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 standard 500-sheet tray, optional 500-sheet tray module, or 1000-sheet tray module.
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.
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. Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Printing is displayed on the operator panel. Make sure the Paper Type setting is correct. (See "Tray Settings" for detailed information about these settings.
Multipurpose feeder Face down Logo 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. Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream.
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See "Paper Type" for detailed information about this setting.
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. When printing on labels: Set the Paper Type to Label in the Tray Settings. Set the Paper Type on the printer driver.

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 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.
These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes. Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 6 uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript 3 uses Type 1 and TrueType scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in these different font formats from numerous font suppliers.

font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text. In PCL 6, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 36 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6 fonts.
