INTERFACES Your printer is equipped with a selection of data interfaces: 1. Parallel – For direct connection to a PC. This port requires a bi-directional (IEEE 1284 compliant) parallel cable. 2. USB – For connection to a PC running Windows 2000 or later or Mac OS X or later. This port requires a cable conforming to USB version 2.0 or above. The operation of a printer is not assured if a USB compatible device is connected concurrently with other USB-compatible machines.
PRINTER DRIVERS This chapter describes how to install a printer driver on two types of operating system – Windows and Macintosh. The printer drivers are all contained on the printer driver CD-ROM (CD1). Please refer to the readme file on this CD for the latest information on printer driver installation. WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS 1. With Windows running, insert the printer driver CD-ROM (CD1) into your CD-ROM drive. 2. If the CD does not run automatically, use Start > Run...
OPERATION This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer from either a Windows or a Macintosh environment. In the former, while PCL emulation is available on all printer models, PS emulation is optional on the B430d, B430dn and B440dn models. PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS NOTE The illustrations in this guide relate to Windows XP PCL and PS emulations – other operating system windows may appear slightly different but the principles are the same.
Setup tab 1. Paper size should be the same as the page size of your document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit another size), and should also be the same as the size of paper you will feed into the printer. 2. You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Manual Feed Tray (B410d, B410dn), Tray 2 (if you have the optional second paper tray installed) or the Multi Purpose Tray (B430d, B430dn, B440dn).
Job options tab My Printer Printing Preferences 4 5 1 6 2 3 7 1. The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. > The ProQ1200 setting for B410d and B410dn prints at 2400 x 600dpi. This setting requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. Your printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery. It is the best option for printing photographs.
7. A single on-screen button restores the default settings. Image tab 1 2 3 4 5 1. Dithering produces an intermediate greyscale by adjusting the combination of dots used in printing. Selecting a setting determines the degree of detail with which a graphics image will be printed. Mesh determines that a screen of dots is used for dithering while Line Art determines that an array of lines is used for dithering. 2. Select dithering texture by setting the size of dots used in the halftone screen. 3.
PS EMULATION The tabs available are the Layout Tab, the Paper/Quality Tab and the Job Options Tab. Layout tab My Printer Printing Preferences 1 2 3 4 5 1. Page orientation can be set to portrait (tall), landscape (wide) or landscape rotated by 180 degrees. 2. Print on both sides (duplex printing) can be set to long edge or short edge of the document. 3. Printed page order can be set as front to back or back to front of the document. 4. Set the number of pages to be printed on a single sheet.
Paper/Quality tab You can set the paper source or leave it as automatic selection and by using the Advanced button you have access to the same set of options as described above for the Layout Tab. Job options tab 3 4 1 5 2 6 1. The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. > The ProQ1200 for B410d and B410dn setting prints at 2400 x 600dpi. This setting requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. It is the best option for printing photographs.
2. You can print watermark text behind the main page image. This is useful for marking documents as draft, confidential, etc. If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you can create your own using Overlays (for B430d, B430dn and B440dn). For more information on Overlays and Macros, refer to “Overlays and Macros (Windows only)” on page 53.
Advanced tab My Printer Properties 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 9 1. You can specify which times of day your printer will be available. 2. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority documents will print first. 3. Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file) before being printed. The document is then printed in the background, allowing your application program to become available more quickly.
compatibility problems occur you can disable the feature. However, these advanced options may then not be available, even though the hardware might support them. 9. This button provides access to the same setup windows as when printing from applications. Changes made via the Windows Control Panel become the Windows default settings. 10. You can design and specify a separator page that prints between documents.
Device settings tab 1 2 3 1. You can set the desired paper sizes in each of the available paper feed trays. 2. You can make a variety of font settings depending on your application. 3.

PRINTER SETTINGS IN MACINTOSH Refer to the readme file on the drivers CD, CD1, and the online help provided in the driver software.
2-SIDED PRINTING The duplex unit adds the function of two-sided printing, using less paper and making large documents easier to handle. It also enables booklet printing, which uses even less paper. The duplex unit slides straight into the rear of the printer and requires no tools to install. This printer has the option of Auto Duplex and Manual Duplex printing. NOTE The steps in the process relate to Windows XP PCL.
MANUAL DUPLEX PRINTING USING THE PAPER TRAY (WINDOWS ONLY) NOTE Manual Duplex printing is available only for Windows PCL Driver. To carry out 2-sided, or Manual Duplex Printing you must pass paper through the printer twice. You can carry out 2-sided printing using the Paper Tray or the Manual Feed Tray (B410d, B410dn) or the Multi Purpose Tray (B430d, B430dn and B440dn). You can use A4, A5, A6, B5, Letter, Legal 13 and 14, Statement, Executive and Custom paper sizes, using paper stocks from 60 - 124g/m2.
5. Every second page (1) of your document is printed first. When this is complete, a message appears on screen prompting you to take the paper, flip it and replace it in the Paper Tray. 3 1 2 6. Open the Paper Tray (2). 7. Take the printed paper from the Output Stacker (3) and place it in the Paper Tray, ensuring that the printed side is facing up and the bottom of the page facing into the printer (4). 4 8. Close the Paper Tray and press the Online button.
MANUAL DUPLEX PRINTING USING THE MANUAL FEED TRAY (B410D, B410DN) NOTE > When using the Manual Feed Tray, feed pages one sheet at a time. > Use the Multi Purpose Tray for Manual Duplex Printing for B430d, B430dn and B440dn, but the principles are the same, See “Multi purpose tray and manual feed tray” on page 33. 1. Position the paper guides on the Manual Feed Tray according to the paper size. 2. Place paper one sheet at a time in the Manual Feed Tray. The paper is automatically gripped in position. 3.
OVERLAYS AND MACROS (WINDOWS ONLY) WHAT ARE OVERLAYS AND MACROS? If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you can create your own using these advanced features. You can use PostScript overlays to generate all your special stationery and store it in the printer for use whenever you need it. If you have chosen to install the PCL driver, macros perform a similar function.
CREATE AND DOWNLOAD THE PROJECT 1. From the Windows Start menu, start Storage Device Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer. 2. Choose Projects→New Project. 3. Choose Projects→Add File to Project. 4. Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn). 5. Navigate to the folder where the.PRN files are stored and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set. You can have more than one printer (.PRN) file in a project.
4. 5. In the Define Overlays window, enter a suitable name (2) for this overlay and choose which page(s) (3) of your documents will use this overlay. 2 3 Enter the name of the overlay file (4) exactly as it appeared in the Storage Device Manager project window. Remember 4 5 that this name is case sensitive.
CREATING PCL OVERLAYS Three steps are required to create an overlay: 1. Create the form data using your own application software and print it to a printer (.PRN) file. 2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import the .PRN file, and download the generated filter (.BIN) files to the printer. 3. Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use with any future document.
If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click the file entry and edit the details. Note that the names are case sensitive. 8. Choose Projects→Save Project and enter a meaningful name (e.g. “Letter Stationery”) so that you can recognise it. 9. Choose Projects→Send Project Files to Printer to download the project to the printer. 10. When the message “Command Issued” appears confirming that the download is complete, click OK to clear the message. TEST PRINTING THE MACRO 1.
The new overlays will now appear in the Defined Overlays list in the printer properties window. 6. When done, click OK to close the printing preferences window. Your new overlays are now ready and available to be used for any future documents you wish. PRINTING WITH PCL OVERLAYS Once you have defined your overlays you are ready to use them for any documents you wish. The example illustrated here uses two overlays for business letters.
CONSUMABLES AND MAINTENANCE This section deals with the replacement of the toner cartridge and image drum and general maintenance. CONSUMABLE ORDER DETAILS ITEM LIFE ORDER NO.
If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use hot water, and never use solvents of any kind. They will make stains permanent. WARNING! If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a little water or bathe your eyes liberally in cold water. Seek medical attention immediately. 1. Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about 10 minutes before opening the top cover.
7. Gently shake the cartridge (3) from end to end several times to loosen and distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. 3 4 8. Remove the wrapping material and peel off the adhesive tape from the underside of the cartridge (4). 9. Holding the cartridge by its top centre with the coloured lever to the right (5), lower it into the printer over the image drum unit from which the old cartridge was removed. 10.
11. Pressing gently down on the cartridge to ensure that it is firmly seated, push the coloured lever towards the rear of the printer (8). This will lock the cartridge into place and release toner into the image drum unit. 8 12. Gently wipe the LED array surface (9) with a soft tissue. 9 13. Close the top cover and press it down to latch it closed.
IMAGE DRUM LIFE The life of an image drum depends on a number of factors, including temperature and humidity, the type of paper used, and the number of pages per job. The image drum should last approximately 25,000 pages continuous printing. This number is approximate because different numbers of pages are printed each time and the environmental conditions and the paper type used may vary.
3. Put the assembly down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent toner from marking your furniture and to avoid damaging the green drum surface. CAUTION! The green image drum surface at the base of the ID unit is very delicate and light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose it to normal room light for more than 5 minutes. If the drum unit needs to be out of the printer for longer than this, please wrap the cartridge inside a black plastic bag to keep it away from light.
GENERATING A CLEANING PAGE If the printed page shows signs of fading, streaking or erratic marks, the problem may be cleared by generating a drum cleaning page as follows. B410D, B410DN Using the Printer Menu Setup Tool 1. Start the Printer Menu Setup Tool for the printer. 2. Click Maintenance Menu. 3. Select Cleaning and click Execute. 4. Open the Manual Feed Tray and insert a sheet of A4 plain paper between the paper guides, then click OK. 5.
CLEANING THE LED ARRAY Clean the LED array whenever a new toner cartridge is installed or if there are faded vertical areas or light printing down a page. Wipe the LED array gently with a soft tissue.
TROUBLESHOOTING STATUS AND ERROR MESSAGES Your printer has been designed to give you helpful status feedback not only during normal operation but also if a printing problem occurs so that you can take appropriate corrective action. The LCD on the printer operator panel provides the self-explanatory status and error messages in your chosen language. Error messages are accompanied by the Ready indicator being extinguished.
INPUT JAM NOTE The B430dn model has been illustrated below. The principles are the same for all models of this printer. 1. Remove the paper tray from the printer (1). 2. Remove any crumpled or folded paper. 3. Remove any paper from the underside of the printer (2). 2 1 4. Replace the paper tray. After successful removal of any damaged or misfed paper, the printer should continue printing. FEED JAM OR EXIT JAM 1. Remove the tray and clear any misfed sheets as given above. 2.
3. Carefully lift out the image drum, complete with the toner cartridge. Be careful not to touch or scratch the green drum surface. 4. Remove any jammed sheets from the paper path. 5. Re-install the image drum complete with toner cartridge, ensuring that the pegs (1 & 2) correctly locate into the slots on each side of the printer (3). 2 1 3 6. Lower the top cover but do not press down to latch it closed yet.
> Pull out any paper found in this area. > If the paper is low down in this area and difficult to remove, it is probably still gripped by the fuser. In this case, raise the top cover, reach around and press down on the fuser pressure release lever. > If you are not using the rear cover, close it once the paper is removed from this area. 8. Remove the Duplex unit (1) and check for any paper in this area. Remove any paper and replace the duplex unit.
> Remove any paper that you find (2), and then close the tray. 1 2 10. Close the top cover and press down to latch it closed. 11. The printer will warm up and commence printing when ready. The page lost through the jam will normally be reprinted. NOTE If the edge of the jammed paper protrudes (or can be seen) from the exit, reinstall the image drum, close the top cover and switch the printer on.
SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION Vertical white streaking or faint areas on page. Toner is low and does not distribute properly, or the drum is worn out. Replace toner cartridge. Check drum and replace the drum, if necessary. Contact service. LED array is dirty. Clean LED array. Vertical black lines. Hardware problem. Contact service. Fuzzy print. LED array is dirty. Clean LED array. Distorted print. Paper path, lamp assembly, or fusing unit problem. Generate cleaning page.
PAPER FEED PROBLEMS SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION Paper Jams occur frequently. Multiple sheets of paper are fed at the same time. The printer is tilted. Place the paper on a stable and flat surface. Paper is too thick or too thin. Paper is moist, folded, creased or warped. Use paper suitable for the printer. Avoid storing paper in areas of excessive temperature and humidity. Store paper in protective wrapping Paper is not aligned. Align the paper edges to the paper guides.
SOFTWARE PROBLEMS Your software (operating environment, applications and printer drivers) controls the printing process. Make sure you have selected the right driver for use with your printer. See your software documentation for more information. SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION Printing is garbled. Incorrect driver is installed. Install an appropriate driver. Printer’s output is below rated speed. Much of the printing delays will be caused by your application.
