer even if the toner cartridge is nearing the end of its life.
CAUTION Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains. NOTE For details on handling the toner cartridge, see "Precautions for Handling Toner Cartridge," on p. 5-14. 1 Open the front cover. Holding the opening of the front cover, open it gently.
IMPORTANT Do not touch the high-voltage contact (A) or the electrical contacts (B) shown in the figure, as this may result in damage to the printer. (A) (B) 5 Routine Maintenance 3 Hold the toner cartridge as shown in the figure, shake it gently 5 or 6 times to evenly distribute the toner inside the cartridge. Be careful not to spill the toner. IMPORTANT • If toner is not distributed evenly, this may result in deterioration in print quality. Be sure to carry out this procedure properly.
Hold the toner cartridge properly with the arrowed side facing up as shown in the figure.
5 Push the toner cartridge into the printer until it touches the back of the printer while aligning (A) on both sides of the toner cartridge with the toner cartridge guides inside the printer.

4 5 Hold the toner cartridge as shown in the figure, shake it gently 5 or 6 times to evenly distribute the toner inside the cartridge. Routine Maintenance IMPORTANT • If toner is not distributed evenly, this may result in deterioration in print quality. Be sure to carry out this procedure properly. • Be sure to shake the toner cartridge gently. If you do not shake the cartridge gently, toner may spill out.
CAUTION If the sealing tape is pulled out forcefully or stopped at midpoint, toner may spill out. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician. IMPORTANT • Do not pull the sealing tape diagonally, upwards, or downwards. If the tape is severed, it may become difficult to pull out completely. • Pull out the sealing tape completely from the toner cartridge.
6 Hold the toner cartridge properly with the arrowed side facing up as shown in the figure.
Push the toner cartridge into the printer until it touches the back of the printer while aligning (A) on both sides of the toner cartridge with the toner cartridge guides inside the printer.
8 Close the front cover. Holding the opening of the front cover, close it gently. IMPORTANT • If you cannot close the front cover, check if the toner cartridge is installed properly. If you try to close the front cover forcefully, this may result in damage to the printer. • Do not leave the front cover open for a long time after installing the toner cartridge.

Also, print quality may deteriorate if you touch or damage the photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge. Be sure not to touch or open the drum protective shutter (B). (A) (B) • Be careful not to hold or touch areas that are not specified in this procedure, such as the 5 Routine Maintenance electrical contacts (C). This may result in damage to the cartridge.
• When handling the toner cartridge, hold it properly as shown in the figure and handle it with the arrowed side facing up. Do not place it vertically or upside-down. • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the toner cartridge. • Condensation may form in and on the toner cartridge if it is brought into an environment that exposes it to sudden changes in temperature and/or humidity.
Storing Toner Cartridges Be careful of the following points when storing a new toner cartridge or handling a toner cartridge that has been taken out of the printer for maintenance or moving the printer. ■ Condensation Even within the storable humidity range, water droplets may develop both inside and outside of the toner cartridge due to the difference in temperature. The development of water droplets is called condensation. Condensation will adversely affect the quality of the toner cartridge.
