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 250-sheet tray module or 500-sheet tray module.
printing and cause feeding problems. Smoothness The degree of paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality. Moisture Content The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly.
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on these forms.
When curl is excessive, with plain paper, turn it over and reset it. Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead When selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer: Use long grain paper for best results. Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. Select papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed. Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces. Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers.
Print media source Print side Page orientation Optional 250-sheet tray module or 500sheet tray module Face up Back of tray Multipurpose feeder Face up 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. To select and use pre-punched paper: Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.
Transparencies Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. 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.
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut. Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties. Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.
