Chapter 2 Handling and using special paper The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Loading paper Envelopes 2 The machine is designed to work well with most envelopes. However, some envelopes may have feed and print quality problems because of the way they have been made. Envelopes should have edges with straight, well-creased folds. Envelopes should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. Use only quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.
Chapter 2 Labels The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels.

Printing difficulties Difficulties Suggestions No printout.
Printing difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The headers or footers appear when the document displays on the screen but they are not on the printed page. There is an unprintable area on the top and bottom of the page. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this (see Unscannable and unprintable areas on page 26). The machine prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage. Press to cancel print jobs.
Troubleshooting Copying difficulties Difficulties Suggestions Cannot make a copy. Make sure you pressed Copy and the machine is in Copy mode (see How to copy on page 35). Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings. Vertical black line appears in copies. Black vertical lines on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the scanner glass, or the corona wires are dirty.
Network difficulties Difficulties Suggestions Cannot print and scan over a network after completing the software installation. When the Cannot print to the networked printer. screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions. The network scanning feature does not work. (Windows® and Macintosh) If the problem is not solved, see Network User’s Guide:Troubleshooting. The network scanning feature may not work due to the firewall settings. Change or disable the firewall settings.
Troubleshooting Other difficulties Difficulties Suggestions The machine will not turn on. Adverse conditions on the power connection (such as lightning or a power surge) may have triggered the machine’s internal safety mechanisms. Press and hold down to turn off the machine and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord and press to turn on the machine. If the problem is not solved and you are using a power breaker, disconnect it to make sure it is not the problem.
Improving the print quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first ( B , All Settings, Printer, Print Options, Test Print). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections and try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first.
