Installation Precautions<br />

Environment<br />

Caution<br />

Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable<br />

or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down<br />

or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal<br />

injury or damage to the machine.<br />

Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt<br />

become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the<br />

danger of fire or electrical shock.<br />

Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or<br />

locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.<br />

To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and<br />

maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave<br />

adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow air to<br />

be properly ventilated out of the printer.<br />

Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and<br />

performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room<br />

(recommended room temperature: around 23°C (73.4°F), humidity:<br />

around 60% RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site<br />

for the machine.<br />

• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.<br />

• Avoid locations with vibrations.<br />

• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.<br />

• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.<br />

• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.<br />

During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause<br />

any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long<br />

period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely<br />

large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain<br />

the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room<br />

be properly ventilated.


Power Supply/Grounding the Machine<br />

Warning<br />

Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that<br />

specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These<br />

types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.<br />

Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects<br />

come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or<br />

electric shock.<br />

Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground<br />

connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case<br />

of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact<br />

your service representative.<br />

Other precautions<br />

Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.<br />

The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure<br />

that the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is<br />

easily accessible.<br />

Handling of plastic bags<br />

Warning<br />

Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from<br />

children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing<br />

suffocation.<br />

Precautions for Use<br />

Cautions when using the machine<br />

Warning<br />

Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower<br />

vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This<br />

situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they<br />

fall inside.<br />

Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a<br />

danger of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the<br />

machine.<br />

Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not<br />

place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or<br />

cause any other type of damage. These types of situations<br />

present a danger of fire or electrical shock.<br />

Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts as<br />

there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the laser. If<br />

the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing blindness.<br />

If the machine becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the<br />

machine, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation<br />

occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the main<br />

power switch off () immediately, be absolutely certain to remove the<br />

power plug from the outlet and then contact your service representative.<br />

If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into<br />

the machine, turn the main power switch off () immediately.<br />

Next, be absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the<br />

outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your<br />

service representative.<br />

Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as<br />

there is a danger of electrical shock.<br />

Always contact your service representative for maintenance or<br />

repair of internal parts.<br />

Caution<br />

Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the<br />

power cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a<br />

danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug<br />

when removing the power cord from the outlet.)<br />

Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the<br />

machine. If the power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or<br />

electrical shock.<br />

If the machine will not be used for a short period of time<br />

(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (O). If it will not be used<br />

for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the power<br />

plug from the outlet for safety purposes during the time the machine is<br />

not in use..<br />

Always hold the designated parts only when lifting or moving the<br />

machine.<br />

For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the<br />

outlet when performing cleaning operations.


If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire or<br />

other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with<br />

your service representative in regard to cleaning of internal parts.<br />

This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of<br />

high humidity. Consult with your service representative in regard<br />

to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the machine.<br />

Other precautions<br />

Do not place heavy objects on the machine or cause other damage to<br />

the machine.<br />

Do not open the upper front cover, turn off the main power switch, or pull<br />

out the power plug during printing.<br />

When lifting or moving the machine, contact your service representative.<br />

Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit<br />

boards. They could be damaged by static electricity.<br />

Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this<br />

handbook.<br />

Use shielded interface cables.<br />

Caution<br />

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than<br />

those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.<br />

Cautions when Handling Consumables<br />

Caution<br />

Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner Container. Dangerous<br />

sparks may cause burns.<br />

Keep the Toner Container out of the reach of children.<br />

If toner happens to spill from the Toner Container, avoid inhalation<br />

and ingestion, as well as contact with your eyes and skin.<br />

• If you do happen to inhale toner, move to a place with fresh<br />

air and gargle thoroughly with a large amount of water. If coughing<br />

develops, contact a physician.<br />

• If you do happen to ingest toner, rinse your mouth out with water and<br />

drink 1 or 2 cups of water to dilute the contents of your stomach. If<br />

necessary, contact a physician.<br />

• If you do happen to get toner in your eyes, flush them thoroughly<br />

with water. If there is any remaining tenderness, contact a physician.<br />

• If toner does happen to get on your skin, wash with soap and water.<br />

Do not attempt to force open or destroy the Toner Container.<br />

Other precautions<br />

After use, always dispose of the Toner Container in accordance with<br />

Federal, State and Local rules and regulations.<br />

Store all consumables in a cool, dark location.<br />

If the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, remove<br />

the paper from the cassette, return it to its original package and reseal it.<br />

General Guidelines<br />

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can<br />

also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified<br />

below.<br />

Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that<br />

occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.<br />

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can<br />

result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in<br />

extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below<br />

will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, troublefree<br />

printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.<br />

Paper Availability<br />

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper<br />

intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.<br />

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and<br />

premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease<br />

with which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the<br />

smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in<br />

which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less<br />

risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the<br />

level of quality your printed output will reflect.<br />

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the<br />

machine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce highquality<br />

results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not<br />

economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.<br />

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined<br />

later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m 2 (16 to 31.9b).<br />

Paper Specifications<br />

Selecting the Right Paper<br />

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.<br />

Condition<br />

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn,<br />

embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.<br />

Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper<br />

jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using<br />

paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should<br />

have as smooth and even a surface as possible.<br />

Composition<br />

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains<br />

plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off<br />

harmful fumes.<br />

Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the<br />

total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.<br />

Paper Sizes<br />

Cassettes and the MP Tray are available for the paper sizes shown<br />

below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and width.<br />

The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.<br />

MP Tray:<br />

Envelope Monarch, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope #6,<br />

Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II,<br />

Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, ISO A6, Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, JIS B6,<br />

Hagaki, Ofuku-Hagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 × 148 to<br />

216 × 356mm (2-13/16 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))<br />

Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16<br />

inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and<br />

Legal as the standard paper size.<br />

Cassette:<br />

Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II, Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, A6 (only<br />

for machine’s paper cassette), Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, Envelope C5, 16<br />

kai, Custom (Paper Cassette: 105 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (4-1/8 × 5-<br />

13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches), Paper Feeder: 148 × 210 to 216 × 356mm<br />

(5-13/16 × 8-5/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))<br />

Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16<br />

inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and<br />

Legal as the standard paper size.<br />

Smoothness<br />

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough<br />

or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper<br />

that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.<br />

(Fogging is a gray background effect.)<br />

2-4 Loading Paper


Basis weight<br />

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter<br />

(g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or<br />

paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of<br />

paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet<br />

feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner<br />

fusing.<br />

The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m² (16 to 31.9<br />

lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² (16 to 59<br />

lib/ream) for the MP tray.<br />

Paper Weight Equivalence Table<br />

The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square<br />

meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.<br />

Thickness<br />

U. S. Bond Weight (lb) Europe Metric Weight (g/m²)<br />

The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor<br />

extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple<br />

feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you<br />

are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may<br />

be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).<br />

Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry<br />

mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed<br />

ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.<br />

Loading Paper 2-5


The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the<br />

room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs<br />

moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance.<br />

When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the<br />

edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.<br />

Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The<br />

moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.<br />

To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a<br />

controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:<br />

• Store paper in a cool, dry location.<br />

• Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Re-wrap paper<br />

that is not in use.<br />

• Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton<br />

to separate it from the floor.<br />

• After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as<br />

the machine for 48 hours before use.<br />

• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.<br />

Paper Grain<br />

When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain running<br />

parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain).<br />

Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper<br />

used in the machine should be long grain.<br />

Other Paper Properties<br />

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.<br />

Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper<br />

jams.<br />

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When<br />

paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce<br />

flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the<br />

machine can correct their curling.<br />

Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is<br />

electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to<br />

release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the<br />

Output Tray.<br />

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness<br />

of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.<br />

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged<br />

edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can<br />

cause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper<br />

supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do<br />

not occur.<br />

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from<br />

damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable<br />

supplier is usually correctly packaged.<br />

2-6 Loading Paper


Special Paper<br />

The following types of special paper can be used:<br />

• Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)<br />

• Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)<br />

• Colored paper<br />

• Recycled paper<br />

• Overhead projector transparencies<br />

• Cardstock<br />

• Coated paper<br />

• Envelopes<br />

• Labels<br />

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing<br />

type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock,<br />

coated, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.<br />

Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably,<br />

special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during<br />

printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off<br />

during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.<br />

Transparency<br />

This printer is available for monochorome printing on transparencies.<br />

Transparencies must be fed to the MP Tray. One transparency can be<br />

loaded at a time.<br />

Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the<br />

printing process.<br />

Transparencies must be placed on the MP tray with the long edge<br />

towards the printer.<br />

Labels<br />

Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample<br />

on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.<br />

Labels must be fed to the MP Tray. One label can be loaded at a time.<br />

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must<br />

never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper<br />

sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.<br />

Label paper has a structure<br />

comprising of three layers, as<br />

shown in the diagram. The top<br />

sheet is printed on. The<br />

adhesive layer consists of<br />

pressure-sensitive adhesives.<br />

The carrier sheet (also called<br />

the linear or backing sheet)<br />

holds the labels until used.<br />

Due to the complexity of its<br />

composition, adhesive-<br />

Top sheet (white<br />

bond paper)<br />

Adhesive<br />

Carrier sheet<br />

backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.<br />

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no<br />

spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are<br />

liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.<br />

Loading Paper 2-7


Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet<br />

around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier<br />

sheet until after printing is finished.<br />

The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.<br />

Postcards<br />

Up to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. Fan the stack of postcards<br />

and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the<br />

postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards<br />

may cause paper jams.<br />

Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when<br />

the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub<br />

the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.<br />

Envelopes<br />

Acceptable<br />

Top sheet<br />

Carrier sheet<br />

Unacceptable<br />

Item Specification<br />

Weight of top sheet 44 to 74g/m² (12 to 20 lb/ream)<br />

Composite weight 104 to 151g/m² (28 to 40 lb/ream)<br />

Thickness of top sheet 0.086 to 0.107mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils)<br />

Composite thickness 0.115 to 0.145mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)<br />

Moisture content 4 to 6% (composite)<br />

Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in<br />

the face-up position, right edge first.<br />

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of<br />

ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing<br />

quality over the entire envelope surface.<br />

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper<br />

Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases<br />

when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes,<br />

make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.<br />

• Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.<br />

• Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope<br />

printing can cause premature printer wear.<br />

• If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.<br />

• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10<br />

printed envelopes on the output tray.<br />

2-8 Loading Paper


Thick Paper<br />

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the<br />

MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are<br />

created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place<br />

and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth<br />

them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.<br />

Note If the paper jams<br />

even after you smooth it<br />

out, load the paper in<br />

the MP Tray with the<br />

leading edge raised up<br />

a few millimeters as<br />

shown in the<br />

illustration.<br />

Colored Paper<br />

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper.<br />

Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. In addition, the pigments<br />

used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the<br />

printing process (up to 200°C or 392°F).<br />

Preprinted Paper<br />

Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond<br />

paper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.The preprinted ink<br />

must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process,<br />

and must not be affected by silicone oil.<br />

Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of<br />

paper commonly used for calendars.<br />

Recycled paper<br />

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white<br />

bond paper except for whiteness. Refer to Paper Specifications on<br />

page 2-2.<br />

Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the<br />

machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.<br />

General Information<br />

This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform for the<br />

printer. You can replace the toner container according to the printer's<br />

status:<br />

Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.<br />

Toner Container Replacement<br />

The Toner indicator identifies the toner status at two stages of toner<br />

usage.<br />

• When the printer becomes low on toner, the Toner indicator flashes.<br />

Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.<br />

• If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the Toner<br />

indicator lights up just before the toner is used up. The toner<br />

container must then be replaced immediately.<br />

In either case, replace the toner container.<br />

Frequency of toner container replacement<br />

Assuming an average toner coverage of 5% and EcoPrint mode turned<br />

off, the toner container will need replacing approximately once every<br />

7,200 pages (LP 4135) or 2,500 pages (LP 4130).<br />

Starter Toner Container<br />

The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner<br />

container. The starter toner container lasts an average of 2,300 pages<br />

(LP 4135) or 1,000 pages (LP 4130).<br />

Toner Kits<br />

Note Information Collection on Memory Chips - The memory chip<br />

attached to the toner container is designed to improve<br />

convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation of<br />

empty toner containers; and to gather information to support new<br />

product planning and development. The information gathered is<br />

anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific individual and<br />

the data is intended to be used anonymously.<br />

For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine <strong>TA</strong> <strong>Triumph</strong>-<strong>Adler</strong><br />

Parts and Supplies.<br />

A new toner kit contains the following items:<br />

• Toner Container<br />

• Plastic waste bag for old toner container<br />

• Installation Guide<br />

Troubleshooting 5-1


General Guidelines<br />

The table below provides basic solutions for problems you may<br />

encounter with the printer. We suggest you consult this table to<br />

troubleshoot the problems before calling for service repairs.<br />

Symptom Check Items Corrective Actions<br />

The printer will not print<br />

from the computer.<br />

Check the Ready indicator. Using the information on page 1-5, check if an error<br />

has occurred and clear the error.<br />

Check if a status page can be printed. If the status page was printed successfully, there<br />

may be a problem with the connection to the<br />

computer. Refer to the Installation Guide and check<br />

the connection.<br />

Check that the indicators display in a<br />

recognized combination. Refer to<br />

Indicators on page 1-5 for further<br />

information.<br />

Tips<br />

Turn the power switch Off (O) and then On ( | )<br />

again. Print the job again.<br />

Print quality is poor. – Refer to Print Quality Problems on page 5-3.<br />

Text is missing on the<br />

Windows test page.<br />

– This is a problem specific to the Windows OS. It is<br />

not a printer problem. It does not affect print quality.<br />

Paper is jammed. – Refer to Cleaning Paper Jams on page 5-11.<br />

The indicators are off and<br />

the fan is not working.<br />

The printer prints a status<br />

page but data from the<br />

computer is not being<br />

printed.<br />

Vapor is emitted near the<br />

top tray.<br />

Check the power cord. Connect both ends of the power cord securely. Try<br />

replacing the power cord. Refer to Installation Guide<br />

for information.<br />

Check the power switch is in the Refer to the Installation Guide for more information.<br />

On ( | ) position.<br />

Check program files and application<br />

software.<br />

Try printing another file or using another print<br />

command. If the problem occurs with a specific file or<br />

application, check the printer settings for that<br />

application.<br />

Check the interface cable. Connect both ends of the interface cable securely.<br />

Try replacing the printer cable. Refer to the<br />

Installation Guide for more information.<br />

Check if the temperature is low near<br />

the location of the printer, or if the<br />

paper that is being used has been<br />

exposed to humidity.<br />

Depending on the operating environment of the<br />

printer and the condition of the paper, heat<br />

generated during printing can evaporate water<br />

moisture in the printed paper, emitting vapor from the<br />

printer. In this case, printing can be continued<br />

without any problem.<br />

To correct this, increase the temperature in the room,<br />

and use paper that has been stored in a dry place.<br />

Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When<br />

you have encountered a problem that cannot be solved following the<br />

guidelines above, try the following:<br />

• Restart the computer you are using to send print jobs to the printer.<br />

• Obtain and use the latest version of the printer driver. The latest<br />

versions of printer drivers and utilities are available at:<br />

http://www.triumph-adler.com.<br />

• Make sure that the procedures for printing are correctly followed in<br />

the application software. Consult the documentation supplied with<br />

the application software.<br />

5-2 Troubleshooting

5-10 Troubleshooting


Cleaning Paper Jams<br />

If paper jams in the paper transport system, or no paper sheets are fed<br />

at all, the printer automatically goes offline, and the Jam indicator will<br />

light. Status Monitor or Embedded Web Server can indicate the location of<br />

the paper jam (the component where the paper jam has occurred).<br />

Remove the paper jam. After removing the paper jam, the printer will<br />

resume printing.<br />

Possible Paper Jam Locations<br />

The figure below shows the printer's paper paths including the optional<br />

paper feeder. The locations where paper jams might occur are also<br />

shown here, with each location explained in the table below. Paper jams<br />

can occur in more than one component on the paper paths.<br />

Paper jam location Description Reference page<br />

A Paper jam at the MP tray. page 5-12<br />

B Paper jam at the paper cassettes. The cassette number can be 1. page 5-13<br />

C Paper jam inside the duplexer. page 5-14<br />

D Paper jam inside the printer. page 5-15<br />

E Paper jam at the rear cover. page 5-17<br />

Troubleshooting 5-11


General Considerations for Clearing Jams<br />

Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting paper jam<br />

removal:<br />

• If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper,<br />

replace the paper with paper from another ream, or flip the paper<br />

stack over. The printer may have problems if paper jams recur after<br />

the paper is replaced.<br />

• Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after<br />

printing is resumed, depends on the location of the paper jam.<br />

MP Tray<br />

CAUTION When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not<br />

to tear it. Torn pieces of paper are difficult to remove and<br />

may be easily overlooked, deterring the paper jam recovery.<br />
