4 Insert the paper stack into the paper tray. 1 If you want to load a different sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides. For details, see page 1.14. 5 Pay attention to the paper limit mark on the left inside wall of the tray. Paper overloading may cause paper jams. 6 Slide the paper tray back in. After you load paper, you need to set up your machine for the paper type and size you loaded. See page 1.18 for copying and faxing or page 5.7 for PC-printing. GETTING STARTED 1.
Changing the Paper Size in the Paper Tray To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray. 1 Locate the paper size to which the rear paper length guide fits. The paper sizes are marked at the bottom of the tray. 2 Pressing and unlatching the guide lock, slide the guide out until it locks to the mark of the paper size you want.
NOTES: • Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the materials to warp. • If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams. Making Connections 1 If you have SCX-4016/4116: Skip this step and proceed to Step 2. If you have SCX-4216F: Plug the supplied telephone line cord into the LINE jack and the other end into the wall jack. GETTING STARTED 1.
2 If you want to use a parallel printer cable, purchase only IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable and connect it to the parallel connector on your machine. Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the cable plug. ➜ To the parallel port on your computer Connecting the printer to the USB port of the computer requires a certified USB cable. You will need to buy a USB 1.1 compliant cable that is within 3 m in length. Connect it to the USB connector on your machine.
Turning the Machine On 1 Plug one end of the supplied three-pronged electrical type cord into the AC socket on the machine and the other end into a properly grounded AC outlet. 2 Press the power switch to turn the machine on. “Warming Up Please Wait” appears on the display indicating that the machine is now on.

3 PAPER HANDLING This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print materials and loading them into your machine.
Selecting Print Materials Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. Using print materials that are not recommended may cause paper jams or print quality problems. Size, Input Sources and Capacities Input Source/Capacity1 Size (mm/in.) Paper Tray Bypass Tray YES/250 YES/250 YES/250 YES/250 YES/250 YES/250 YES/250 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 YES/1 Labels2 Letter (215.9 x 279/8.
Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind: • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and the poor print quality. • Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use.
• Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200 oC (392o F) for 0.1 second. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components. • Do not load a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.
Printing to the Front Output Tray (Face down) The front output tray collects printed paper face-down, in correct order. The tray should be used for most print jobs. 3 Printing to the Rear Output Slot (Face up) Using the rear output slot, paper comes out of the machine face-up. Printing from the Bypass tray to the rear output slot provides the straight paper path.
To use the rear output slot: 1 Open the rear cover by pulling it upward. CAUTION: The fusing area at the rear part of the inside of your machine is hot when powered. Be careful not to be burned when you access this area. 2 If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output slot, close the rear cover. The pages will stack on the front output tray. Loading Paper in the Paper Tray The paper tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.
The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is lowered. 3 Paper full ¦ Paper empty To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down. You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front side of the tray.
NOTES: • If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the Bypass tray. • You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the top side. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.
For transparencies, hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems. For envelopes, load a sheet with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top left side. 3 2 Adjust the paper guide to the width of the print material. The machine picks up the material from the tray and begins printing.
3 Open the rear cover to use the rear output slot. 4 After printing, close the rear cover. Setting the Paper Type and Size for the Bypass Tray After loading paper in the Bypass tray, you need to set the correct paper type and size using the control panel buttons. These settings will apply to copy mode. For PC-printing, you need to select the paper size in the application program you use. To set the paper size for the Bypass tray: 1 Press Menu.
4 COPYING This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for copying documents.
Loading Paper for Copying You can copy a document to A4-, Letter- or Legal-sized paper. The instructions for loading print materials are the same whether you are printing, faxing or copying. For further details, see page 1.12 for loading in the paper tray and page 3.8 for loading in the Bypass tray. Making Copies on the Document Glass 1 Lift and open the document cover. 2 Place the document face down on the document glass and align it with the registration guide on the top left corner of the glass. 4.
NOTE: For SCX-4116/4216F, make sure that no other documents are in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). If a document is detected in the ADF, it has priority over the document on the document glass. 3 Close the document cover. NOTES: • Leaving the cover open while copying may affect the copy quality and toner consumption. • If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the cover until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the cover.
Making Copies from the Automatic Document Feeder (For SCX-4116/4216F) Using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder), you can load up to 30 documents (75 g/m2, 20lb) in one job. When you use the ADF: • Do not load documents smaller than 142 x 148 mm or larger than 216 x 356 mm.
2 Make sure that the bottom of the document stack matches the paper size marked on the document tray. 3 Customize the copy settings including number of copies, copy size, contrast and image type by using the control panel buttons.
