We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed. 1 Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water. 2 Open the document cover. 3 Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass until it is clean and dry. White sheet Document cover ADF glass Document glass 4 Wipe the underside of the white document cover and white sheet until it is clean and dry.
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine. • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.
Redistributing Toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner. 1 Open the front door.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge When the display on the control panel shows the warning message, “Toner Empty” or “[Toner Empty] Replace Toner,” the machine stops printing. The incoming faxes are saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to be replaced. NOTE: You can set the machine to ignore the “Toner Empty” message and to continue printing. 1 Open the front door. 2 Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out. 8.
3 Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it horizontally 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping. NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 4 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle.
5 Close the front door. Setting the Notify Toner Option If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On,” your machine automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer to notify them that your machine requires a new toner cartridge when the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. The fax number is preset by your dealer when you bought your machine. 1 Press Menu on the control panel until “Maintenance” appears on the top line of the display.

Guidelines for Using Paper For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.

extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper. Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier. The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %.
Envelopes with Double Side Seams Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below. Correct Incorrect Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine.
Labels CAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers. • To prevent serious jams, always use the manual feeder to print labels and always use the rear output tray. • Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels. When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: • Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.
