chapter 4 Print Media This chapter will help you understand what kind of paper you can use with the ML-1650 series printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality.
Choosing Paper and Other Media You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper. When you choose print media, consider the following: • Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project. • Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.
Choosing Paper and Other Media Media Sizes and Capacities Media Size Input Source/Capacity*1 Tray 1 or Optional Tray 2 Multi-Purpose Tray Manual Feed 550 550 550 550 550 550 – 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Envelopes No. 10 (4.12 x 9.5 in.)

A4 (210 x 297 mm) – – 25 25 1 1 Transparency films*2 Letter (8.5 x 11 in.
Choosing Paper and Other Media Paper Guidelines When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in mind: • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. • Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper. • Use only high-quality, copier grade paper. • Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier.
Selecting the Output Tray The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it. • If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray. • To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing.
Selecting the Output Tray To open the rear output tray: 1 Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions as the output tray. 2 Pull the extender to extend the output tray to its full-length position. This will allow the tray to hold longer paper. 3 If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output tray, slide the extender back into place and close the tray. The pages will then stack on the top output tray.
Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps to prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper tray(s) while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray(s) shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator turns red. Paper full ➐ ➐☎ ☎ Paper empty Using Tray 1 or the Optional Tray 2 Tray 1 holds 550 sheets of paper. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.
Loading Paper Using the Multi-Purpose Tray The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact. The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special paper that you do not normally keep in the paper tray.
Loading Paper To load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray: 1 Pull the Multi-Purpose Tray down towards you. 2 Slide the extender to extend the tray to its full-length position to hold longer paper. 3 Prepare a stack of paper for loading by flexing or fanning them back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 4.
Loading Paper 4 Place paper with the print side face up, and against the left edge of the tray. Note: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The stack should be under the stack height limit mark. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep, or push it in too far. Stack height limit mark 5 Slide the paper width guide to the left flush against the stack of print material without bending.
Loading Paper Using the Manual Feed When you change the print settigs, if you select Manual Feed in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.
Loading Paper 3 When you print a document, you must select Manual Feed for Paper Source from the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 5.3. 4 Print the document. 5 The Manual light on the control panel blinks. Press the Demo button on the control panel. Demo The sheet of paper is loaded and printed. 6 After one page is printed, the Manual light on the control panel blinks again.
Printing on Envelopes Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before you load envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not load more than 10 envelopes into the Multi-Purpose Tray. • Do not feed stamped envelopes. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.
Printing on Envelopes 3 Flex or fan the envelopes to supply air through them for loading. 4 Load the envelopes with the flap side down, and against the left edge of the tray. The stamp area is on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the Multi-Purpose Tray first. 5 Adjust the guide to the left edge of the envelope stack. 6 When you print on envelopes, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.3.
Printing on Labels Guidelines • Only use labels recommended for laser printers. • Do not load more than 25 labels into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
Printing on Transparencies Guidelines • Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. • Do not load more than 20 transparencies into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have any torn edge. • Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.
Printing on Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for exsample). Guidelines • Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second.
Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized media can be printed with the ML-1650 series printer. The minimum size is 90 by 148 mm (3.5 by 5.83 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.). Guidelines • Always insert the short-edge into the Multi-Purpose Tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.
