Operating Environment
When selecting a location for the printer, check the following guidelines:
• Make sure the location is flat and sturdy.
• When power is on (printer plugged into an AC outlet):
Temperature: 10˚C-32.5˚C (50˚F-90.5˚F)
Relative humidity: 20-80% RH with no condensation
• Make sure the surrounding area is well ventilated.
• The printer must not be in a direct draft.
Avoid placing the printer in the following locations:
• Under direct sunlight, near heaters, air conditioners, or open flames.
Strong light entering the printer unit causes the internal cartridge drum surface to deteriorate and degrades the printing.
• Near magnets or equipment that generates magnetic fields.
• Near areas subject to vibration.
• In dusty places or places where the air contains high concentrations of salt or corrosive gases.
• Near water pipes and refrigerators.
If humidity is less than 30%, use a humidifier or an anti-static mat to prevent buildup of electrostatic charges.
If the room temperature rises abruptly, or the printer is moved from a cool and dry place to a warm and humid place, condensation may form inside the printer and cause problems with paper delivery or a deterioration in print quality and, in some cases, result in printer error. To prevent this, allow the printer to sit for an hour or more to adjust to the new temperature.
xi
Observe the following requirements when the power is off (printer unplugged from the AC outlet):
• Temperature: 0˚C-35˚C (32˚F-95˚F).
• Relative Humidity: 10-80% RH with no condensation.
Carrying the Printer
CAUTION:
Do not carry the printer by holding the front panel, the face-up delivery slot, or by holding it at the front and rear. This could result in damage to the printer or personal injury if the printer is dropped.

Plain Paper
Follow these guidelines when selecting paper:
❏ Paper that is too thick or too thin, or that has irregular shapes, cutouts, or perforations should not be used.
❏ Never use paper that is wet, highly textured, rough, torn, wrinkled, or damaged.
❏ Extremely smooth paper or paper with special coatings does not print well.
❏ The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at about 190˚ C (374˚ F).
❏ Do not use thermal or carbon paper, or paper with glue, staples, clips, or ribbons.
For colored paper, use colors that are not damaged by the heat of the printer’s fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F).
Transparencies
The acceptable sizes are Letter or A4. The transparencies must be able to withstand the heat generated by the fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or
374˚ F) without damage.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 9
Labels
Labels are paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acceptable sizes are
Letter and A4.
Note the following conditions when choosing a label sheet:
❏ The label print face (top, or face sheet) must be made of ordinary, matte-finish paper similar to copy paper.
❏ The paper backing must be able to withstand the heat generated by the fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F). The backing must not be made of easily removable coated paper.
❏ Do not use labels with exposed adhesive, which may stick to the EP-
22 cartridge or the fixing roller, causing the labels to peel off and serious paper jams to occur.
Envelopes
Follow these guidelines when printing on envelopes:
❏ Envelopes must not have any fasteners, snaps, or windows, or be made of artificial materials.
❏ Do not use envelopes that discolor or melt at about 190˚ C (374˚ F), envelopes which might emit dangerous fumes when heated, or envelopes that seal with pressure-sensitive adhesives.
❏ Do not use envelopes which are damaged, curled or wrinkled, or that have an irregular shape.
❏ Do not use oversized envelopes, or envelopes with folds.
10 Paper Handling Chapter 2
❏ Poorly manufactured envelopes are not recommended.
Postcards
Follow these guidelines when printing on postcards:
❏ Postcards should not be greater than 0.28 mm in thickness.
❏ Postcards should be free of glue, clips, and staples.
❏ Do not use postcards that are damaged or curled, or that have special coatings or an irregular shape.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 11
Storing Paper
Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper:
❏ Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity.
❏ Do not store paper directly on the floor as the floor is usually humid.
❏ If you must store paper in a very humid place, use a specially designed storage box.
❏ Keep paper on a flat surface to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl.
❏ Do not stack paper too high to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl.
❏ Do not subject paper to direct sunlight or a humid environment.
If paper is moved to a place with a very different temperature, leave it there for about one day before using it; otherwise it could curl or develop wrinkles.
12 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Paper Path
Understanding how paper travels inside the printer helps you better handle paper loading and jams.
A sheet of paper enters the printer from the MP tray or the manual feed slot. It travels to the image transfer area where the printer drum has been statically charged. A laser beam changes the static charge on the drum and toner clings to those parts of the drum. As the paper rolls across the drum, the toner transfers to the paper. The toner is then fused to the paper by the fixing assembly. The paper either comes out from the face-up delivery slot or travels to the face-down delivery slot, depending on the paper delivery method selected.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 13
Selecting Paper Delivery
Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery.
When the selector is in the lower position, face-up delivery is selected.
When the selector is in the upper position, face-down delivery is selected.
Face-down
Face-up
Face-down Delivery
Use face-down delivery for plain paper only. Printouts are stacked in order in the face-down delivery slot (which can hold up to 100 sheets of
75 g/m 2 paper).
To select face-down delivery, move the paper delivery selector up.
❏ Do not replace paper in the face-down delivery slot once it is removed from the slot. This could result in damage to the flaps inside the slot.
❏ Never insert paper or other objects into the face-down delivery slot.
14 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Face-up Delivery
Use face-up delivery for envelopes and transparencies, as well as other special paper, including non-standard sized plain paper. Printouts come out from the face-up delivery slot face up. This helps prevent paper curl.
To select face-up delivery, push the paper delivery selector down.
Chapter 2
❏ Do not pull on the printout while it is still emerging from the face-up delivery slot.
❏ Do not switch the paper delivery selector until the printout has completely come out of the delivery slot. Switching the paper delivery selector while printing could cause a paper jam.
❏ Make sure there is enough room at the front of the printer for the paper to exit.
Paper Handling 15
Loading Paper into the MP Tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold up to approximately 125 sheets of
75 g/m 2 paper for high-volume printing. Acceptable paper sizes are Legal,
Letter, A4, Executive, and B5. It also accepts transparencies, envelopes, postcards, or special paper with a maximum height of 12.5 mm.
Before loading paper on the MP tray, first select the paper delivery. For envelopes, transparencies, labels, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and facedown delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper with weight between 64 and 105 g/m 2
. For more details, see “Selecting Paper
Follow the steps below to load a stack of paper.
Make sure that the input paper support is inserted into its slot in the printer.
16 Paper Handling Chapter 2
1.
Prepare a stack of paper and tap it on a flat surface to properly align the edges.
❏ Do not fan the paper, or printing problems might occur.
❏ When using transparencies, slightly fan the stack of transparencies before loading them in the MP tray to prevent feed failures.

Loading Paper Manually
The manual feed slot allows you to load paper manually, one sheet at a time. You can load transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, or other special paper. You can also load plain paper, which is useful when you want to use paper that is a different size from the paper in the MP tray.
Before loading paper manually, always select the paper delivery first. For transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and face-down delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper with weight between 64 and 105 g/m 2
. For details, see “Selecting Paper
Align the sheet of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer and the top of the paper is inserted first. Slide the sheet of paper into the manual feeding slot until it stops (see

❏ The manual feed has priority over the MP tray.
❏ Often applications will let you change the feeding direction of envelopes. Confirm the feeding direction of envelopes before printing.
❏ If a postcard is not fed smoothly into the printer, gently push the top of the postcard downwards until the roller inside the printer takes the card and feeds it into the printer.
24 Paper Handling Chapter 2
❏ Do not force the paper into the printer or printing problems might result.
❏ For continuous manual feed, insert a new sheet only when the previous sheet has come out completely from the delivery slot. If a new sheet is inserted before the previous sheet has been delivered, a paper jam may occur.

Printer Sharing
Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing with the LBP-810 printer requires that both the print server and the client devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later. The print server and client do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows NT
4.0/2000/XP print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started.
If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, you can print, even if no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is shown on the client.
Connecting the LBP-810 as a Network Printer

Printing with the CAPT
The CAPT offers bi-directional communication between the computer and printer. To take advantage of the bi-directional communication, one end of a bi-directional parallel cable connects to the printer and the other end connects directly to your computer.
You must use a bi-directional cable for proper operation.
Every time you print, the CAPT displays the Canon LBP-810 Status
Window. This window shows you the paper moving through the printer, how long it will take to print the document, and how much of the document has printed. From the Status Window you can pause, resume, or delete the current print job.
If a printing problem occurs, the Canon LBP-810 Status Window automatically opens and identifies the problem.
Before using the CAPT, make sure you select it as your current Windows printer driver. During Setup, the installation program makes the CAPT the default printer driver. If you have not changed printers since running the Setup program, you are ready to print.

Windows 95/98/Me Printer Properties
With the CAPT, you initiate printing as you normally would from a
Windows application. From the Print dialog box, usually accessed from an application’s File menu, you can select Properties to proceed to the
Canon LBP-810 Properties dialog box and its printing options.
❏ You can open the Properties dialog box from the Printers folder. The number of tabs displayed in the Properties dialog box depends on how you have your system set up. Screens examples use Windows 98.
❏ The way you get to the dialog boxes determines how long the printing options remain in effect:
• If you start from an application's Print... command, your choices apply only to that print job. They will not be stored when you close the application.
• If you start from the Printers folder, the settings apply to all

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 117
CAUTION:
The face-up delivery area (shaded part) becomes hot when the printer is in use. Be careful not to touch this area, because personal injury might result.
When removing the jammed paper, do not touch the transfer roller
(shaded part) as its surface is very delicate and susceptible to finger oil and scratches, which may lead to print deterioration.
Be careful when removing the paper; toner on the paper might get onto your hands or clothing. If this happens, wash it off immediately with cold running water.
118 Troubleshooting Chapter 4
Chapter 4
To avoid possible damage to the printer, do not touch the pins near the right end of the transfer roller.
To avoid damaging the printer, check that the pressure release levers
(black) were released when the front cover was opened. If the pressure release levers were not released, close the front cover and then open it again. This should automatically release the pressure release levers. If the levers were not released automatically, release them manually by pulling the levers at either end of the pressure bar slightly forwards with your fingers, so they release the bar.
Troubleshooting 119
Removing Paper Jams
Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer.
Paper Jam in the Paper Feed Area
If only a small portion of the paper has moved into the printer
Use both hands to carefully pull the jammed paper straight up and out from the MP tray.
Be careful not to tear the paper when pulling. If the paper is torn, remove the paper scraps from the printer.
120 Troubleshooting Chapter 4
If the paper has moved completely into the printer
Follow the steps described in “Before Removing Paper Jams Inside the
Printer” on page 116 to remove the toner cartridge, then follow the
procedure below.
1.
Remove any paper from the input area by gently pulling it forward.
2.
Roll the edge of the paper inwards so that the printed surface is on the inside of the roll, then gently pull the rolled up paper out of the printer.
Chapter 4
3.
If the leading edge of the paper is visible but has not entered the imaging area, pull the paper forwards and roll it inwards. Do not pull the paper upwards from the paper input slot, as this may damage the printer. Gently pull the paper out of the printer.
Troubleshooting 121
Do not remove jammed paper at a sharp upwards angle; the toner on the paper will stain the printer and cause a permanent reduction in print quality.
Replace the cartridge and close the front cover. The paper release levers automatically return to their original positions.
122 Troubleshooting Chapter 4
Paper Jams near the Imaging Area
Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer.
Follow the steps described in “Before Removing Paper Jams Inside the
Printer” on page 116 to remove the toner cartridge, then follow the
procedure below.
If you can see the rear edge of the paper
Roll the paper inwards from the rear edge, so that the printed surface is on the inside of the roll and the paper is pulled back out from the imaging area. Then gently pull the rolled paper out of the printer.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 123
If you cannot see the rear edge of the paper
Carefully pull the jammed paper forwards and out of the printer.
Paper Jam in the Face-down Delivery Area
Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer.
Follow the steps described in “Before Removing Paper Jams Inside the
Printer” on page 116 to remove the toner cartridge, then follow the
procedure below.
1.
Gently pull the jammed paper between the face-down delivery rollers until the leading edge emerges from the printer.
2.
Carefully pull the jammed paper through the rollers and out of the printer.
124 Troubleshooting Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Never pull the paper out of the printer by pulling it forwards if the paper is behind the face-down delivery rollers. This could result in damage to the face-down delivery rollers.
Paper Jam in the Face-up Delivery Area
Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer.
Follow the steps described in “Before Removing Paper Jams Inside the
Printer” on page 116 to remove the toner cartridge, then follow the
procedure below.
Troubleshooting 125
If you can see the front edge of the paper
While holding the printer steady, carefully pull the jammed paper out straight and horizontally.
If the jammed paper is badly folded, similar to the folds of an accordion, ease the jammed paper loose and then pull it out of the printer.
126 Troubleshooting Chapter 4
If you cannot see the front edge of the paper
If the paper becomes wrapped around the roller inside the fixing assembly, neither the leading edge or the trailing edge of the paper may be easily accessible. If this occurs, follow the procedure below to remove the paper.
If the paper does not come out of the printer easily, check that the pressure release levers (black) have been released as described on
1.
Gently bend the paper backwards and feed the paper back through the paper transport slit at the back of the fixing assembly.
Chapter 4
Be careful when handling the paper behind the fixing assembly. The toner is not fixed to the paper and can easily dislodge. If toner gets on your hands, wash it off with cold running water.
Troubleshooting 127
2.
Gently pull the paper through the rollers.
❏ After you replace the cartridge and close the front cover, the printer should be ready for printing. If the printer returns to the ready state for printing, troubleshooting has been successful. If the printer does not return to the ready state for printing, paper may still be jammed in the printer.
❏ While removing the jammed paper, some toner might stain the inside of the printer which will make the first few printouts dirty when printing resumes.
128 Troubleshooting Chapter 4
Print Quality Problems
Printout Has Vertical White Streaks
Vertical white streaks, similar to the sample below, result when toner is low or unevenly distributed.
Corrective action
1.
Open the front cover and take out the EP-22 cartridge.
2.
Rock the cartridge gently from side to side five or six times to evenly distribute the toner inside. (For more information, see “Installing the
EP-22 Cartridge” in the Getting Started Guide.)
3.
Insert the cartridge into the printer.
4.
Close the front cover and try to print again.
If the problem persists, the cartridge has probably expired. Replace it with a new one, using the steps described in “Installing the EP-22
Cartridge” in the Getting Started Guide.
Chapter 4
When purchasing a replacement cartridge, make sure you get the right one for this printer: a Canon EP-22 cartridge.
The EP-22 cartridge typically lasts for about 2,500 prints of Letter- or
A4-size paper, assuming the printer is used for standard word processing documents printed at the default density, and at 4% dot ratio (equivalent to print coverage of approximately 5%). The actual cartridge life depends on the average page coverage of your printed documents.
Troubleshooting 129
Printout Has Black Specks
If toner powder adheres to the pressure roller, black specks 1 mm in diameter or larger might appear on the front or back of the printed paper.
Corrective action
1.
Use the Options menu in the Status Window to print the cleaning page on a blank sheet of paper.
2.
If there are no black specks on the cleaning page, the pressure roller is clean.
3.
If there are black specks on the cleaning page, repeat step 1 until there are no black specks on the cleaning page. You may repeat this procedure several times with no adverse effect on the printer.
Printout Too Light
This occurs with high-volume printing in a hot environment.
Corrective action
1.
Increase the printing density.
2.
If this has no effect, replace the EP-22 cartridge.
Printout Too Dark
If there is a strong light source near the printer, the prints may be too dark.
Corrective action
1.
Check whether the density adjustment is correct. If not, adjust the density.
2.
Check whether there is a strong light source near the printer. If there is, move the printer or the light source.

❏ If you are not going to use the printer for an extended period of time, unplug it from the AC outlet.
❏ Never attempt to disassemble the printer.
Chapter 5 Maintenance 143
Cleaning the Printer
Clean the printer cabinet regularly to keep the printer in its best condition.
To clean the printer, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid using any other type of solvents, such as alcohol or benzine, which might damage the surface. When finished cleaning, wipe the cabinet with a dry cloth.
Before cleaning the printer, always unplug it from the AC outlet.
Do not spill water or detergent into the printer. Otherwise the printer will be damaged and electric shock may even occur.
Do not lubricate the printer. This printer does not require lubrication.
EP-22 Cartridge
The EP-22 cartridge contains a photosensitive part called a “drum” which has characteristics similar to photo film. It also contains black carbon powder called “toner.” The drum is extremely sensitive to light and might deteriorate if exposed to light. Also, poor print quality can result if toner becomes caked or unevenly distributed inside the cartridge.
Please adhere to the following guidelines when storing or handling the cartridge.
144 Maintenance Chapter 5
Storage Guidelines
• Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the cartridge in the printer.
• Do not store the cartridge where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If the toner becomes caked in the cartridge, it may prove impossible to free it even by shaking the cartridge, and print quality can deteriorate.
• Do not store the cartridge at a high temperature or in high humidity, or in places where the temperature or humidity can change abruptly.
• Store the cartridge at temperatures between 0˚C and
35˚C (between 32˚F and 95˚F).
• Do not store the cartridge in salty air or where there are corrosive gases such as those from aerosol sprays.
• Keep the cartridge away from a monitor's cathode ray tube (CRT), disk drives and floppy disks. The magnet in the cartridge can distort the image on the
CRT, or damage data on disks.
Chapter 5 Maintenance 145
Handling Guidelines
• Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight. Do not expose it to bright light or to room light for more than
5 minutes.
• Do not open the drum’s protective shutter on the cartridge. If the shutter is open and the drum is damaged, print quality might deteriorate.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If the toner becomes caked in the cartridge, it might prove impossible to free it even by shaking the cartridge, which results in print quality deterioration.
• Keep the cartridge away from a monitor's cathode ray tube (CRT), disk drives and floppy disks. The magnet in the cartridge can distort the image on the CRT, or damage data on disks.
• Do not touch the drum’s protective shutter. Avoid holding the cartridge in such a way that your hand is touching the drum’s protective shutter.
• When transporting the printer, remove the cartridge from the printer. (Put the cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it with thick cloth to prevent exposure to light.)
Correct Handling
146 Maintenance Chapter 5
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of toner cartridges in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge.
Replacing the EP-22 Cartridge
The EP-22 cartridge typically lasts for about 2,500 prints of Letter or A4size paper. This assumes that the printer is used for standard word processing documents printed at the default density, and at 4% dot ratio
(equivalent to print coverage of approximately 5%). The actual cartridge life depends on the average page coverage of your printed documents. If your documents have on average less text with lots of white space, the cartridge lasts longer. However, if you frequently print graphics and text, the cartridge life is shorter.
When a print quality problem cannot be corrected following the steps in
chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” it is probably time to replace the cartridge
with a new one.
1.
Grasp the top of the front cover on both sides, then gently pull the cover until it is fully open.
Chapter 5 Maintenance 147
CAUTION:
The shaded part of the face-up delivery area is hot when the printer is in use. Be careful not to touch this area, because personal injury might result.
2.
Grasp the EP-22 cartridge by its handle and lift it out of the printer.
3.
Install a new cartridge. For details, see “Installing the EP-22
Cartridge” in the Getting Started Guide.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of toner cartridges in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
148 Maintenance Chapter 5
Cleaning
Whenever you replace the EP-22 cartridge and the printing quality is poor, you may need to use the Cleaning function. Follow the instructions below.
1.
Place letter or A4-size paper in the MP tray.
2.
Click on the printer icon in the taskbar to open the Status Window.
3.
From the Options menu, click Cleaning. A cleaning sheet starts printing. When printing starts, the Status Window message area displays
“Cleaning” and when printing completes, it returns to normal.

Network Adapter
When the optional network adapter is connected to the parallel port of the
LBP-810, the printer can connect directly to a network. The network adapter and host have a peer-to-peer connection. The client can also be connected to the network adapter through a print server.
The network adapter for the LBP-810 printer can also connect to other
Canon Advanced Printing Technology printer models. It cannot be connected to printers that do not have the Canon Advanced Printing
Technology.
Appendix B
Secure the network adapter by snapping the two wire clips (located on the printer) into the network adapter.
Network Adapter 153
Connecting Directly From Clients
Centralized control of print jobs is not available because print queues are distributed among all clients.
When multiple jobs compete, jobs print in the order of arrival at the network adapter.
Jobs may not arrive in the order they were sent. For example, if client 1 enters jobs A and B, and then client 2 enters job C, the print order might be A, C, then B, if job B did not arrive at the network adapter until job A was completed.
You must install the print monitor for the network adapter on each client.
When using the Add Printer wizard, you must connect directly to the network.
Since the printer port is treated as a local port, choose “AXIS CAPT Port” in the port settings dialog box.
154 Network Adapter Appendix B
Connecting Through A Print Server
Using a print server, you can control print jobs (for example, change printing order, cancel jobs, etc.) centrally.
When multiple jobs compete, they print in the order in which the jobs are entered.
The print monitor for the network adapter needs to be installed only on the printer server. It is not necessary to install it on each of the clients.
You can install the printer from the server unless you are using a
Windows 95/98/Me server and a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP client.
