3 Type and Capacities Using Print Materials Paper Type This chapter describes the types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the tray for the best print quality.
If you want to print on previously printed paper, the printed side should be facing up with the uncurled edge toward the printer. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around. Verifying the Output Location The printer has the output tray that collects paper face-down, in correct order. Using Manual Feed Mode If you select Manual Feed in the Source option, you can manually load paper in the tray.
Printing on Labels Printing on Special Print Materials • Only use labels recommended for your printer. • Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) for 0.1 seconds. Printing on Envelopes • 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 Printing on Preprinted Paper • Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine. • Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example). • Do not leave them in the tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.
Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Materials • Postcards, 3in by 5in (index) cards, and other custom-sized materials can be printed with your printer. The minimum size is 3in by 5in (76mm by 127mm) and the maximum size is 8.5in by 14in (216mm by 356mm). • Always insert the short edge into the tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection using your software. Inserting these materials long edge first may cause a paper jam.
4 Basic Printing Printing a Document This printer allows you to print from various Windows applications, a Macintosh computer, or a Linux system. The exact steps for printing a document may vary depending on the application you use. This chapter explains common printing tasks. • Printing a Document • Canceling a Print Job For details about printing, see the Software Section.
5 Maintaining Your Printer Replacing Supplies This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the toner cartridges. From time to time, you need to replace the following items to maintain top performance and to avoid print quality problems resulting from worn parts. This chapter includes: The following items should be replaced after you have printed the specified number of pages or when the life span of each item has expired.
To redistribute the toner: Managing Toner Cartridges 1 Open the front cover. 2 Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out to remove from the printer. 3 Holding the toner cartridge, shake thoroughly it from side to side to redistribute the toner. Toner Cartridge Storage To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until you are ready to use them. • Do not refill toner cartridges.
4 Grasp the toner cartridge and align it with the corresponding slot inside the printer. Insert it back into its slot until it clicks into place. 2 Open the front cover. 3 Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out to remove from the printer. 4 Take a new toner cartridge out of its package. 5 Holding the toner cartridge, shake thoroughly it from side to side to distribute the toner. NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water.
6 Remove the cartridge cap. Replacing the Imaging Unit The life of the imaging unit is approximately 20,000 pages for black or 12,500 pages for color. When the life span of the imaging unit has expired, the Smart Panel program window appears on the computer, indicating the imaging unit needs to be replaced. Otherwise your printer stops printing.
