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 and the leading edge should not be thicker than two sheets of paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction.
Chapter 2 Labels 2 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, because 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.

The LCD shows No Paper or a Paper Jam message. 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. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Network difficulties Difficulties Suggestions Cannot print over a wired Network. If you are having Network problems see the Network User's Guide for more information. Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in the Ready mode. Print the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings. (See Reports in Chapter 1 of the Advanced User's Guide.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the cable and network connections are good.
Troubleshooting Improving the print quality B If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 3, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first.
