l

Never try to modify the printer. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

l

Never place any heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it or bend it.

Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

l

Always make sure the printer is not placed on the electrical cord or the communications cables of any other electrical equipment. Also make sure that cords and cables do not get into the printer’s mechanism.

Any of these conditions create the danger of malfunction and fire.

l

Always take care so that paper clips, staples, or other small pieces of metal do not get into the printer through its vents or other openings.

Such objects create the danger of fire or electrical shock.

2-4 PagePro 4100W

Setting-up 2 l

Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or near the printer. Fire or electrical shock can occur should water or liquid come into contact with the printer.

l

Should liquid or any piece of metal accidently get inside the printer, immediately turn it off, unplug the power cord, and contact your dealer.

Failure to take this immediate action creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

l

Registering the Status Display

The Status Display provides you with a variety of useful information about the current status of your printer.

It is installed automatically when you install the printer driver.

Optional registration in the StartUp directory of Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 allows the Status Display to automatically reside on your desktop.

Follow the instructions provided for registering the Status Display according to your operating environment. For further details, please refer to the documentation that came with your version of Windows.

NOTE

Í The Status Display allows you to monitor the operating status of the printer only when the printer is locally (directly) connected to the host computer via a parallel interface cable.

Replacing the Imaging Cartridge

The imaging cartridge contains the print drum and a supply of toner. If you print typical business A4 size pages with 5% coverage of toner, the imaging cartridge lasts for approximately 9,000 pages. However, the life of the imaging cartridge varies with the actual density of toner that is used.

l

When the imaging cartridge begins to run short of toner, “Imaging

Cartridge Low” message is displayed in the Status Display.

Remove the imaging cartridge, shake it several times, and reload it into the printer (this will evenly distribute the toner remaining in the cartridge). Prepare a new imaging cartridge as a replacement.

Imaging Cartridge Low l

When the imaging cartridge runs out of toner, “Imaging Cartridge

Empty” message is displayed in the

Status Display. It is recommended that you change the imaging cartridge as soon as possible.

Imaging Cartridge Empty

NOTE

Í

Í

The Imaging Cartrige Low message appears in the Warning Status window of the Status Display as a reminder that the imaging cartridge will run out of toner soon. Since print quality will decline after the

Imaging Cartridge Low message appears, replacement with a new imaging cartridge is recommended when the Imaging Cartridge Low message is displayed.

The imaging cartridge that comes with the printer is capable of producing approximately 5,000 A4-size prints.
