Memo
chapter 4 Printing Read this chapter to learn how to select and load print media and how to use the print settings.
Print Media Selecting Print Media The type of media you select affects the performance and print quality. Selecting Media Types Most photocopy paper, postcards, index cards, transparencies, envelopes, and labels will work your printer, particularly paper that is marked for use in laser printers. For the best results, use one of the papers developed especially for an laser printer. What to Consider • Desired outcome. The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project.
Paper that Might Not Work • Highly textured stock, such as linen, may not print evenly because the toner can bleed. • Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for laser printers can jam the printer and repel toner. • Multi-part forms, such as duplicate or triplicate forms can wrinkle and jam; the toner is also more likely to smear. • Paper in poor condition — with tears, dust, wrinkles, curled or bent edges, or that doesn’t lie flat can jam the printer.
Using the Automatic Paper Input Tray You can stack paper or transparencies in the automatic paper tray to feed automatically. The automatic tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of plain paper. The maximum capacity may be reduced depending on the thickness. For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper (see page 4.14). Note: If you experience feeding problems, try printing one at a time from the manual input tray. See page 4.5. 1.
• For transparencies: - Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. - Fan the stack of transparencies to prevent feeding failures. Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print sides. 3. Load the print material into the paper tray. Load only as much paper as will fit beneath the lip protruding from the paper-length adjuster. Neatly stacking the paper before loading will help prevent print problems. Do not mix types.
4. Slide both paper adjusters to fit against the paper’s edges. Ensure the paper line flat in the tray. Print Side Up Most papers prints better on one side than on the other. This is especially true for coated or specially treated paper. The print side is usually indicated on the paper package. Be sure to insert the paper into the paper tray of the printer with the print side up. Using the Manual Paper Input Tray To load a single envelope, card stock, or specialty paper, use the manual paper input tray.
Notes: • Make sure that you select the Manual for Paper Source and the correct paper size and type from your software application before starting your print job. See page 4.14. • When you use the manual paper tray, the paper must loaded in the automatic paper tray. By doing so, you can prevent the paper jam which might occur in the manual tray. 1. Place the print media in the manual input tray with print side facing up and adjust the paper guides to the width of the print media.
• Load a sheet of the label with the adhesive backing facing away from you. • Load a sheet of the card stock with print side up, short edge first. 2. In your computer, start printing of the document. the display on the front panel displays ‘PC PRINTING...’ and ‘PRESS START.’ 3. Press Start/Enter to start manual feeding. If you have more than one page to print, press Start/Enter for each page. Printing 4.
Specialty Paper Guidelines • Read all instructions that come with special paper for important information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality. • It is recommended to feed one sheet at a time for special paper types. • For transparency film, follow these guidelines: - Let printed sheets of film dry completely before storing.
