WHERE TO PUT THE PRINTER
The printer’s location should be carefully chosen
because environmental conditions greatly affect its
performance.
Warning
• Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine
and freely accessible, so that in event of an
emergency, it can be unplugged easily.
• Only connect the machine to the power source
described on this sheet.
• Avoid multi-wiring.
• Do not damage, break or make any modifica-
tions to the power cord. Do not place heavy ob-
jects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than nec-
essary. These actions could cause an electric
shock or fire.
• Enclosed set of power cord is only for the use
with this product and should not be used with
any other electronic equipment or appliances.
Do not use any other power cord with this prod-
uct. They could cause electric shock or fire.
Caution
• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing
so might cause an electrical shock.
• Keep the machine in an area that is within opti-
mum environmental conditions. Operating the
machine in an environment that is outside the
recommended ranges of humidity and tempera-
ture can cause an electrical fire hazard. Keep
the area around the socket free of dust. Accu-
mulated dustcan become an electrical fire haz-
ard.
• Place the machine on a strong and level sur-
face. Otherwise, it might fall and injure some-
one.
• If you use the machine in a confined space,
ensure there is continuous air circulation.
Optimum Environmental Conditions
Permissible and recommended temperature and humidity
ranges are as follows:
Permissible Range Recommended range
The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2" both front to rear
and left to right.
Environments to Avoid
Important
❒ Areas exposed to direct sunlight or strong light
❒Dusty areas
❒Areas with corrosive gases
❒Areas that are excessively cold, hot, or humid
❒Locations near an air conditioner or humidifier
❒Locations near other electronic equipment
❒Locations subject to frequent strong vibration
Power Source
Connect the power cord to a power source with the follow-
ing specifications:
❒220-240V, 50/60Hz, 4.1A or more
Space Required for Installing
Leave enough space around the printer. This space is neces-
sary to operate the printer. The recommended (or minimum)
space requirement is as follows:
ZKEH185K
A: 10 cm (4 inches) or more
B: 10 cm (4 inches) or more
C: 100 cm (39.4 inches) or more
D: 10 cm (4 inches) or more
Note
❒To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this
machine in a large well ventilated room that has
an air turnover of more than 30 m3/hr/person.
❒When you use this machine for a long time in a
confined space without good ventilation, you may
detect an odd smell. To keep the workplace
comfortable, we recommend you keep it well
ventilated.
INSTALLING THE TONER
CARTRIDGE
Warning
• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner.Toner
dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed
to an open flame.
• Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer
or an appropriate collection site.
• If you dispose of the used toner cartridges your-
self, dispose of them according to local regula-
tions.
• Do not store toner, used toner, or toner contain-
ers in a place with an open flame.The toner might
ignite and cause burns or a fire.
Caution
• Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner car-
tridge out of reach of children.
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty
of water and move into a fresh air environment.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If your skin comes into contact with toner or used
toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap
and water.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with large amounts of water. Con-
sult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drink-
ing a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if
necessary.
• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when
removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your
skin comes into contact with toner, wash the af-
fected area thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold wa-
ter. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and
may make removing the stain impossible.
• Our products are engineered to meet the highest
standards of quality and functionality. When pur-
chasing expendable supplies, we recommend
using only those provided by an authorized dealer.
Important
❒Do not expose the toner cartridge to a light for a
long time. If you do, the toner cartridge will be
damaged and the print quality might be reduced.

CONNECTINGTHE PRINTER
TO A COMPUTER
❖ Network connection
Follow the procedure below to connect the printer
to the computer through the network. Prepare the
hub and other network devices before connecting
the 10 BASE-T or 100 BASE-TX cable to the
machine's Ethernet port.
Important
❒Use shielded Ethernet cable. Unshielded cables
create electromagnetic interference that could
cause malfunctions.
❒Ethernet cable is not supplied with this machine.
Select your cable according to the network
environment.
For basic model printer with the network inter-
face board installed, connect the ferrite core to
the interface cable. The network interface cable
loop should be about 15 cm (5.9 inches) (
햲 )
from the end of the cable (on the end closest
to the printer).
ZKEH126E
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port.
For basic model printer, connect the Ethernet cable to the network
interface board.
AFE302S
For network standard model printer, connect the Ethernet cable to
the standard Ethernet port.
AFE303S
Connect the other end of the cable to the printer's
network, such as a hub.
Reference
❒For details about network environment settings,
see Software Guide.
Check the LEDs on the Ethernet port.
A: Basic model printer
B: Network standard model printer
AFE304S
1 is lit when 100BASE-TX is in use and not lit when 10BASE-T is in
use.
2 is lit when the printer is securely connected to the network.
❖ USB connection
Important
❒USB2.0 interface cable is not supplied. Obtain it
separately, according to the computer you are
using.
❒USB connection is possible under Windows 98
SE/Me/2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, Mac OS
9.x, and Mac OS X v10.3 or higher.
❒Windows 98SE/Me supports USB1.1 speeds.
❒USB connection with Macintosh is only possible
via the printer's USB port.
Connect the square-shaped connector of the
USB2.0 cable to the USB port.
ZKET300E
Connect the opposite end's flat connector to
devices such as your computer's USB inter-
face, or a USB hub.
Reference
❒For details about settings for USB connection
printing, see Software Guide.
❖ Parallel connection
Important
❒The parallel interface cable is not provided with
the printer.
❒The printer's parallel connection is a standard
bidirectional interface that requires an IEEE
1284-compliant 36-pin parallel cable and host
computer parallel port.
❒Use shielded interface cable. Unshielded cables
create electromagnetic interference that could
cause malfunctions.
Turn off the printer and computer.
Connect the cable to the interface connector.
ZKEX115E
Securely attach the other end of the parallel
cable to your computer's parallel port. Secure
the cable.
Reference
❒For details about settings for parallel connection
printing, see Software Guide.
SETTING UP FOR PRINTING
Printing requires installation of a printer driver
for the operating system.
