The EP-22 cartridge contains a photosensitive part called the “drum,” which has characteristics similar to photo film. It also contains black carbon powder called “toner.” The drum is extremely sensitive to light and may deteriorate if exposed to light. Poor print quality can result if the toner becomes caked or unevenly distributed inside the cartridge. Follow the instructions below when handling the cartridge.
❏ Do not stand the cartridge on end, or turn it upside down. Toner could become caked in the cartridge resulting in poor print quality. ❏ Keep the cartridge away from a monitor’s cathode ray tube (CRT), disk drives, and floppy disks. The magnet inside the cartridge can destroy the image data in the CRT, or data on the disks. CAUTION: Do not dispose of toner cartridges in fire. Toner powder is flammable. 1. Remove the cartridge from its protective bag. Save the protective bag.
Place the cartridge on a sturdy surface. Snap the tab at the end of the cartridge backwards and fold it back and forth until it is loose. 4. While holding the cartridge firmly with one hand, pull the sealing tape in the direction indicated in the illustration below. English 3. Pull in this direction Pull within this angle The tape may snap if pulled in a direction wider than the indicated angle. 5. Grasp the top of the front cover on both sides, then gently pull until the cover is fully open.
6. Insert the cartridge into the printer along the guides. Make sure that the cartridge slides all the way inside the printer. Do not touch the drum’s protective shutter. 7. Always close the front cover immediately after inserting a cartridge. Do not leave the front cover open. Exposure to light can damage the cartridge’s drum.
Insert the paper supports firmly into the slots at the front and back of the printer. The slots have guides to ensure the correct support is in the correct slot. Slot Guide Supports should curve slightly towards the rear of the printer. Do not insert a support so that it curves towards the front of the printer. To remove the paper supports, lift them out of the slots.
Connecting the Printer to Your Computer Before connecting the printer to your computer, make sure the power to your computer is turned off. 1. Connect one end of the interface cable to your printer.

Selecting Paper Delivery Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery. Face-down Face-up Face-down Delivery Use face-down delivery for plain paper only.

The MP (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. 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 flat surface to properly align the edges. 2. Align the stack of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer.
3. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the stack of paper. For A4-size or Letter/Legal-size paper, align the paper guides with the icons inside the MP tray.
