Safety Notices

This printer iscertified asa Class I laser product under the lJ.S.Department of Health and Human Services

(DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act

of 1968. This means that the prmter does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiatton emitted Inside the printer iscompletely confined within protective housings and external

covers. the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S.Food and Drug Administration

implemented regulations for laser products on August 2. 1976. These regulations apply to laser products

marketed in the United States. The label on the printer indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations

and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

Caution-use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein

may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Congratulations on purchasing a Star LaserPrinter 4111.You will be de-

lighted with both the quality of the printed images and the ease of operation.

With your computer and this printer, you can create professional-looking

documents.

This Operations Manual is one of two that explore the entire range of printing

possibilities of the Star LaserPrinter 4111.This manual is for beginners and

for those who plan to concentrate on the basics. Advanced users and those

interested in programming should refer to the Applications Manual.

Chapter 2 begins with an overview of the manual and of the Star Laser

printer. This chapter explains how to unpack your new printer and prepare

it for initial operation. Chapter 3 explains how to operate the printer’s control

panel and display screen.

Some people like to skip the preliminary explanations and begin using the

printer immediately. Chapter 4 provides the information for such a fast start.

If you begin with Chapter 4, at some later time you should read the rest of the

manual in sequence, for a more complete picture of your printer and its

operations.

Chapter 5 describes the type characteristics that will enable you to give your

printed pages that professional look.

The Star LaserPrinter 4111emulates the operation of the HP LaserJet III.

With this capability, the Star LaserPrinter will operate with a wide range

of applications programs on the market. Chapter 6 provides the information

that will allow you to use your printer with four popular applications

programs: Lotus l-2-3, WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Win-

dows.

Chapter 7 and 8 describe the maintenance and troubleshooting operations to

keep your Star LaserPrinter 4111working in “perfect” condition.

1.1 LASER PRINTING

Before you begin learning about your new Star LaserPrinter 4111,you may

find it helpful to know something about laser printing itself.

A laser is actually a beam of light of just one wavelength (Laser is an acronym

for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Such a beam

of light, described as “highly coherent”, can be focused very sharply. Lasers,

generated by gases, liquids or semiconductors, are widely used in applica-

tions ranging from surgery to the visual arts.

Laser printing is a process that uses a laser beam - in this case, generated

by a semiconductor- to activate portions of an electrically charged surface.

These activated parts represent the words, numbers, or graphics being sent

from the computer for printing. Other parts of the printer transfer this image

to paper, then clean the surface and prepare it to receive more information to

be printed.

In other words, this process is a type of laser-activated temporary engraving.

In the Star LaserPrinter 4111,two interconnected units produce the complete

printing process: the toner cartridge and the printer body.

The toner cartridge contains the drum, which is the rotating surface. In the

darkness of the toner cartridge, the drum holds a negative charge placed on

it by the primary corona wire in the printer. Shutters on the bottom of the toner

cartridge assure that no unwanted light penetrates its interior.

When text or graphics are sent by the computer to the printer, laser beam is

generated by a semiconductor laser diode. This beam is focused by special

scanning mirrors that turn the light beam into a tool that “writes” or “prints”

on the surface of the drum. The areas of the drum touched by the laser beam

lose their negative charge and contain a reverse image of the information sent

from the computer. As the drum rotates, it passes a developer unit that is also

rotating, but in the opposite direction. The surface of the developer unit is

covered with toner (“ink”) which has a negative charge. The neutralized

portions of the drum, containing the information to be printed, pick up

negatively charges toner from the developer unit.

At this point, paper fed from the paper cassette moves through the transfer

unit, from which it receives a positive charge. As the drum rotates, the

negatively charged particles of toner are attracted to the positively charged

surface of the paper.

A combination of heat and pressure fuse the image to the paper. The paper

is then ejected from the printer.

Finally, a cleaning mechanism in the toner cartridge cleans excess toner from

the drum, and a special light beam neutralizes its entire surface. Then the

entire process can begin again.
