Print Media Guidelines Print media is paper, transparencies, labels, envelopes, 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 how to select print media, how to care for print media, and how to load the print media in the optional 250sheet tray module or 500-sheet tray module.
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original packaging until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance. Grain Direction Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
Selecting Paper Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing. To help avoid jams or poor print quality: Always use new, 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.
laser printers. Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the print media sources. Print media source Print side Page orientation Optional 250-sheet tray module or 500-sheet tray module Face up Back of tray Multipurpose feeder Logo enters the printer first Face up Selecting Pre-punched Paper Pre-punched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques.
When printing on transparencies: Set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver to avoid damaging your printer. Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Do not use regular transparencies. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions. Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. This may result in poor print quality.
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the envelope supplier. Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl. Do not place anything on top of the print media packages. Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications The following tables provide information on standard and optional print media sources.

Loading Envelopes To load envelopes that are under 8.66 inches (220 mm) in width, insert the envelopes with the flaps open and toward the front of the printer, with the recommended print side face up.
Load only one size and type of print media during a single print job. To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed for use in laser printers. For more guidelines on print media, see "Print Media Guidelines." Do not add or remove print media when there is still print media in the multipurpose feeder or when the printer is printing from the multipurpose feeder. This may result in a paper jam.

Understanding Fonts Typefaces and fonts Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts Resident Fonts Symbol Sets Typefaces and fonts A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read. The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 6. See "Resident Fonts" for a listing of all resident fonts.
In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width. Since proportional fonts have characters with different widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size refers to the height of the characters in the font. A point is defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a font printed at 24 point will be twice as large as the characters in the same font printed at 12 point.
Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact the place where you bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts. Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in printer memory.
