Print Media Guidelines 15 Print media can be paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the print media in standard 150 sheet tray. Paper For the best print quality in color, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper.
PAGE 163
Selecting Paper Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing. To help avoid jams or poor print quality: • Always use new, dry, and undamaged paper. • Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on the paper package. • Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself. • Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam.
PAGE 164
Loading Letterhead Load the letterhead in the printer with the print side facing up. Ensure that the title on the letterhead enters the printer first. Selecting Pre-punched Paper Pre-punched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques. However, it may not be possible to print on the paper to depending on the placement of holes on the paper.
PAGE 165
• To load envelope in standard 150 sheet tray, the print side must be facing up. • See "Loading Envelopes" on page 171 for instructions on loading an envelope. • Use one envelope size during a print job. • Ensure that the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
PAGE 166
Storing Print Media For proper print media storage, the following guidelines help avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality. • For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. • Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

2 Open the dust cover, and adjust the paper guides. NOTE: When loading legal size or user-specified print media, slide the extendable part of the tray while pinching the lever. 3 Before loading the print media, flex the sheets and fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. 4 Load the print media into the tray with the recommended print side facing up. NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum fill line in the tray. Overfilling the tray may cause paper jams.
PAGE 170
5 Align the width guides and length guide against the edges of the print media. 6 After confirming that the guides are adjusted and secured, close the dust cover and insert the tray into the printer.

PAGE 171
Loading Envelopes NOTE: When you print on envelopes, be sure to specify the envelope setting on the printer driver. If not specified, the print image will be rotated 180 degrees. NOTE: If you do not load envelopes in the standard 150 sheet tray right after they have been removed from the packaging, they may bulge. To avoid jams, flatten the envelops before loading. And then, firmly press down on the entire surface of the envelops as shown below. NOTE: You can load up to 5 envelopes at a time.
PAGE 172
To prevent DL and Monarch from being wrinkled, they are recommended to be loaded with the flaps opened. Place the print side facing up, and the flaps come at the bottom when you face towards the printer. When Loading C5 Load envelopes with the flaps opened. Place the print side facing up, and the flaps come at the bottom when you face towards the printer. CAUTION: Never use envelopes with windows, or coated linings. These lead to paper jams and can cause damage to the printer.
PAGE 173
NOTE: If envelopes are still not fed correctly, add some bending to the flap of the envelopes as shown in the following illustration. The amount of the bending shall be 5 mm (0.20 inches) or less. NOTE: To confirm the correct orientation of each print media such as envelopes, see the instruction on the Envelope/Paper Setup Navigator on the printer driver. Loading Letterhead Load the letterhead in the printer with the print side facing up. Ensure that the title on the letterhead enters the printer first.
PAGE 174
Loading Print Media When Manual Duplex Printing NOTE: When printing on curled paper, straighten the paper and then load it in the standard 150 sheet tray. NOTE: You can specify the settings required for manual duplex printing on the printer driver. NOTE: PS printer driver does not support manual duplex printing. When you start manual duplex printing, the instruction window appears. Note that the window cannot be reopened once it is closed. Do not close the window until duplex printing is complete.
PAGE 175
Using the Output Tray Extension The output tray extension is designed to prevent print media from falling from the printer after the print job is complete. Before printing a document, ensure that the output tray extension is fully extended. NOTE: When you pull out envelopes or small size print media, lift up the scanner unit.
