Supported sizes of paper Type Size Weighta Capacityb • 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 lb bond) for the tray • 60 to 163 g/m2 (16 to 43 lb bond) for the manual feed • 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper for the tray • 1 sheet for manual feeding 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) 1 sheet for manual feeding Dimensions Letter 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches) Legal 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) Folio 216 x 330.2 mm (8.5 x 13 inches) Oficio 216 x 343 mm (8.5 x 13.5 inches) A4 210 x 297 mm (8.26 x 11.
Media sizes supported in each mode Mode Size Guidelines for special print media Source Type Envelopes Single side printing All sizes supported by the machine • tray 1 • manual feed Duplex printinga Letter, A4, Legal, Folio, Oficio • tray 1 • manual feed a. 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) only.
Type Guidelines Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers. • Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 11.1. • Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer. • Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
Using tray 1 or the optional tray 2 1 Press and hold the guide lock, and slide the paper length guide to locate it in the correct paper size slot. Use the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in tray 1. Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper. You can purchase an optional tray 2 and attach it below tray 1 to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. To load paper, pull open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down.
Notes • Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the material to warp. • If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams. 3 Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in a paper jam or skew.
Output tray information 1 1 output tray 3250-043 The output tray collects paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. Notes • If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and especially keep children away from the surface. • The output tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain paper. Remove the pages so that the tray is not overloaded. 5.
6 Basic printing This chapter explains common printing tasks. This chapter includes: • Printing a document • Canceling a print job Printing a document This printer allows you to print from various Windows, Macintosh, or Linux applications. The exact steps for printing a document may vary depending on the application you use. For details about printing, see the Software Section.

8 Maintenance Cleaning the inside of the printer This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the print cartridge. 1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer to cool down. 2 Open the front cover and pull the print cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat surface.
4 Gently swab the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge and check for dirt or dust. Maintaining the print cartridge Print cartridge storage To get the most from the print cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the print cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store print cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
Replacing the print cartridge Caution • Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fuser area may be hot. • To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. • Do not touch the green surface underside of the print cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 3 When the toner is completely empty or the print cartridge reached the end of its life span: • The printer stops printing.
4 Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely. Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Doing so will help ensure maximum copies per cartridge. 3250-034 5 Remove the paper protecting the print cartridge by pulling the packing tape. 3250-004 7 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
9 Troubleshooting 2 Remove the jammed paper by gently pulling it straight out. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray 1. This chapter provides helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error while using your printer.

Troubleshooting checklist Solving general printing problems If the printer is not working properly, consult the following checklist. If the printer does not pass a step, follow the corresponding suggested solutions. For problems with the operation of your printer, refer to the table for suggested solutions. Condition Condition Suggested solutions Make sure that the Online LED on the control panel lights green. • If the Online LED is off, check the power cord connection. Check the power switch.
Condition The printer does not print. (Continued) Possible cause Suggested solutions Condition The printer may be configured incorrectly. Check the printer properties to ensure that all of the print settings are correct. Half the page is blank. The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Possible cause Suggested solutions The page layout is too complex. Simplify the page layout and remove any unnecessary graphics from the document. Reinstall the printer driver; See the Software Section.
Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Pages print, but are blank. The print cartridge is defective or out of toner. Redistribute the print cartridge. See page 8.2. If necessary, replace the print cartridge. See page 8.3. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. Contact a service representative. The illustrations print incorrectly in Adobe Illustrator.
Condition Vertical lines Suggested solutions Condition If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The drum inside the print cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new print cartridge. See page 8.3. If white vertical streaks appear on the page: • The surface of the LSU part inside the printer may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 8.2.
Condition Wrinkles or creases Back of printouts are dirty Solid black pages Suggested solutions Condition Suggested solutions • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. • Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.2. • Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. Horizontal stripes • The transfer roller may be dirty. See page 8.1. • Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the printer.
Common PostScript problems Common Linux problems The following situations are PostScript language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used. Condition Suggested solutions The printer doesn’t print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list.
Common Macintosh problems Condition Suggested solutions The printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing. Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products: Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options. Note: It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.
10 Installing additional memory 2 Open the expansion memory cover. Your machine is a full-featured model that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs.
