Positioning the Printer
Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:
Clearance
Be sure to secure enough space
around the printer. Prolonged
use without sufficient clearance
may cause heat to build up
within the printer, resulting in
fire.
Environment
Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the rec-
ommended range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased
chance of paper jams.
Places to Avoid
Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to:
• Direct drafts of hot or cold air
• Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near building entrances.)
• Sudden temperature or humidity changes
• Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators
•Excessivedust
•Vibration
• Unstable surfaces and surfaces that are not level
• Ammonia or other harmful fumes (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or
make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!)
• Excessive sunlight or humidity
• Lack of ventilation
• Low air pressure, e.g., elevations greater than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above
sea level
Te m p e r a tu r e 10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F)

Connecting the Printer to the Computer
There are various ways of connectingthe printer to the computer, such as throughthe
parallel interface connector, through the USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface connec-
tor, through the option serial interface board kit (IB-11) or through the option network
interface card.
Printer Connections
Before performing this step, be sure to turn off both the printer and the com-
puter’s power switches and unplug the printer’s power plug from the power
outlet. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
The standard Centronics parallel interface connector ( ) and USB interface

included) into the parallel interface con-
nector on the rear of the printer.
• Use a parallel printer cable
that complies with the
IEEE1284 standards.
• The printer will work best if it
is installed near the computer.
The connecting cable should
be shielded and not be longer
than 3 meters (10 feet).
2Close the clips on both sides to fix the
connector in place.
Plug the other end of the printer cable
into the computer’s parallel interface
connector.

Adding Paper to the Paper Cassette and MP
Tray
The paper cassette can accommodate A5 to A3 size paper and can hold approxi-
mately 250 sheets. The MP (Multi Purpose) tray can accommodate the various paper
sizes and can hold approximately 100 sheets of paper.
Paper sizes that are not standard sizes (custom sizes) but within the size limita-
tions can also be loaded into the cassette. When loading custom sizes into the cas-
sette, the size must be input into the printer on the operator panel (Refer to the
Operation Guide [PDF file] provided on the CD-ROM). Standard size paper set-
tings are indicated as fixed positions in the cassette.
The following paper weights can
be used with the printer.
The edges of paper are sharp. When loading paper, be careful not to cut
your hand on the paper.
Paper cassette
The paper cassette is adjusted to A4 size at the time of shipment. Take the follow-
ing steps to set paper into the paper cassette.

the operator panel. See the
Operation Guide (PDF file) pro-
vided on the CD-ROM.
4If you are going to set paper that is
longer than A4R, pull out the extension
paper cassettes pushing the lock lever
one by one and adjust them to the
desired paper size.
5Adjust the positions of the paper guides
to the paper size you are going to use by
sliding both the paper guides pushing
the release lever on the right side paper
guide.

3Adjust the position of the paper guides
on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes
are attached to the MP tray. For stan-
dard paper sizes, slide the guides to the
position marked correspondingly.
4Align the paper with the paper guides
and insert as far as it will go.
Make sure that the paper you
set fits below the load limit
marks on the right and left side
paper guides.
If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, for example, if the
paper is already printed on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite
direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.

2Open the fuser cover as illustrated.
While holding down the release lever
(green colored) remove the jammed
paper as shown in the figure.
3After removing the jammed paper, close
