3 PAPER HANDLING This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print media and loading print media into your machine.
Selecting Print Media Always use print media that meets the guidelines for use with this machine. Using a print media that is not recommended may cause paper jams or print quality problems. Media Size Input Sources and Capacities Input Source/Capacitya Media Size Paper Tray MultiPurpose Tray Plain paper Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) Folio (8.5 x 13 in.) Legal (8.5 x 14 in.) Executive (7.25 x 10.5 in.
Paper Guidelines When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in mind: • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. • Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Store unused media at temperatures between 59oF and 86oF (15oC to 30oC). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%. • Do not load more than 10 sheets of special media into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200oC (392oF) for 0.1 second. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side facing up. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the right side. 3 For details on loading paper in the Tray, see page 1.17. After loading paper in the Tray, you need to set the correct paper size using the control panel buttons. See page 1.20.
Using the Multi-Purpose Tray Multi-Purpose Tray is located at the right side of your machine. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the machine more compact. Use the Multi-Purpose Tray to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper Tray. Acceptable print media are plain paper with sizes ranging from 98 x 148 mm (3.9 x 5.8 in.) to Legal 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.
To load print media in the Multi-Purpose Tray: 1 Lower the Multi-Purpose Tray, located on the right side of the machine. Unfold the paper support extension as shown. Paper support Multi-Purpose Tray 2 Prepare a stack of paper or envelopes for loading by flexing or fanning them back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. For transparencies, hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side.
4 Adjust the paper guide to the width of the stack of print material. Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The stack should be under the Max. fill line. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far. Max. fill line NOTES: When printing on previously used paper via the Multi-Purpose Tray, the printed side should be facing up with the uncurled edge at the left side. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. 3.
Setting the Paper Size for Copying After loading paper in the paper Tray or the Multi-Purpose Tray, you need to set the correct paper size using the control panel buttons.
