4 This chapter will help you understand what kind of paper you can use with the ML-1650 series printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality.
Choosing Paper and Other Media You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper. When you choose print media, consider the following: • Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project. • Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.
Choosing Paper and Other Media Media Sizes and Capacities Media Size Input Source/Capacity*1 Tray 1 or Optional Tray 2 Multi-Purpose Tray Manual Feed 550 550 550 550 550 550 – 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 10 10 10 10 10 1 1 1 1 1 Plain Paper Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) Legal (8.5 x 14 in.) Executive (7.25 x 10.5 in.) Folio (8.5 x 13 in.) A4 (210 x 297 mm) B5 (182 x 257 mm) A5 (148 x 210 mm) Envelopes No. 10 (4.12 x 9.5 in.) Monarch (3.87 x 7.5 in.
Choosing Paper and Other Media Paper Guidelines When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in mind: • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. • Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper. • Use only high-quality, copier grade paper. • Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier.
Selecting the Output Tray The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it. • If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray. • To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing.
Selecting the Output Tray To open the rear output tray: 1 Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions as the output tray. 2 Pull the extender to extend the output tray to its full-length position. This will allow the tray to hold longer paper. 3 If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output tray, slide the extender back into place and close the tray. The pages will then stack on the top output tray.
Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps to prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper tray(s) while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray(s) shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator turns red. Paper full " "! ! Paper empty Using Tray 1 or the Optional Tray 2 Tray 1 holds 550 sheets of paper. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.
Loading Paper Using the Multi-Purpose Tray The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact. The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special paper that you do not normally keep in the paper tray.
Loading Paper To load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray: 1 Pull the Multi-Purpose Tray down towards you. 2 Slide the extender to extend the tray to its full-length position to hold longer paper. 3 Prepare a stack of paper for loading by flexing or fanning them back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 4.
Loading Paper 4 Place paper with the print side face up, and against the left edge of the tray. Note: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The stack should be under the stack height limit mark. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep, or push it in too far. Stack height limit mark 5 Slide the paper width guide to the left flush against the stack of print material without bending.
Loading Paper Using the Manual Feed When you change the print settings, if you select Manual Feed in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.
Loading Paper 3 When you print a document, you must select Manual Feed for Paper Source from the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 5.3. 4 Print the document. 5 The Manual light on the control panel blinks. Press the Demo button on the control panel. The sheet of paper is loaded and printed. 6 After one page is printed, the Manual light on the control panel blinks again. Feed the next sheet into the MultiPurpose Tray and press Demo.
Printing on Envelopes Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before you load envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not load more than 10 envelopes into the Multi-Purpose Tray. • Do not feed stamped envelopes. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.
Printing on Envelopes 3 Flex or fan the envelopes to supply air through them for loading. 4 Load the envelopes with the flap side down, and against the left edge of the tray. The stamp area is on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the Multi-Purpose Tray first. 5 Adjust the guide to the left edge of the envelope stack. 6 When you print on envelopes, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.3.
Printing on Labels Guidelines • Only use labels recommended for laser printers. • Do not load more than 25 labels into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
Printing on Transparencies Guidelines • Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. • Do not load more than 20 transparencies into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have any torn edge. • Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.
Printing on Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for exsample). Guidelines • Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second.
Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized media can be printed with the ML-1650 series printer. The minimum size is 90 by 148 mm (3.5 by 5.83 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.). Guidelines • Always insert the short-edge into the Multi-Purpose Tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

You will see the name in the Overlay List box. 6 Click OK or Yes until you complete the creation. The file is not printed out. Instead it will be stored on your computer HDD disk. Note: The overlay document size must be the same as documents you will print with the overlay.
Using Page Overlay 4 If the desired overlay file does not appear in the Overlay List box, click Load Overlay, and select the overlay file. If you have stored the overlay file you want to use into an external source, you can also load the file when you access this Load Overlay window. After you select the file, click OK. The file is now shown in the Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the overlay from the Overlay List box. 5.
Using Page Overlay 5 If necessary, click Query Page Overlay. If this box is checked, a message box will appear each time you submit a document for printing, asking you to confirm your wish to print an overlay on your document.

6 This chapter provides suggestions for high-quality and economical printing and information for maintaining the toner cartridge and the printer.
Maintaining Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in your mind. • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months. • Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
Toner Cartridge Redistributing Toner When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge. 1 Open the top cover. 2 Remove the toner cartridge from the printer. CAUTIONS: • Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot.
Toner Cartridge 4 Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Be sure that the toner cartridge is firmly in its place. 5 Firmly close the cover. If the print remains light Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See “Install the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.3. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 6.
Cleaning the Printer To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer free from dust and debris. Notes: • Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the printer. These can damage the printer. • While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge ).
Cleaning the Printer 4 Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white cottom black. 5 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. Then, turn the printer on. Printing a cleaning sheet Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts.

Paper Specifications Guidelines for Using Paper For best results, use conventional 90 g/m2 (24 lb) paper. Make sure the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of the paper. The following problems with paper can cause print quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the printer.
Paper Specifications Paper Specifications Category Specifications Acid Content 5.5 ~ 8.0 pH Caliper .094 ~ .18 mm (3.0 ~ 7.0 mils) Curl in Ream Flat within 5 mm (.02 in.) Cut Edge Conditions Cut with sharp blades with no visible fray. Fusing Compatibility Must not scorch, melt, offset, or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 °C (392 °F) for .1 second.
Paper Specifications Printer and Paper Storage Environment Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room.
Paper Specifications Envelopes Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components: • Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur. • Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.
Paper Specifications Envelopes with Double Side Seams Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Paper Specifications Labels CAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers. • To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray to print labels and always use the rear output tray. • Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels. When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: • Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
