Back to Contents Page Print Media Guidelines Paper Transparencies Envelopes Labels Storing Print Media Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications Print media is 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.
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. For 60 to 135 g/m 2 (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended.
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. Do not remove the tray while a job is printing. Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray. Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer: Use grain long paper for best results.
Selecting Pre-Punched Paper When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer: Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper. Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam. Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper.
Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers. Set the print media source to the MPF. Set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct size of envelope from the printer driver. For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m 2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m 2 (28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m 2 (24 lb bond) weight.
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label. Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. It is recommended that zone coating of the adhesive is at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty. If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.

Before loading print media, identify the recommended print side of the print media. This information is usually on the print media package.
2. Slide the width guides to the edge of the tray. The width guides should be fully extended. NOTE: For Letter paper, push the lever to the 8.5" position. 3. Slide the tray to the size of the paper to be loaded by using the length guide. NOTE: When loading user-specified print media, fully extend the tray by squeezing the length guide at the back of the tray. 4. Before loading the print media, flex the sheets back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. 5.
6. Adjust the width guides until they rest lightly against the edges of the stack of paper. NOTE: When loading user-specified print media, adjust the width guides and slide the extendable part of the tray by squeezing the length guide and sliding it until it rests lightly against the edge of the stack of paper. 7. Insert the tray into the printer, and push until it stops. 8. Select the paper type from the operator panel if any print media other than plain print media is loaded.
Width - 76.2 mm (3.00 inches) to 220 mm (8.66 inches) Length - 127 mm (5.00 inches) to 355.6 mm (14.00 inches) Loading the MPF In addition to plain paper, the MPF can be used various other sizes and types of print media such as envelopes, and transparencies. 1. Gently pull open the MPF cover. 2. Slide the width guides to the edge of the tray. The width guides should be fully extended. 3. Insert all media facing down and top edge first into the MPF.
5. Ensure the type setting for the MPF is set to the correct value for the print media you have loaded. 6. Select print media source, size, and type in your software program and select the print media size and type on the printer operator panel. Loading an Envelope To load envelopes in the MPF, insert the envelopes with the flaps closed and the short-edge of the envelopes facing into the printer. Orient the print side facing down and slide the envelope into the entry slot.
NOTICE: Never use envelopes with windows, coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. These lead to paper jams and can cause damage to the printer. NOTE: Ensure that you load an envelope with the flap completely closed. NOTE: If you do not load envelopes in the MPF right after they have been removed from the packaging, they may bulge. To avoid jams, flatten them as shown below when loading them in the MPF. Using the MPF Load only one size and type of print media during a single print job.
After loading the selected trays with the same size and type of print media, select the Paper Type setting in the Tray Settings component for each source (tray). To disable tray linking change the Paper type in one of the sources (trays) to a unique value. NOTE: If different types of print media of the same size are loaded in each tray, the printer will automatically link them if the paper type is not specified in the printer driver properties/preferences.
Using the Center Output Tray The center output tray holds up to: 250 sheets (20 lb (75 g/m 2 )) of plain paper 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 the output tray extension is fully extended.

Back to Contents Page 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 5/PCL 6 and PostScript 3. 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.
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer. Resident Fonts Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in print memory. Different fonts are available in PCL 5/PCL 6 and PostScript 3. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and TimesNew (PCL 5/PCL 6)/Times New Roman (PostScript 3), are available for all printer languages.

Back to Contents Page Printing With UX Filter (UNIX) Overview Installing the UX Filter Uninstalling the UX Filter Printing and Using the Utilities Precautions and Limitations Overview The UX Filter This section describes the features of the UX filter and its operating environment. Features The UX filter is an utility software which converts files created by the UNIX workstation into a format which conforms to the PostScript language loaded in the printer.
Before Using UX Filter Check the following items before using the UX filter. Before setting up the workstation, set up the printer as follows. 1. Make sure the lpd port is working or not when using the network environment. If the lpd port is not working, set LPD to On on the operator panel. (Mandatory) See "Protocol" for more information. When a parallel or USB port is to be used, make sure these are working. (Mandatory) 2.
