PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type. The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are: > Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²; > Colour Copy by Mondi Business paper.
If fitted, tray 2/3 may be removed and replenished while the machine is being fed from tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while the machine is being fed from tray 2/3, because parts of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2. This also applies to tray 2 when paper is being fed from tray 3. MULTI PURPOSE TRAY The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up to 220g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker.
LOADING PAPER CASSETTE TRAYS 1. Remove the paper tray from the printer. 2. Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the middle (2) to ensure that all sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3). 1 2 3 3. Load paper long edge feed (LEF) (letter headed paper - face down and top edge towards the right of the printer) (1) up to mark (a). 1 a 3 2 4.
CAUTION! > IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (3) to the size and orientation of paper being used (A4 LEF in the above example). > C810 only: GDI printers use the printer settings defined by the host (PC). If the paper is oriented long-edge, the Long Edge Feed (LEF) checkbox must be enabled in the printer driver. If the paper is oriented short-edge, the Long Edge Feed checkbox must be disabled in the printer driver.
To prevent paper jams: > Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper. > Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the type of paper stock. > Do not load damaged paper. > Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same time. > Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described above for the 2nd tray). Close the paper tray gently. MULTI PURPOSE TRAY 1. Open the multi purpose tray (1). 2. Fold out the paper supports (2). 1 4 3 2 4 3.
5. Press the tray latch button (5) inwards to release the paper platform, so that the paper is lifted and gripped in place. 5 Set the correct paper size for the multi purpose tray in the Media Menu (see “Menu Functions”).
OPERATION USING THE MACHINE > C830 - For full details of how to use the machine and any optional accessories to print jobs efficiently and effectively, please refer to the Printing Guide and the Barcode Guide. > C830 - For full details of how to access and use the printer security features, please refer to the Security Guide. > C810 and C830 - For full details of how to connect and use the network feature, please refer to the Network Guide.
SECURITY (C830 ONLY) SECURE PRINTING Secure printing allows you to print confidential documents on machines that are shared with other users in a network environment. The document does not print until a PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered through the Printer Control Panel. You must go to the machine and enter the PIN. This feature requires the hard disk drive option to be fitted to your machine and enabled in the printer driver.
9. Your PIN must be unique on this machine. Each user should be allocated a PIN by the system administrator. 10. Click [OK] to accept your changes. 11. Click [OK] to close the Printer Properties window. 12. Print your document. 13. The print job will be sent to the machine, but will not print at this time. PRINTING THE DOCUMENT Your secure print job is printed using the Printer Control Panel on the front of the machine.
STORE TO HARD DISK This feature allows print jobs to be created on the PC and stored on the machine’s hard disk for printing on demand. This is good for forms, generic memos, letterhead, stationery, etc. If you use this feature for standard forms, for example, you can walk up to the machine at any time and print off your forms without having to re-send them from the PC.
DELETING A STORED DOCUMENT Follow the procedure as described in “Deleting a secure print document” on page 18 for deleting a secure print document. Like secure print documents, any other documents stored on the machine’s hard disk can also be deleted remotely from the PC using the Storage Device Manager utility. ENCRYPTED SECURE PRINTING Security over the network is an increasing concern for some organisations.
SENDING THE DOCUMENT 1. If using the PCL driver, in the [Setup] tab choose any saved driver settings you wish to use. 2. In the driver’s [Job Options] tab, click [Encrypted Secure Print]. 3. The Encrypted Secure Print window opens. 4. In the Encrypted Secure Print window, enter a [Password] for this print job: The password must be between 4 and 12 alpha-numeric characters. Numbers 1 to 9 and letters a to z are all valid.

OVERLAYS AND MACROS (C830 - 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 Printers→New Project. 3. Choose Printers→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 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. Volume details are as follows: 0 = printer’s disk drive PCL partition; 1 = printer’s disk drive Common partition; %disk0% = printer’s disk drive PostScript partition; 2 = flash memory PCL %Flash0% = flash memory PostScript Note that the names are case sensitive, and will be needed later exactly as they appear in this list. 8. Choose Projects→Save Project and enter a meaningful name (e.g.
Remember that names and IDs of overlay files must be entered exactly as they appeared in the Storage Device Manager project window. Remember also that names are case sensitive. If you forgot to note the overlay name or ID when you created them, you can find them using Storage Device Manager to view the project file, or the printer’s Information Menu to print a file list and identify them from there. The new overlays will now appear in the Defined Overlays list in the printer properties window. 6.
REPLACING CONSUMABLE ITEMS This section explains how to replace consumable items when due. NOTE: When the LCD display indicates TONER LOW, or if print appears faded, first open the top cover and try tapping the cartridge a few times to evenly distribute the toner powder. This will enable you to obtain the best "yield" from your toner cartridge.
TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT CAUTION! To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed. For the protection of your product, and in order to ensure that you benefit from its full functionality, this model has been designed to operate only with genuine original toner cartridges.
