Using A Wireless Network With Wps

Button On The Control Panel

If your machine and an access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS), you can easily configure the wireless network settings by pressing WPS button on the control panel without a computer. Items to prepare You need to ensure you have the following items ready to use: • Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS). • Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS). Choosing your network connection There are two methods to connect your machine to a wireless network by using WPS button on the control panel. The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your machine to a wireless network by pressing WPS button on the control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively. Access point (or wireless router) that supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) has the symbol shown below. Setting a wireless network in PBC mode Factory default in your machine is PBC mode. Connecting to a wireless network in PBC mode To connect your machine to a wireless network, follow the steps below. You need to check the status of the wireless LED.

Press

WPS button on the control panel for less than two seconds. • : The blue light blinks slowly on wireless LED. The machine starts connecting to the wireless network. The LED blinks slowly for up to two minutes until you press the PBC button on access point (or wireless router).

Press the WPS (PBC) button on the access point (

or wireless router). • : The blue light blinks fast on the wireless LED. The machine is connecting to the access point (or wireless router). • : When the machine is successfully connected to the wireless network, the blue wireless LED light stays on. • The resulting report is automatically printed out. If your machine fails to connect to the wireless network, the wireless LED is off, and the error report is automatically printed out. Try again to connect to the wireless network after solving the connection problem. Re-connecting to the wireless network When the wireless function is off, the machine automatically tries to re-connect to the access point (or wireless router) with the previously used wireless connection settings and address. In the following cases, the machine automatically re-connects to the wireless network: • The machine is turned off and on again. • The WLAN is turned off and on again. • The access point (or wireless router) is turned off and on again. • If there is no previously used access point (or wireless router), or the network settings have been changed. Canceling a wireless network connection process in PBC mode To cancel the wireless network connection function when the machine is connecting to the wireless network in PBC mode, press WPS button on the control panel again. The wireless LED is off. The Wait 2 minutes for Reconnecting message is to be automatically printed out. Disconnecting a wireless network connection process in PBC mode To disconnect the wireless network connection, press WPS button on the control panel again. • When the access point (Wi-Fi Network) is in idle mode: The wireless network connection is automatically disconnected. The wireless LED is off. • When the access point (Wi-Fi Network) is being used: The machine waits until the current job is finished. Then, the wireless network connection is automatically disconnected. The wireless LED is off. The machine is returned to ready mode.

Using A Wireless Network From The

Computer

Choosing your network connection Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the machine at a time. There are types of network connections to consider. • Wireless network without access point (Ad-Hoc mode) • Wireless network with an access point (Infrastructure mode) How to print a network configuration report You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network configuration report. To print the report:

In ready mode, press and hold

Stop/Clear button on the control panel for long enough (about four seconds) until the Status LED blinks fast.

Then, release the button.

Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC address and IP address. For example: • MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78 • IP Address:192.0.0.192 IP addresses Every device in a network has a unique numerical address called an IP Address. Your machine came with a Default IP address of 192.0.0.192, which you can verify by printing out a Network Configuration Report or Configuration Report. • DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report. • Static IP assignment: Use the SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer (See "Setting IP address" on page 36). In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you. Wireless network name and network key Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Key are created for the network. Locate this information before proceeding with the machine installation. Infrastructure mode This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs. This mode uses an access point to communicate with the wireless machine. • See "Installing the machine on a wireless network with an access point (Windows)" on page 42. • See "Installing the machine on a wireless network with an access point (Macintosh)" on page 45. Ad-Hoc mode This mode does not use an access point. The wireless computer and wireless machine communicates directly. • See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc wireless network (Windows)" on page 44. • See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc wireless network (Macintosh)" on page 46. After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your computer operating system, but first locate the software CD supplied with the machine before proceeding. Installing a wireless network with cables You can install a wireless network to connect to the machine with either a USB cable or a network cable. For most users, we recommend using a USB cable with the program provided in the supplied software CD. The following are two ways to install a wireless network with cables. • With a USB cable: You can simply set up a wireless network using the program in the supplied software CD. Only Windows and Macintosh operating system are supported (See "Setting a wireless network with USB cable" on page 42). You can also install a wireless network in Printer Settings Utility with USB cable after installing driver.

Media and tray_ 53 6.media and tray This chapter provides information on how to load print media into your machine. This chapter includes: • Loading originals • Selecting print media • Changing the tray size • Loading paper in the tray • Printing on special media • Using the output support

Loading Originals

You can use the scanner glass to load an original for copying or scanning. On the scanner glass Using the scanner glass, you can copy or scan originals. You can get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images.

Lift and open the scanner lid.

Place the original face down on the scanner glass. Align it with the

registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.

Close the scanner lid.

• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality and toner consumption. • Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout. Always keep it clean (See "Cleaning the scan unit" on page 80). • If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the scanner lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, start copying with the scanner lid open. • Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You may get hurt. • Do not put hands while closing the scanner lid. The scanner lid may fall on your hands and get hurt. • Do not look the light from inside of the scanner while copying or scanning. It is harmful to eyes.

Selecting Print Media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meets the guidelines for use with your machine and from the appropriate tray. Guidelines for selecting the print media Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems: • Poor print quality • Increased paper jams • Premature wear on the machine. • Permanent fuser damage, not covered under warranty. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following: • The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are described in print media specifications (See "Print media specifications" on page 97). • Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project. • Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images. • Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper. • Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the sheets characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which cannot be controlled. • Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the specifications in this user’s guide and that it meets your output requirements. Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the

(Ɣ: supported, Blank: Not supported) The following media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. This paper type option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the tray. Selecting the appropriate media will let you get the best printout quality. Selecting inappropriate media can result in poor print quality. • Plain: Normal plain paper. Select this type if your printing on 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 32 lbs bond). • Thick: 90 to 163 g/m2 (24 to 43 lbs bond) thick paper. • Thin: 60 to 70 g/m2 (16 to 19 lbs bond) thin paper. • Cotton: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) cotton paper. • Color: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) color-back grounded paper. • Preprinted: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) preprinted/letterhead paper. • Recycled: 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lbs bond) recycled paper. When you use recycled paper, printouts might be wrinkled and/or jamming may occur due to excessive curl. • CardStock: 105 to 163 g/m2 (28 to 43 lbs bond) cardstock. • Envelope: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) envelope. • Transparency: 138 to 146 g/m2 (37 to 39 lbs bond) transparency paper. • Labels: 120 to 150 g/m2 (32 to 40 lbs bond) labels. • Bond: 105 to 120 g/m2 (28 to 32 lbs bond) bond. • Archive: 70 to 90 g/m2 (19 to 24 lbs bond) If you need to keep the print-out for a long time, such as for archives. Envelopes Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. To print on an envelope, the stamp area should be on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area should enter the printer first in the center of the tray. • When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed

90 g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur.

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less

than 6 mm ( 0.24 inch.) of curl, and should not contain air.

Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either

damaged.

Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and

pressure of the machine during operation. • Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds. • Do not use stamped envelopes. • Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials. • Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes. • Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. 1 Acceptable 2 Unacceptable • Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser. • For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm ( 0.59 inch.) from the edges of the envelope. • Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Page 57

Media and tray_ 57 Transparencies To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser printers. • Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand machine’s fusing temperature. • Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine. • Do not leave unused transparencies on the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing. • To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies carefully. • To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight. • Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges. • Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet. • To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out. Labels To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser machines. • When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your

machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C (338 °F)).

Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between

them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm

(0.51 inch.) of curl in any direction.

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other

indications of separation. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components. • Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine. • Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged. Card stock/Custom-sized paper Postcards, cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this machine. • Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 183 mm (7.20 inches) long. • In software applications, set the margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material. Letterhead/Preprinted paper

Single-Sided

Double-Sided

Face up Face down • Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1 second. • Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers. • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage. • Before you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 93). If white vertical streaks appear on the page: • The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty (See "Cleaning the inside" on page 79). Black background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable: • Change to a lighter weight paper (See "Print media specifications" on page 97). • Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading. • Remove the old toner cartridge and, install a new one (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 93). Toner smear If toner smears on the page: • Clean the inside of the machine (See "Cleaning the inside" on page 79). • Check the paper type and quality (See "Print media specifications" on page 97). • Remove the toner cartridge and then, install a new one (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 93). Vertical repetitive defects If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals: • The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install a new one (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 93). • Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages. • The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.

Condition

A

Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a fresh ream of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture. • If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems. • If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print quality through your software application or in Printing Preferences (See "Opening printing preferences" on page 60). Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper (See "Print media specifications" on page 97). Page skew A a B b C A a B b C A a B b C A a B b C A a B b C c • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. • Check the paper type and quality (See "Print media specifications" on page 97). • Ensure that the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack. Curl or wave • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. • Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl (See "Print media specifications" on page 97). • Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Contact a service representative. Character Voids

A

Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black: • If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of transparencies, some character voids are normal. • You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it over. • The paper may not meet paper specifications (See "Print media specifications" on page 97).

• If the defects are on the original, use Darkness in Copy feature to lighten the background of your copies (See "Changing the settings for each copy" on page 67). • If there are no defects on the original, clean the scan unit (See "Cleaning the scan unit" on page 80). Copy image is skewed. • Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass. • Check that the copy paper is loaded correctly. Blank copies print out. Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass. Image rubs off the copy easily. • Replace the paper in the tray with paper from a new package. • In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in the machine for extended periods of time. Frequent copy paper jams occur. • Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the tray. Replace the paper in the tray with a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if necessary. • Ensure that the paper is the proper paper weight. • Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper remaining in the machine after a paper jam has been cleared. Toner cartridge produces fewer copies than expected before running out of toner. • Your originals may contain pictures, solids, or heavy lines. For example, your originals may be forms, newsletters, books, or other documents that use more toner. • The scanner lid may be left open while copies are being made. • Turn the machine off and back on. Scanning problems Horizontal stripes A a B b C A a B b C A a B b C A a B b C A a B b C If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear: • The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective.

Curl If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into the machine: • Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. • Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click Paper tab, and set type to Thin (See "Opening printing preferences" on page 60). An unknown image repetitively appears on a few sheets or loose toner, light print, or contamination occurs. Your machine is probably being used at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,281 ft.) or above. The high altitude may affect the print quality such as loose toner or light imaging. You can select a correct altitude of your machine location (See "Altitude adjustment" on page 51).

Os X 10.3.2.

Update your Mac OS to Mac OS X 10.3.3. or higher. Some letters are not displayed normally during the Cover page printing. Mac OS cannot create the font during the Cover page printing. The English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the Cover page. When printing a document in Macintosh with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly. Make sure that the resolution setting in your machine driver matches the one in Acrobat Reader. Refer to the Macintosh User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Macintosh error messages. I cannot scan via Gimp Front-end. Check if Gimp Front-end has Xsane: Device dialog on the Acquire menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For the detailed information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application. If you wish to use another kind of scan application, refer to application’s Help. I encounter the “Cannot open port device file” error when printing a document. Avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting Release port in Port configuration window. The machine does not appear on the scanners list. • Ensure your machine is attached to your computer, connected properly via the USB port, and is turned on. • Ensure the scanner driver for your machine is installed in your system. Open Unified Linux Driver configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window. • Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional components of machine (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different user applications to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other user will encounter “device busy” response. This usually happens when starting a scan procedure. An appropriate message box appears. To identify the source of the problem, open the Ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner, port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1, and so on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane, you can see if the port is occupied by another application. If this is the case, you should either wait for completion of the current job or press the Release port button, if you are sure that the present port application is not functioning properly.
