Turning the Printer On/Off
Turning On the Printer
When you turn the printer on, the printer performs a self-diagnostic test to check
the status of the printer and any options installed, and then printing is enabled.
IMPORTANT
•
Insert the paper cassette before turning the power on when the printer is being turned on
for the first time after it has been installed.
•
A blank sheet of paper may be discharged when the power is turned on for the first time
after the printer has been installed. This is normal, and is not a malfunction.
1
Press the power switch on the left side of the printer to the “I”
position.
When the power is turned on, the indicators and the LCD display on the control
panel are turned on. Then, the printer performs a self-diagnostic test to check the
status of the printer and any options installed.
If no errors are found, the オンライン
indicator, the 印刷可 indicator and the
selected paper feed indicator light up, and the message <00 LIPS> appears on
the display when the printer is ready to print.
The information shown on the LCD display is as follows:

Printing from the Paper Cassette
You can load up to 250 sheets of A5, B5, A4, A4R, B4, A3, Executive, Letter, Legal
or Ledger-size plain paper (64 g/m
2
) into the paper cassette or optional paper feed
unit. A4-size paper is normally loaded in the landscape orientation, however it can
be loaded in the portrait orientation also. Label sheet is also acceptable.
The paper should be loaded as shown below.
IMPORTANT
• To avoid paper jams, note the following precautions.
-Never remove the paper cassette while the printer is printing. This may cause paper
jams or a printer malfunction.
-Use only plain paper (64-90 g/m
2
) and label sheets.
-Never use paper that has fins, or paper that is wrinkled or extremely curled.
-Never stack paper in the paper cassette higher than the limit mark located inside the cassette.
-For details about what kind of paper can be used, see “Paper Requirements,” on P. 8.
-Refill the paper cassette with paper after the loaded paper has run out. Refilling the
paper cassette with paper before paper has run out may lead to problems when feeding
paper into the printer.
- If the printer is using a hard disk, do not remove or insert the paper cassette while the
HD indicator is turned on.
• Load label sheets in the paper cassette only. If label sheets are loaded in the multi-
purpose tray, this may cause irrecoverable paper jams or a printer malfunction.
• When printing on label sheets, always set
[ 用紙タイプ ]
in the printer driver’s
[給紙]
sheet
(or
[ デフォルト用紙タイプ ]
in the set-up menu if you are using an OS which cannot run a
Windows printer driver) to
[普通紙]
.
• If A4-size paper is loaded in the paper cassettes in the landscape and portrait orientations
respectively and [
自動
] is selected in the paper source settings, the landscape orientation is
given priority. When you want to feed paper from the paper cassette loaded with paper in
the portrait orientation, select the appropriate paper cassette in the printer driver (if you are
using an OS that cannot run a printer driver, use the control panel) before printing.
