Operating Your Printer

Turning the Printer On

1. Press the main power switch. The printer will perform a series of diag-

nostic tests and then begin the warm-up cycle. This process may take 

up to 4 minutes.

2. Once the printer has completed the warm-up cycle, make sure the 

printer display reads “Ready.” 

Note:  

If the MESSAGE lamp is lit, a printer error has occurred. Check 

the display for an error message, and take the appropriate action.

Turning the Printer Off

1. Ensure that the printer is not printing a job or warming up.

2. Press the power switch.

Note:  

When restarting the printer, wait at least five seconds after turning 

off the printer before turning it on again.

Selecting Media 

Loading your printer with the correct media is important in keeping your 

printer running well. Because some types of paper may shorten the life 

span of the printer components or quickly exhaust toner supplies, you 

should use paper of the correct type, weight and size. Following the 

guidelines for filling the paper trays listed below will maximize the 

performance of your printer and the quality of your print jobs. 

When loading transparencies, labels or envelopes, you must use Tray 1.
