User's Notes
zHigh temperatures inside the printer can cause a breakdown. Do not lean anything against the
vent or block it in any way.
zWarm air from the vent is normal and not a cause for concern.
zDo not leave the top cover open. Doing so could cause an injury.
zDuring printing, do not move the printer or open its covers.
zDuring printing, do not pull out a paper tray. Printing will stop and the paper will jam.
zDo not touch the feed belt.
zTake care not to let paper clips and other foreign objects fall inside the printer.
zDuring printing, do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
zDuring printing, do not subject the printer to external shock such as that caused by tapping paper
on it.
zWhen not using the printer, turn off the power.
zDo not place more than 5 kg (11.1 lb.) on the printer. (The outer surface of the printer can tolerate
up to 20 kg (44.1 lb.).)
zThis printer has a nominal operational life of 5 years if used normally for 8 hours a day to pro-
duce 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.
z”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 life is calculated based on the number of pages that it can print on plain paper in
[Speed priority] mode.
zThis printer is designed to have an operational life of 5 years or be good for 150,000 pages.
zDepending 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. Contact
your service representative as soon as possible for a replacement ink collector unit (charge
incurred).
zThe printing yields of print cartridges are as follows: (The yields of the print cartridges packaged
with the printer are lower than the yields described below.)
zBlack: approximately 1500 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
zCyan: approximately 1000 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
zMagenta: approximately 1000 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
zYellow: approximately 1000 A4/Letter sheets (5% chart)
Printing yields vary depending on page content, paper type, paper size, and environmental con-
ditions. Also, cartridges may need to be changed before the yields above have been reached
due to deterioration over time. To maintain print quality, cartridges should be opened before their
expiration date and used within six months of being opened.

zInk can remain inside used print cartridges.
zColor 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 per-
formance.
zPrint cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure
safety and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies.
zBlack and white printing also consumes color ink.
zPrinting 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.
zIf you print a large number of pages in a day, for instance, hundreds of pages, the nozzles of the
print-heads may be clogged the next day. If this happens, clean the print-heads.
zThis printer performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure consist-
ent print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of disuse.
