Media Types Before purchasing a large quantity of special media, do a trial print with the same media and check the print quality. Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Plain Paper Capacity Tray 1 Up to 200 sheets, depending on the paper weight Up to 500 sheets, depending on the paper weight Tray 2 Orientation Driver Media Type Weight Duplexing Face up Plain paper 60 to 90 g/m² (16 to 24 lb bond) Only Letter/A4 plain paper can be autoduplexed.
" Dusty " Wet (or damp) Note Keep media between 15% and 85% relative humidity. Toner does not adhere well to moist or wet paper.
Labels CAUTION Labels may stick to the fuser, causing them to peel off and media misfeeds to occur. A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and a carrier sheet: " The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification. " The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhesive should come through on the surface. You can print continuously with label sheets.
DO NOT use label sheets that " Have labels that easily peel off or have parts of the label already removed " Have backing sheets that have peeled away or have exposed adhesive " Are precut or perforated Letterhead Stationery Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.
" Coated " Designed for inkjet printers " Precut or perforated " Preprinted or multicolored Note If the postcard is warped, press on the warped area before putting it in Tray 1.
Printable Area The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4.2 mm (0.165") from the edges of the media. a=4.0 mm (0.157") Each media size has a specific printable area (the maximum area on which the machine can print clearly and without distortion). This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the machine) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer).
Loading Media 1 2 OPen the ream of paper and take off the top and bottom sheets. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray. Important! Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper.
Loading Plain Paper 1 Remove the dust cover from Tray 1. 2 Slide the media guides to provide more space between them. 3 Load the paper face up in the tray.
Note Do not load paper above the mark. Up to 200 sheets (80 g/m2 [21 lb]) of plain paper can be loaded into the tray at one time. 4 Slide the media guides against the edges of the paper. 5 Reattach the dust cover.
Other Media When loading media other than plain paper, set the media mode (for example, Label, or Thick Stock) in the driver for optimum print quality. Loading Labels/Postcard/Thick Stock and Letterhead 1 Remove the dust cover from Tray 1. 2 Remove any media from the tray. 3 Slide the media guides to provide more space between them.
4 Load the media face up in the tray. Note Up to 50 sheets can be loaded into the tray at one time. 5 Slide the media guides against the edges of the media. 6 Reattach the dust cover.
Tray 2 Only Letter or A4 plain paper can be loaded in Tray 2. Loading Plain Paper 1 Pull out Tray 2 as far as possible. 2 Lift up Tray 2 to remove it. 3 Remove the lid from Tray 2.
4 Press down the media pressure plate to lock it into place. 5 Load the paper face up in the tray. Note Do not load above the 100% line. Up to 500 sheets (80 g/m2 [21 lb]) of plain paper can be loaded into the tray at one time.
6 Reattach the lid to Tray 2. 7 Reinsert Tray 2 into the printer.
Duplexing Select paper with high opacity for duplex (double sided) printing. Opacity refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
In addition, if “N-up” has been set to “Booklet”, autoduplex printing is performed. The following Order settings are available when “Booklet” is selected. If “Left Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a left-bound booklet. 2 1 1 If “Right Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a right-bound booklet. 1 2 3 3 3 1 2 3 1 Load plain paper into the tray. From the printer driver, specify the layout for duplex printing. Click OK.
Output Tray All printed media is output to the face-down output tray on top of the printer. This tray has a capacity of approximately 100 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m2 (21 lb) paper. Note If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your printer may experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.
Media Storage " Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding. " If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface. " Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above 35°C [95°F]), and dust.
