Serial Number
The serial number is important information to have when acquiring email, telephone, or repair centre support. The location of the serial number is the back side of a copier or the outside of the box used for packaging. Labels with serial numbers should not be removed. It is a good idea to write down the serial number and place it somewhere for safe keeping.
Paper Handling
Paper handling gives user the most trouble when using any copier. Be sure the paper size being put into the copier is supported by the machine. Copiers accept a wide range of sizes. The paper type used must also be supported by the copier. Plain paper, heavy paper, rough paper, transparencies, labels, and envelopes can all be fed into the copier. The paper capacity may be different for each type.
Paper jams can be avoided by not using paper that is wrinkled, creased, curled, or rolled. Torn or damp paper should not be used. Very thin paper or, paper from a thermal transfer printer, is not good for a copier. Glossy paper, very smooth paper, and highly textured paper do not print very well.
Oil stains, lint, and dust should not be on the paper. Paper should be kept in the original package and stored in a place that is cool and dry until ready for use. The storage surface should be flat.
Replacing Toner Cartridge Precautions
Illustrations for using the copier and replacing the toner cartridge are very useful when performing these tasks. There are some tips for replacing the toner cartridge that should be heeded. Evenly distribute the toner inside the cartridge by shaking approximately six times gently. Use caution when lifting the scanning platform to insert the cartridge and when setting the cartridge in the machine. Forcefully trying to perform these functions can cause damage to the machine.
Used toner cartridges should not be disposed of with the use of open flame. The remaining toner can ignite and cause burns or more fire. Toner on hands or clothing should be washed immediately with cold water. Using warm water causes the toner to set and is hard to remove when it does.
