User's Notes
• High temperatures inside the printer can cause a breakdown. Do not lean anything against the vent or block it in any way.
8
BAJ087S
• Warm air from the vent is normal and not a cause for concern.
• Do not leave the left, top, or right front cover open. If you do, dust or other matter might get inside the printer, and this will reduce print quality.
About This Product
• During printing, do not move the printer or open its covers.
• Do not open the left, top, or right front cover during printing. If you do, printing will stop.
• During printing, do not pull out a paper tray. Printing will stop and the paper will jam.
• Do not touch the feed belt, the transparent black band, print head rail rod, ink tubes, or paper pressing board. Take care not to snag the sleeves of your clothing on the ink tubes.

• Take care not to let paper clips and other foreign objects fall inside the printer.
• After you install the print cartridge and switch the printer on for the first time, the print head priming process will begin. This process sometimes clogs the print head. If this happens, perform the head cleaning procedure.
• During printing, do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• During printing, do not subject the printer to external shock such as that caused by tapping paper on it.
• When not using the printer, turn off the power.
• You can place up to 20 kg (44.1 lb.) of evenly spread weight on the printer. Do not place any concentrated weight of more than 5 kg (11.1 lb.) on the printer.
• Do not place unsteady objects on the printer. If they fall, they will cause injury to users and/or damage to the printer.
• This printer has a nominal operational life of 5 years if used normally for 12 hours a day to produce up to 2,500 A4 prints a month. Exceeding these limits may reduce the operational life. The operational life also depends on the environment in which the printer is used.
• “Total Counter” displays the number of pages printed. Use “Total Counter” to estimate the number of pages that can be printed within the printer's remaining operational life. The printer's operational
9
1. Read This First
1 life is calculated based on the number of pages that it can print on plain paper in [Speed priority] mode.
• This printer is designed to have an operational life of 5 years or be good for 150,000 pages.
• Depending on your printing document, the ink collector unit may fill up sooner than normal.
An “Ink Collector almost full” message appears shortly before the ink collector unit is full. Although the printer remains usable until the unit is completely full, contact your sales or service representative as early as possible (charge incurred).
• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being removed from their packaging.
• Cartridges that are no longer usable for printing reserve a small quantity of ink for maintenance usage.
• Print cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies.
• Single-sided copies are printed at higher density than duplex-printed copies.
• For print quality and consistency, this printer always uses all the available ink colors (black, cyan, yellow, and magenta) to produce print images. Even if your print image is black and white or [Black and White] is selected in the printer properties dialog box, all ink colors will still be used.
• Printing stops if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. If a cartridge containing a color ink such as cyan, yellow, or magenta becomes empty, you cannot print, even in black/white. If a message prompting you to change the print cartridge appears, change the cartridge as soon as possible.
• Printing hundreds of copies in a single day might cause the print head to clog the following day. If this happens, perform the head cleaning procedure.
• This printer performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure consistent print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of disuse.
• Color ink may be used even if you print all-black text or if you specify black and white printing. It may also be used for print head cleaning and refreshing, which are done to maintain printer performance.
• If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Because the printer consumes a lot of ink for maintenance and print head cleaning when switched on after a long period of inactivity, we recommended you use the printer at least once a month.
• Do not move the printer while it is powered. Even when it is off, make sure the printer is on a level surface and safe from shock and vibration.
• Do not switch the printer off while it is busy. Make sure the printer is idle before switching it off.
• Condensation can form inside the printer if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Allow any condensation to fully evaporate by not switching the printer on for at least an hour after moving it.

Paper Handling Precautions
To ensure optimum print results, take care when handling paper before and after printing.
Loading Precautions
To ensure correct printing, handle the paper carefully.
Cautions when Loading Paper
• Pull the tray completely out before loading it with paper.
• Load only supported paper in the paper tray.
• Load paper with the print side face down in the paper trays.
• Load paper with the paper grain parallel to the feed direction.
• Do not load paper of different types at the same time.
• To load a different type of paper than that already loaded, first remove all currently loaded paper.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
BAJ042S
• Curled paper may jam. Straighten any curls before loading.
90
ZDJY202J
• Before loading envelopes, make sure their edges are sharply creased by rubbing the edges with a pen or similar object.

2. To print over a landscape image:
Load paper so that its right edge is pointing in the paper feed direction.
Paper Storage Precautions
This section gives cautions on storing paper.
If stored under adverse conditions, even paper suitable for printing can cause paper jams, poor print quality, or machine malfunctions. When you store paper, keep the following points in mind:
• Do not store paper in humid places.
• Do not store paper in direct sunlight.
• Store paper flat.
• Store unused paper in the original package.
Paper Type Precautions
Plain paper
• Use the bypass tray to print on thick paper (157 g/m 2 (42 lb.) or more).
• The only type of A6 (105 × 148 mm (4.2 × 5.9 inches)) paper that can be loaded in tray 1 is that of 80g/m 2 (21.5 lb.).
• After printing, some types of paper take longer than others to dry. With duplex printing, the ink may smear or rub off. Using the printer driver, specify how long to wait for the prints to dry between printing each side of a duplex sheet. For details, see the printer driver Help.
Inkjet plain paper
• When printing on inkjet plain paper, in the printer properties dialog box, click [Inkjet Plain Paper].
This allows printing at higher quality.
• In the printer properties dialog box, when [Inkjet Plain Paper] is selected, only one-sided printing is possible. To print on both sides of a sheet, click [Plain].
• Use as soon as possible after opening the package.
Glossy paper
• The time it takes for the ink to dry depends on the kind of printed image and the environmental conditions.
• If the temperature exceeds 25°C or the relative humidity exceeds 50%, problems with continuous feeding of glossy paper might occur. If this is the case, feed the sheets one by one.
• If you load multiple sheets of glossy paper and they do not feed in properly, feed them one by one.
92
Paper
• Ink smearing can be caused by environmental conditions (such as high humidity) and the type of image being printed (such as ink-heavy images).If smearing occurs, set [Print Quality] to
[Quality priority] or [Speed priority]. This may stop the ink smearing.
• Roller marks might appear on printed images.
• If paper is fed from the bypass tray, roller marks might appear on the printed image.
• To ensure water and oil resistance, leave the printed sheet to dry for about a day.
• Some print images can cause the paper to curl, which creates patchy print. If this happens, set
[Print Quality] to [Quality priority].
• Only one sided printing is possible.
• When using these sheets, see the instructions supplied with them.
Envelopes
• Up to 20 envelopes can be loaded in tray 1.
• If the envelopes bulge, flatten them.
• Load envelopes carefully, because the printable area depends on the orientation.
• Set the lever to the rear position before printing.
Thick paper
• Thick paper is heavier than 157 g/m 2 (42 lb.).
• You can insert paper with weights up to 255 g/m 2 (60 lb.) into the bypass tray.
• Insert paper with the print side face up into the bypass tray.
Cautions to Observe After Printing
Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried. otherwise, the ink may smudge.
• The ink may smear depending on the type of image. If this happens, set the envelope selector to the rear position .
Non-compatible Paper
Check if the paper is compatible.
Do not use paper that is:
• wrinkled, folded, or damaged
• wavy at the ends
• curled
• absorbent
• dry and conducive to static buildup

• already printed on (such as the back of preprinted paper)
• preprinted (unless specified)
• heat sensitive/non-carbon
• too thick or thin
• pre-stitched
• glued or tacked
• stapled or clipped together
• dark in places
• irregular in length and proportion
• Even if compatible paper types are used, print quality may be lower than usual or paper jams may occur if the paper was improperly stored.

Nozzle Check
You can print a test pattern to check whether the inks are being correctly ejected from the print head nozzles.
Head-cleaning
You can clean the print head.
Clean the head if certain colors are not printed or are printed faintly.
Head cleaning consumes ink.
Head-flushing
You can clean the print head more thoroughly.
Because head flushing consumes more ink than head cleaning, do it only if the print head cannot be cleaned properly by head cleaning.

Handling Print Cartridges
Important points about handling Print cartridges are explained.
• If ink comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately in running water. For other symptoms, consult a doctor.
• If ink is ingested, induce vomiting by drinking a strong saline solution. Consult a doctor immediately.
• If your skin comes into contact with ink, wash the affected area thoroughly with water or soap and water.
• Keep the ink or ink container out of reach of children.
About Print cartridges
• Print cartridges comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety and reliability, use genuine Print cartridges.
Replacing a Print Cartridge
• When using the printer for the first time, install the Print cartridges supplied with the printer.
• As soon as you install the supplied print cartridges, the printer begins feeding ink to the print heads. Be sure not to reinstall used print cartridges.
Using Print cartridges
• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being removed from their packaging.
• Do not open the package of a Print cartridge until the cartridge will be installed in the printer.
• Do not touch the print cartridges' ink inlets or chip contacts.
• Do not shake Print cartridges strongly. Ink may leak out.
• Do not take apart Print cartridges.
• Do not open the right front cover except when installing Print cartridges. Do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord during the process of installing the cartridges.
• Always confirm the color of a Print cartridge before installing it.
• Do not remove a Print cartridge once it has been installed unless necessary.
• Do not remove a Print cartridge while printing is being performed. Printing will stop.
• For print quality and consistency, this printer always uses all the available ink colors (black, cyan, yellow, and magenta) to produce print images. Even if your print image is black and white or
[Black and White] is selected in the printer properties dialog box, all ink colors will still be used.
• Printing stops if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. If a cartridge containing a color ink such as cyan, yellow, or magenta becomes empty, you cannot print, even in black/white. If a message prompting you to change the print cartridge appears, change the cartridge as soon as possible.
Storing Print cartridges
• Store print cartridges at a temperature of between -20 and 43°C.
Ink consumption
• To protect the print head and ensure print quality, the printer performs periodic maintenance and print head cleaning when it is switched on and before printing. Both of these operations consume ink.
• The amount of ink consumed during cleaning depends on the cartridge size.

Cleaning
Clean the outside of the printer regularly to maintain the condition of the printer.
• To avoid hazardous electric shock, do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual. When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact your service representative.
• Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight.
To clean the exterior of the printer, wipe it with a soft, dry or damp cloth. If the dirt does not come off, wipe the printer first with a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent, then with a damp cloth, and finally with a dry cloth.
• Do not use volatile chemicals like benzene or thinner, or insecticides on the printer. Using these chemicals could deform, crack, or change the color of the printer.
• When wiping the printer with a cloth moistened with detergent, be sure to wipe only the exterior.

Moving
Moving
The precautions when moving the printer a short distance or long distance are explained.
Moving a Short Distance
Take the following precautions when moving the printer a short distance - for instance, when attaching an optional tray or relocating the printer inside the same room.
• The machine weighs around 19.2 kg (42.4 lb) (28 kg (61.8 lb) with options installed).
• To avoid injury to self and damage to the machine, lift the machine slowly and carefully by gripping the central areas near the base on both sides. When lifting the machine with options attached, have at least one other person assist you.
• Careless handling and over exertion when lifting can result in breakage and/or injury.
5
• Be sure to keep the printer level. If it is unduly tilted, ink will leak from the ink collector.
1.
Turn the power off, disconnect the USB cable, or ethernet cable, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Before moving the printer, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the printer, too.
2.
Lift the printer and move it to the place where you want to install it.
BAJ082S
Always lift and carry the printer with another person. Grip the indented area at the base of the printer's sides, as shown. Lift and carry the printer slowly and carefully.
Make sure the power cord is not trapped under the printer.

Moving a Long Distance
1.
Turn the power off, disconnect the USB cable, or ethernet cable, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Do not remove the print cartridges. Remove the paper.
2.
Pack the printer for transport when moving it a long distance such as when changing office or residence. Disconnect all cables, place the printer in the box it was in when purchased, and transport in a level manner. After moving the printer, first remove and then reattach the network interface board.
Contact sales or service representative for details.
• The inside of the printer may become dirty if the printer is not level when transported.
• When you move the printer, unplug the power cord from the printer, too.

5
When Not Using for a Long Period of Time
If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and then unplug it from the wall outlet. It is recommended to print at least once a month, because the printer consumes a considerable amount of ink for periodic maintenance and print head cleaning when switched on after a long period of inactivity.
Be careful of the following:
• The nozzles of the print-heads may dry out and become clogged. To prevent this, periodically print something. Even if you do not print anything, turn the printer on for a few minutes once a month.
• If you do not use the printer for a long period of time, always check if the nozzles are clogged by printing a nozzle check test pattern. Clean the print-heads as necessary, and then begin printing.
• If you try to use the printer after it has been out of use for a long time, it may not print properly even if head cleaning is carried out several times. If this is the case, carry out head flushing. If the print heads are still clogged, leave the printer for about ten minutes, and then print the nozzle check pattern. If the problem persists, switch the printer off and leave it for at least eight hours. This should unclog the print heads.
• After head cleaning is performed multiple times, clogged ink will dissolve over time, and normal printing may become possible.
• If there is no improvement after performing the steps above, contact sales or service representative.

Print Results Are Not Satisfactory
If print quality is poor, check the printer and printer driver settings for problems. If no problems are apparent, check the print cartridge or other consumables.
Prints are Unsatisfactory
This section explains how to troubleshoot the printer when printing is uneven (due to the wrong amount of ink being used) or when prints are smudged, smeared, or blotchy.
Have you printed the nozzle check test pattern?
Print the nozzle check test pattern to check whether the print head nozzles are all ejecting ink properly, and, if necessary, carry out head cleaning or head-flushing. The procedure is as follows:
1. Print the nozzle check test pattern.
2. If the pattern is patchy, clean the print head, print the pattern again, and then check the result.
3. Do not use the printer for 5 to 10 minutes then, print the nozzle check test pattern again, and then check the result.
4. Clean the print head and print the nozzle check test pattern, clean and print a second time, and then check the result.
5. If the pattern is still patchy, flush the print head, print the pattern again, and then check the result.
6. Do not use the printer for 5 to 10 minutes, print the nozzle check test pattern again, and then check the result.
7. If the pattern is still patchy, switch the printer off, do not use it for about 8 hours, switch it back on, print the nozzle check test pattern, and then check the result.
If the pattern is still patchy, contact your sales or service representative.
See p.134 "Nozzle Check", p.135 "Head-cleaning" and p.137 "Head-flushing".
Does the envelope selector setting match?
Set the envelope selector according to the type of paper. For envelopes, set the lever to the rear position
; for everything else, set the lever to the forward position . See p.239 "Envelope Selector Position
Has the printer not been used for a long time?
The ink may be dry or the nozzles of the print-heads may be clogged. Print the nozzle check test pattern
and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.134 "Nozzle Check", p.135 "Head-cleaning".
Have you changed the envelope selector setting?
Depending on the thickness of the envelopes, changing the envelope selector setting might result in blurred or double lines being printed. If you switch the envelope selector to , be sure to select [Head Position],

test pattern and clean the print-heads as necessary. See p.138 "Head Position", p.134 "Nozzle
Check" and p.135 "Head-cleaning".
Is there a problem with the printer's location?
Make sure that the printer is level. Place the printer in a location where it will not be subject to shaking or excessive force.
Have you performed registration?
Perform registration if the print start point indicates misalignment.
After attaching the paper feed unit, and the multi bypass tray, you must register where to start printing on
paper loaded in each paper tray. See p.142 "Registration".
Have you changed the paper feed setting?
If horizontal lines are printed unaligned, print images are patchy, or a black or white line is printed at
Does the paper type setting match?
Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver matches the type of paper loaded.
Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?
Check which side should be printed on when using inkjet plain paper. If you print on the wrong side, the
Precautions", p.86 "Compatible Paper Types"
Is the paper being used too thick or thin?
Check if the paper is compatible. The print heads will rub against paper that is too thick or thin, and this
will cause smearing. See p.86 "Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities".
Have you touched the printed side of paper?
Avoid touching the printed side of paper. Particularly, avoid touching glossy paper that have just been printed because these require longer than normal to dry. Remove them one at a time from the tray 1 cover
Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?
Some paper cannot be loaded lengthwise depending on the size of the paper. Check the orientation in
which the paper is loaded. See p.86 "Loadable Paper Sizes and Quantities".

Colors Do Not Match the Displayed Image
If there are differences between colors of the print results and the displayed image, the following questions should be addressed.
Has the hue of colors been adjusted?
Since printed colors and screen colors are produced by different methods, a color printed and a color displayed on a screen can have different hues even though they are the “same” color. Use the color matching function to make the hue of printed colors and displayed colors closer.
Has the nozzle check been performed?
The print-heads may be clogged and the amount of ink may not be able to be regulated. Print the nozzle

Cautions to Take When Using in a Network
Using DHCP
This printer can be used in a DHCP environment. In a WINS server environment, the printer name can simultaneously be registered with a WINS server.
• Supported DHCP server operating systems are: Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server,
Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or higher, and UNIX standard.
• The IP address acquired from DHCP can be checked on the configuration page. For details about printing a configuration page, see “Checking the Printer Status and Settings using the Printer's Control
Panel (List/Test Print Menu)”.
• When there are multiple DHCP servers, make the same reservation for all. This printer uses information from the DHCP server that responds first.
