Maintenance Loading Paper The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray. Loading Paper into the Cassette Plain paper (80 g/m²) can be loaded in the paper cassette 1 and 2. 500 sheets (A4/Letter or smaller) or 250 sheets (B4/Legal or larger) can be loaded in the paper cassette 1. 500 sheets can be loaded in the paper cassette 2. Fan the paper, then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing.
Maintenance 2 Set the paper length guide to the selected paper size. NOTE: Paper size is printed on the paper cassette. 3 Set the paper width guide to the selected paper size with the paper width adjusting tab. NOTE: Paper size is printed on the paper cassette. To load paper of A4/letter or smaller, set the supplement lever of the paper length guide upright as illustrated. 4 Set paper aligning with the left side of the paper cassette.
Maintenance 5 Set the included paper sheet indicating the set paper size. 6 Slowly set back the paper cassette. Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray Extra paper (60 - 220 g/m²) as well as plain or recycled paper can be loaded. For plain paper (80 g/m²), 100 sheets (A4/Letter or smaller) or 50 sheets (B4/Legal or larger) can be loaded. Be sure to use the MP tray to print on extra paper such as OHP film or thick paper.
Maintenance 3 Set paper along the slider, and insert it until it stops. Be sure the slider touches the edge of paper. IMPORTANT: If you load a postcard or thick paper, be sure to flatten the paper before setting. Some paper cannot be loaded depending on paper type. Load paper into the MP tray only when it is in use. Avoid leaving paper in the MP tray. Do not exceed the upper limit of the tray. Otherwise, it may cause paper jams.
Maintenance 2 Set paper into the paper cassette. NOTE: Do not set folded paper. Otherwise, it may cause paper jams. Do not exceed the upper limit of the cassette. 3 Slowly set back the paper cassette.
Maintenance Toner Container Replacement Frequency of toner container replacement The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs. When 5% coverage (a typical business document) of individual toner colors is assumed for A4 or letter size paper: • The black toner container lasts an average of 15,000 monochrome pages. • The cyan, magenta, and yellow toner containers last an average of 7,000 color images.
Maintenance Replacing the Toner Container This section explains how to replace the toner containers. When replacing the toner container of any color, always replace the waste toner box at the same time. If this box is full, the printer may be damaged or contaminated by the waste toner that may spill out of the box. NOTE: During toner container replacement, temporarily put storage media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away from around the toner container.
Maintenance 5 Cover the toner hole with the cap on the rear side of the container. 6 Insert the container into the plastic bag provided for empty containers. 7 Remove a new toner container from the carton box. 8 Hold the new toner container with the toner container lock lever up, and tap the upper part of the container 10 times or more. Do not tilt the container. 9 Hold the toner container with both hands as illustrated, and shake the container strongly 10 times or more.
Maintenance 11 Be sure to insert the upper part of the container until you hear a clicking sound. When the toner container is correctly set, it will be locked. 12 Set back the toner container lock lever to the original position. Replace other color toner containers in the same way. 13 Press the release lever of the waste toner box (B), and then pull out the waste toner box slowly.
