Chapter 2 Handling Paper This chapter explains the following topics: • General Guidelines • Special Paper • Paper Type • How to Load Paper 1. General Guidelines The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. NOTE The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used. 1.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper 1.3 Selecting the Right Paper Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the printer’s requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently. Remember that all paper is not the same.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper Moisture Content Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feedability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics. The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper 2.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels 2. Special Paper This section explains printing on special paper. The page printer can use the following types of special paper. In this case, set the media type according to the table below.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See Paper Grain on page 2-3). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the envelope’s suitability. Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive. Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper 4. How to Load Paper The following explains the produre for loading paper can be loaded into the two paper cassettes and the MP tray. IMPORTANT Fan the paper, then tap it on a level surface. This avoid media jams or skewed printing. Figure 2-6 Figure 2-4 4.1 Loading Paper into the Paper Cassette Figure 2-7 3 Up to about 500 sheets of standard paper (80 g/m2) can be loaded into the each paper cassette.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper IMPORTANT • There is a sticker ( in the illustration) indicating paper capacity attached to the inside of the paper cassette. Do not load paper above this limit. • When loading paper into the paper cassette, make sure that the print side is facing upward. (The print side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.) • Check that the paper guide makes secure contact with the paper. If there is a gap, adjust the position of the paper guide.
Chapter 2 Handling Paper 3 Insert the paper along the guides as far as it will go. 3 Position the envelope against the insert guides with the print side facing upward, and insert it as far as it will go. Figure 2-14 IMPORTANT When loading paper into the MP tray, make sure that the print side is facing upward. (The print side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.) If the leading edge of the paper is curled, straighten it out before loading the paper in the MP tray. 4.

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel 2.2 Using the Menu Selection System This section explains the procedure for using the menu selection system. The menu selection system is activated by the MENU key while the printer is Ready. 2.2.2 Printing Status Page If you want to check the printer’s current status, including memory available and option settings, you can find the information you need on the status page. 2.2.1 Printing the Menu Map The printer prints a full list of menu selections.
Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel NOTE Items and values on the status page may vary depending on the printer’s firmware version. 1 Software Version This information shows the firmware version and date of issue of the printer. 2 Hardware Information This information shows various printer settings, such as the size and type of the paper in the paper cassettes.
Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel Job Storage Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer. Virtual Mailbox Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the hard disk without printing. It enables you to retrieve jobs later from the operator panel. Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share the printer in this mode.
Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel Using Proof-and-Hold When you print multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy so that you can proof it before continuing to print the remaining copies. Since you can proof the printouts before printing the remaining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced. The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job on the hard disk. You can also change the number of copies when resuming printing from the operator panel.
