Paper Loading Directions:

There are two paper loading directions: LEF and SEF.

• LEF (Short side: Length, Long side: Width): Paper is fed along its short edge.

• SEF (Long side: Length, Short side: Width): Paper is fed along its long edge.

Note: “Long” paper is paper of which length is 488 mm or more. For the High Capacity Feeder and Paper Tray 5 (Bypass), the feeding direction is opposite.

LAN connection:

When connecting to the network port, keep the machine power switched off.

Note: When a connection failure occurs, it may be improved by setting [Disabled] in > [Settings] > [Network Settings] > [Protocol Settings] > [Ethernet Settings] > [Energy Efficient Ethernet] in the System Administrator mode.

USB connection:

When connecting to a USB connector, keep the machine power switched off.

Image Loss Width (mm)

There is an unprintable area (image loss area) along all four edges of the paper. The image loss widths are 4.0 mm at the lead edge, 4.0 mm at the trail edge, 3.0 mm at the top edge, and 3.0 mm at the bottom edge.

Guaranteed Print Area (mm)

Standard Printable Area (mm)

Extended Printable Area (mm)

Changing the printable area settings enables you to print over a margin (4.1 mm) for the standard printable area.

1. Login to the System Administrator Mode.

2. Tap the tools icon > [Settings] > [App Settings] > [Print Settings] > [Other Settings] > [Print Area] > [Extended].

You can also change the settings from [Tray / Output] > [Edge Erase / Print Position] > [Margins] of the ART EX printer driver.

Note:

• When the paper size is A3 or smaller, extended printable area = guaranteed print area.

• When the paper size is larger than A3, the image quality for the portion of the extended printable area that exceeds the guaranteed print area is not guaranteed.

Standard paper

Recycled paper

Avoid using the following paper to prevent machine malfunction:

• Paper using ink that deteriorates with fusing heat

• Damp paper, damp and wavy paper

• Ink jet printer paper

• Paper with 12 mm or greater curl

• Business card size paper

• Thermal paper, heat-transfer paper

• Wrinkled or folded paper

• Envelopes with windows

Storing paper

Follow the guidelines below since paper is susceptible to moisture in the air and easily deformed by impacts.

• Store paper in a place of low humidity. Paper that has absorbed moisture can create paper jams or poor image quality.

• Using paper stored in a low-temperature environment may cause fusing failures. Storing paper in an environment where the temperature is 16°C or higher is recommended.

• Coated paper stored in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment may cause misfeeding or double-feeding.

• After opening a package of paper, seal and store the remaining paper in a moisture-proof wrapper or a reclosable plastic bag.

• To prevent bending or warping, store paper flat. Do not store it upright.

• Do not store paper under direct sunlight.

Handling paper

• Do not use collected pieces of paper.

• Do not use wrinkled or folded paper.

• Do not load paper of different sizes or types in the same tray.

• Before loading paper into the tray, fan a stack of paper well to prevent paper jams and double-feeding (multiple sheets of paper are being fed simultaneously) of transparency films, films and coated paper.

The paper feeding method is the same for Paper Trays 1 (top tray) through 2 (second tray). The bottom face of loaded paper is the surface printed on. After loading paper, configure the Paper Tray settings on the Home screen.

A4 paper

Papers other than A4

Important: When paper exceeding the tray capacity is loaded, the Extension Tray may get broken.

Note: The tray capacity varies depending on paper size, paper weight, paper types, single/double-sided prints, and image density.

Extension Tray:

Insert 2 extension trays until they stop. Pass them through over the guide at the rear side of the tray until they stop.

Thin paper loading wire:

When it is difficult to load thin paper, install the wire.

• The tray capacity is 10 sheets.

• Paper of which width is 256 mm or less cannot be used.

• The supported paper weights are from 82 to 127 g/m².

1. Install the wires on the extension tray. As holding the extension tray with a hand, insert the fixing devices firmly, and check that the wires will not come off from the extension tray.

2. Adjust the wire positions as aligning the wires with the “▲” marks.

When not using the kit:

Hang the kit on the holder at the side.

Offset

This function is available only for the Offset Catch Tray. The paper is output with offset stacking for easy separation. Use the printer driver to set the offset of outputs.

Catch Tray Fan

The catch tray fan is equipped with a knob to adjust the airflow volume. Adjusting the airflow volume according to the paper volume to be output to the tray can prevent sheets from sticking to each other. Leave the scale to “0” when papers do not stick.

Airflow Setting

Note: In a high-temperature environment or when a large volume of papers is output, increase the airflow volume by turning the knob to the right by 1 to 2 scales. If papers still stick, keep the number of papers on the Top Output Tray less than 50 sheets.

Consumable types:

• Toner Cartridge [K] (Black)

• Toner Cartridge [C] (Cyan)

• Toner Cartridge [M] (Magenta)

• Toner Cartridge [Y] (Yellow)

• Drum Cartridge (YMCK)

• Waste Toner Container

Handling consumables:

• Do not store boxes of consumables upright.

• Do not unpack consumables before use. Avoid storing them in high temperature/humid locations, near heat-generating devices, in direct sunlight, or in dusty areas.

• When using consumables, carefully read precautions for use instructed on their bodies or packages.

• We recommend keeping spare consumables in stock.

Replacing consumables:

To display the consumables progress, tap the tools icon > [Device Status] > [Supplies]. When the end of life for a consumable is reached, a message appears on the Touch Panel Display. Replace the consumable indicated in the message by following the steps provided on the box of the consumable.

Note:

• When replacing Toner Cartridges, keep the machine power switched on.

• When replacing a toner cartridge or Waste Toner Container, toner may spill. We recommend laying a piece of paper or a sheet on the floor beforehand.

• Do not take out or shake the Waste Toner Container before it is filled up, as this can affect accurate detection.

• A trouble with image quality results if the Drum Cartridge is placed under direct sunlight or intense fluorescent light, or if the drum surface is touched and scratched.

When wiping the main unit, use a soft, moistened and tightly-squeezed cloth. Do not use chemicals such as benzine or thinner, as they may damage the paint or coating.

Exterior Cleaning:

1. Wipe the exterior with a soft, moistened, and tightly-squeezed cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a thin neutral detergent solution.

2. Wipe the moisture off with a dry soft cloth.

Touch Panel Display Cleaning:

Wipe lightly with a dry soft cloth. When using a wet cloth, wipe it lightly with a soft, moistened and tightly-squeezed cloth. Wiping the panel strongly may damage it.

When you have replaced the Waste Toner Container or Drum Cartridge, clean the LED printheads to prevent density and color irregularities.
