2.3 Driver Installation and Uninstallation
This driver software helps users install and uninstall the program by means of the
installation and uninstallation wizard.
The program can be installed in two ways:
Install the driver while connecting the printer;
Install the driver before the printer connection, and connect the printer after the
installation.
For users of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: when connecting the equipment for
the first time, the "Find New Hardware Wizard" window will show. Please close this
window. If this window is not closed, the printer may not be detected, resulting in
incomplete installation
There are two methods for installing the driver software for this product: "Install Now" and
"Custom Installation." The specific installation steps are described below:
1) Install Now
a) Running Interface
After running the installation CD, the program will run automatically and display the
following interface:
User identity will be verified before the program starts running. If the user is a
non-administrator, the following pop-up box will show: "Insufficient privileges. Please
install the pantum M5000-M6000 Series MFP with administrator privileges."
2–7
b) Installation Language
It will then show the next interface: Language Selection interface.
c) Installation Settings
Click Next to enter the Installation Settings interface.
Note:
* "Install Now" will install the printer driver software, the scanner driver software, and the
Pantum Push Scan Manager together.
* Install Now uses the default path, that is the "System disk:\Program Files" directory.

3.4 Print Principles
3.4.1 Charging
Using DC high voltage, the steel shaft of the charging roller will evenly charge the surface
of the OPC with a negative 600V charge.
3.4.2 Exposure
When the light conductor is scanned by the laser beam, the irradiated portion meets the
conductive layer of the photosensitive drum. This results in the removal of the electric
charge. Conversely, the non-irradiated surface retains its electric charge, creating a
potential difference image. This is often referred to as the "electrostatic latent image."
3–5
3.4.3 Development
When the toner has been moved through under friction between the Developing Roller
(DR) and Supply Roller (SR), the surface of the Developing Roller will be covered with a
layer of charged toner. After exposure, as the OPC goes through the DR, it will transmit
the developing voltage to the DR. This voltage is greater than that of the exposed portion
of the OPC and less than that of the unexposed portion. Toner will be attracted to the
exposed area of the OPC due to the electrostatic field between the OPC and DR, and a
visible image will form.
When the paper moves through the interlayer between the Transfer Roller (TR) and the
photosensitive drum (OPC), the TR will gain high pressure opposite to the toner charge
polarity. The toner will therefore be affected by the TR's electrical field, transferring toner
to the surface of the paper. After moving through the TR, the back of the paper is
positively charged. This causes the toner, separated by the OPC, to be attracted to the
paper.
3–6
3.4.5 Separation
Paper that has moved through print transfer will be positively charged. When the paper
leaves the paper guide next to the Transfer Roller, the zigzag separator, which should be
negatively charged, ~1-2mm from, and parallel with the paper, starts working. Gravity will
then cause the paper to separate from the OPC.
3.4.6 Fusing
When the paper moves onto the heating roller, the toner is melted at a specific
temperature. The Pressure Rollers (PR) then press the toner into the paper fibers, curing
it to the paper. Note: If the fusing temperature is too high or too low, toner fusing results
will be affected.
3.4.7 Cleaning
As the toner on the surface of the OPC is not completely transferred to the paper, it must
then be cleaned by a blade before the next round of the imaging process.

5.1 Cleaning
Note:
Please use mild detergents.
Do not use strongly corrosive liquids such as thinners or benzene-based liquids for
cleaning, as these will damage the surface of the device.

3. Raise the cover and gently wipe the platen glass with a soft cloth.
5–3
6. Remove the toner cartridge along the guides.
Note:
Please remove metal objects such as watches or bracelets before removing the
cartridge, as they may damage the inside of the machine.
When removing the cartridge, put the cartridge in a protective bag or wrap it in thick
paper to avoid direct light damaging the cartridge.
After removing the cartridge, do not touch the shaded area with your hands.
5–4
7. Wipe the laser scanning unit's dustproof surface gently with a cotton swab or a damp,
lint-free soft cloth.
8. Clean the inside of the printer by using a dry and lint-free cloth to gently wipe the

5.2.2 Replacement of Consumables
When the orange indicator on the printer flashes or the LCD screen shows that the toner
is exhausted (as shown below), this means that the cartridge is almost or completely
empty. To ensure print quality, please replace the cartridge when required.
Note:
The cartridge surface may contain toner. Please remove it carefully to avoid spillage.
Put the empty cartridge on a piece of paper to avoid accidental spillage and
contamination.
After removing the protective cover from the new toner cartridge, load it immediately
into the printer to avoid light damage.
When installing, do not touch the surface of the cartridge to avoid scratching it.
5–7
3. Remove the exhausted cartridge along the guides.
Note:
Please remove metal objects, such as watches or bracelets before removing the
cartridge, as they may damage the inside of the machine.
When removing the cartridge, put the cartridge in a protective bag or wrap it in thick
paper to avoid direct light damaging the cartridge.
After removing the cartridge, do not touch the shaded area with your hands.
4. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging, hold the cartridge handle and shake it
gently (horizontally) 5-6 times so as to evenly distribute the toner inside the cartridge.
5. Remove the cartridge protector (blister cover), insert the cartridge along the guides,
and then push it firmly along the direction of the arrow until you hear a click assuring
you that the cartridge is fully inserted.
5–8
Note:
Please check whether there is a seal before put toner cartridge into the printer, if there is
one, please tear off the seal before installation.

6.1 Pre- maintenance Check
Environment
1. The power voltage must be in the range of 220~240 VAC, depending on the model.
2. Place the equipment on a flat, stable surface.
3. Room temperature is maintained between 10°C and 32.5°C. Relative humidity should
be between 20% and 80%.
4. Do not expose the equipment to dust.
5. Do not expose the equipment to ammonia or other noxious gases.
6. Avoid exposing the equipment to heat or moisture (e.g. near water or a humidifier).
7. Avoid exposing the equipment to direct sunlight.
8. Use the printer in a well-ventilated room.
9. Make sure the printer's air vent is not blocked.
About paper
1. Check whether the paper used is within the specified range. [Printing with paper that
is too thick, too thin, or curled may result in paper jams, feed problems or poor print
quality]
2. Do not use damp or wet paper. [If paper is damp or wet, please replace with dry
paper and check to see if the quality improves]
3. Do not use short-grained paper or acid paper. [If you use short-grained paper or acid
paper, it can cause print quality problems]
Consumables
1. Replace the cartridge when the indicator on the printer control panel flashes yellow,
or the LCD display shows that the toner lever is low.
2. Check that the specified Pantum cartridge is being used. For more information,
please refer to 5.2"Consumables" .
