Chapter 2 Handling and using special paper The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Loading paper Envelopes 2 Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and printquality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.
Chapter 2 Labels The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, if this happens the label stock may stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels.

Troubleshooting Printing difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The machine prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing. Check the settings in your application to make sure that it is set up to work with your machine. Your computer is not recognising the machine’s input buffer’s full signal. Make sure that you have connected the interface cable correctly.
Paper handling difficulties Difficulties Suggestions The machine does not feed paper. If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see Error and maintenance messages uu page 71. If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray. If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper tray.
Troubleshooting Copying difficulties Difficulties Suggestions Cannot make a copy. Make sure that you pressed Copy and the machine is in Copy mode. See How to copy uu page 33. Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings. Vertical black line appears in copies. Black vertical lines on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the scanner glass, or the corona wire is dirty.
Network difficulties Difficulties Suggestions Cannot print over a wired Network. Make sure your machine is powered on, is online and in the Ready mode. Print the Network Configuration Report to see your current Network settings. uu Advanced User's Guide: Reports Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the cable and network connections are good. If possible, try connecting the machine to a different port on your hub using a different cable.
Troubleshooting Other difficulties Difficulties Suggestions The machine will not turn on. Adverse conditions on the power connection (such as lightning or a power surge) may have triggered the machine’s internal safety mechanisms. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord and turn the machine on. If the problem is not solved and you are using a power breaker, disconnect it to make sure it is not the problem.
Improving the print quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, Printer, Print Options, Test Print). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections and try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.
