Paper Handling Print Media Guidelines Storing Print Media Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications Selecting an Output Location Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder) Setting the Paper Size Setting the Paper Type Setting the Paper Tray Tray Behavior 79
Print Media Guidelines Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps you to avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to help you make print media selections, how to care for the print media, and how to load it in the tray 1, optional tray 2, or MPF.
Moisture Content The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance. Grain Direction Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain, running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper.
• Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19 309 • Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) • Multiple-part forms or documents Selecting Paper Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing. To help avoid jams or poor print quality: • Always use new, undamaged paper. • Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This information is usually indicated on the paper package.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
Print Media Source MPF Top of Page Print Side Portrait Landscape Face up Logo enters the printer first Left side of tray Selecting Prepunched Paper Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques. Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper: • Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.
Selecting Transparencies The printer can print directly on transparencies which have been designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depends on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 180° C (356° F).
See "Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for instructions on loading an envelope. NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to open and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially helpful for DL and C5 size envelopes. • A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes. Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers.
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity: • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties. • Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Storing Print Media Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality: 88 • For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21° C (70° F) and the relative humidity is 40%. • Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications The following tables provide information on standard and optional sources, including the print media sizes that you can select from the paper size menu and supported weights. NOTE: If you use a print media size not listed, select the next larger size.

Thickness: 0.1 to 0.
Selecting an Output Location The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up). Rear Door Output Tray To use the output tray, ensure that the rear door is closed. To use the rear door, open it. NOTE: If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear door. NOTE: To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the printer is printing.
Printing to the Output Tray (Face down) The output tray collects printed paper face-down, in the correct order. The tray should be used for most print jobs. If necessary, expand the paper output extension to keep the print media from falling off the output tray. Printing to the Rear Door (Face up) Using the rear door, the paper comes out of the printer face up. Printing from the MPF to the rear door provides a straight paper path. Using the rear door might improve the output quality with special materials.
CAUTION: The fuser area inside of the rear door of your printer becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area.
Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray You can load approximately 250 sheets of plain paper in the tray 1 or the optional tray 2. If you purchased the optional tray 2, see "Installing an Optional Tray 2" for installing instructions. For faxing, you can use A4, letter or legal paper only. For copying or printing, you can use many different types and sizes of paper; see "Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications". Follow these instructions to load print media into the tray 1 or optional tray 2.
Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder) Use the MPF to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray. Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in. (index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer. The minimum size is 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) and the maximum size is 8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm). Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging from 3.0 by 5.0 in.
3 Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up. Depending on the paper type you are using, keep the following loading method: 98 • Envelopes: load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. • Transparencies: load them with the print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first. • Labels: load them with the print size up and the top short edge entering the printer first.
4 Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the print material. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew. 5 After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the MPF. See "Setting the Paper Type" for copying and faxing or "Paper Tab" for Computer printing. NOTE: The settings made from the printer driver override the settings on the operator panel. CAUTION: Ensure that the rear door opens when you print on transparencies.
Setting the Paper Size After loading paper in the paper tray, you need to set the paper size from the operator panel. This setting will apply to Fax and Copy modes. For Computer printing, you need to select the paper type in the application program you use. 1 Press Setup Machine Setup from the main screen. 2 Press the Next ( 3 Press the up/down arrows to select Paper Setup. 4 Press the up/down arrows to select the paper tray you want to use.
