3 PAPER HANDLING This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print materials and loading them into your machine.
Selecting Print Materials You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and etc.. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page D.6. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper. When you choose print materials, consider the following: • Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for your project.
Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special material, keep these guidelines in mind: • Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page D.6. • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. • Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print quality.
- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing. - To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully. - To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight. • For labels: - Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 200 oC (392 o F) for 0.1 second. - Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between them.
The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered. 3 Paper full Paper empty To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down. You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray.
In the Multipurpose Tray The Multipurpose tray can hold several sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper. You can load approximately 50 sheets of plain paper, 5 envelopes, 5 transparencies, 5 sheets of card stock, or 5 labels at a time. To load print material in the Multipurpose tray: 1 Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.
3 Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up. 3 For envelopes, load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. NOTES: • If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of envelopes in the Multipurpose tray. • If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multipurpose tray, the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge toward the machine. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around.
6 If you want the machine to stack the printed pages on the rear output slot, open the rear door to use the rear output slot.
