Handling Paper This printer can print on a wide range of paper sizes, but the size is limited when using paper trays. When using a paper tray, the size is: l Paper size (physical) Dimensions A4 (European letter size) A5 Letter (US letter size) Legal (US legal size) Executive 210 x 297 mm 148 x 210 mm 8.5 x 11 in 8.5 x 14 in 7.25 x 10.5 in l l When using the manual feed slot, the size is: 100 mm wide x 148 mm long (3.94 x 5.81 inches) Minimum: 216 mm wide x 360 mm long (8.5 x 14.
Handling Paper Although this printer can print on any sheet within the limits stated above, printing area and margin calculations are based on several paper sizes as shown in the table below. Use the control panel to change the supported paper size. Paper size (logical) Dimensions A4 A5 Letter Legal Executive Envelope COM-10 Envelope Monarch Envelope C5 Envelope DL Envelope B 5 210 x 297 mm 148 x 210 mm 8.5 x 11 inches 8.5 x 14 inches 7.25 x 10.5 inches 4 l/8 x 9.5 inches 3 7/8 x 7.
Handling Paper Preprinted Sheets In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letterhead. However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing, or foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these effects (heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit. For this reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image. Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper tray.
Handling Paper Envelopes This printer prints well on envelopes if you carefully follow these guidelines: • Use envelopes made of paper in 75 to 105 g/m2 (20 to 28 pound) weight. Printing with envelopes made of paper thinner than this weight may produce wrinkles thus causing decrease in print quality. • Be sure to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that envelopes are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.
Handling Paper Labels This printer prints well on labels if you carefully follow these guidelines: l l l Be careful to use labels under normal operating conditions. Labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity. Use the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when your printer has the duplex unit) so that labels are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl. Use only labels without backing sheets exposed in the printable area.
Handling Paper 2. Change the setting of the paper size indicator. Lift the right end of the indicator and slide it to the desired position, that is, adjust the triangle mark to A4, A5, LTR, or EXE engraved on the tray. 3. Remove the rear paper guide from the tray. Push the two catches inward to release the pins from the holes and remove the rear paper guide from the tray. 4 . Attach the rear paper guide to the correct position.
Handling Paper 5. Ad here the correct paper label. 6. Load paper and check that the paper fits the tray. Adjust the both side guides to the width of paper. 7. Return the paper tray. Slide the tray back into the printer. Notice: Select the correct paper size on the print menu of your application program, or a paper mismatch error will occur. Using the Multi-function Feeder The multifunction feeder is standard for PrintPartner 16ADV but option for PrintPartner 16DV. 1.
Handling Paper 3. Set the physical paper size of the MFF. Use the MFF paper size menu to select the size of paper loaded in the MFF. See the early section in this chapter. You can use the printer with the multi-function feeder removed. This causes no influence on printer operation. To remove the multi-function feeder, follow these steps: Notice: Be sure that the printer is turned off before installing or removing the multi-function feeder. 1.
Handling Paper Feeding Paper Manually This printer allows you to feed sheets manually one by one. Use the manual feed slot to print a document on a different type of paper without unloading your regular paper from the paper tray. You also use manual feed for printing envelopes, overhead transparencies, and labels. The manual feed slot is built in the printer. It is also provided in the multi-function feeder which is standard for the PrintPartner 16ADV but optional for the PrintPartner 16DV.
Handling Paper Using Manual Feed Slot Built in the Printer Follow these steps: 1. Open the front cover. Pull the depression at the top of the cover. (For the PrintPartner 16ADV, remove the multi-function feeder from the printer.) 2. Adjust the paper guides. Position the left and right guides to the width of the sheet. 3. Place the sheet with print side face up. When the printer is ready to print, it displays the message Insert size to prompt you to prepare a sheet of paper.
Handling Paper Setting Up the Rear Stacker This printer has a rear stacker that allows you to eject sheets straight out the back to minimize curl. Use the rear stacker to print envelopes, overhead transparencies, and labels. For the rear stacker of an optional duplex unit, refer to its manual. To use the rear stacker, follow these steps: 1. Open the rear stacker. Pull the projections at the top of the stacker. 2. Remove the paper support from inside the stacker. 3. Set the paper support in position.
Handling Paper Printing on Nonstandard Size Paper and on Envelopes Most of the control over printing on nonstandard size paper must come from your software program. Programs handle page size specifications in many different ways. This section provides tips on feeding and using non standard paper with your Fujitsu printer. Considerations on Paper Size The following considerations apply: l l For envelopes and other nonstandard paper sizes, use the manual feed slot.
Handling Paper Page Orientation Figure 3-4 illustrates the two orientations and shows the relationship between the loaded paper and the resulting printout. This relationship is important if you want to print on letterhead. In portrait orientation, place the letterhead toward you and face down in the paper tray. In landscape orientation, place the letterhead against the right frame of the tray and face down.
Enhancing and Customizing the Printer This chapter explains the following ways to enhance or customize your printer: l Add RAM up to a total of 64 megabytes except the resident RAM. l Add an additional interface to the parallel and serial interfaces. l Add a different size of paper tray. l Add a paper feeder as the second paper source. l Add a duplex unit as the two-sided printing mechanism. For adding a multi-function feeder to the PrintPartner 16DV, see Chapter 1.
Adding RAM You can install two memory expansion cards. The expansion card can have 1, 2,4,8,16, or 32 megabytes of RAM. Together with the printer’s resident memory of 4 megabytes, these expansion options offer a range of RAM from 4 to 68 megabytes.
