3 PAPER HANDLING This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print media and loading print media into your product.
Selecting Print Media Always use print media that meets the guidelines for use with this product. Using a print media that is not recommended may cause paper jams or print quality problems. Media Size Input Sources and Capacities Input Source/Capacitya Media Size Paper Cassette Bypass Tray YES/550 YES/550 YES/550 NO/0 YES/550 NO/0 NO/0 YES/100 YES/100 YES/100 YES/100 YES/100 YES/100 YES/100 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 NO/0 YES/10 YES/10 YES/10 YES/10 YES/10 NO/0 NO/0 YES/30 YES/30 Letter (8.5 x 11 in.
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 only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Store unused media at temperatures between 59oF and 86oF (15oC to 30oC). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%. • Do not load more than 10 sheets of special media into the Bypass Tray at a time. • Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200oC (392oF) 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.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side facing up. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the right side. 3 For details on loading paper in the cassette, see page 1.17. After loading paper in the cassette, you have to set the correct paper size using the control panel buttons. See page 1.20.
Using the Bypass Tray The Bypass tray is located at the right side of your product. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the product more compact. Use the bypass tray 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 cassette. Acceptable print media are plain paper with sizes ranging from 3.9x5.8, to Legal 8.5 x 14 inch, the largest size acceptable, and weighing between 16lb and 32lb.
To load print media in the Bypass tray: 1 Lower the Bypass tray, located on the right side of the product. Unfold the paper support extension as shown. Paper support Bypass tray 2 Prepare a stack of paper or envelope for loading by flexing or fanning them back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. For transparencies; 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.
4 Adjust the paper guide to the width of the stack of print material. Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The stack should be under the max. fill line. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep, or push it in too far. Max. fill line NOTES: When printing on the used paper from the bypass tray, the printed side should be facing up and the edge without curl at the left side. If you experience problems feeding paper, turn the paper around. 3.
Setting the Paper Size for Copying After loading paper in the paper cassette or the bypass tray, you have to set the correct paper size using the control panel buttons. These settings will apply to the Copy mode, and the Fax mode (SCX-5312F only). In PC printing mode, you have to select the paper size in the application program you use. To set the paper size for cassette, take the following steps: 1 Press Menu/Exit and then System Data from the onetouch dial keypad.
NOTE 3.
4 COPYING This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for copying documents.
Loading Paper for Copy Output You can copy to a size of media as small as an index card (3.9 by 5.8 inch) or as large as a sheet of legal-sized (8.5 by 14 inch) paper. The instructions for loading the print media are the same whether you are printing, faxing, or copying. For details, see page 1.17 and 3.6. Selecting Paper Tray After loading print media for copy output, you have to select the paper tray you will use for the copy job, and the fax job (SCX-5312F only). 1 Press Paper Tray.
Making Copies from the Automatic Document Feeder Using the ADF(Automatic Document Feeder), you can load up to 30 documents (20lb, 75 g/m2) in one job. Ensure documents are in good condition, have the same thickness and weight, and that all staples and paper clips have been removed. 1 Feed the documents (up to 30 pages) face up into the ADF and adjust the document guides to the document size. Make sure that the bottom of the document stack matches the paper size marked on the ADF.
6 Press Copy/Start to begin copying. The display shows the copy processing. NOTE: Dust on the ADF glass may cause the black lines on the printout, so keep it always clean. Making Copies on the Document Glass If you want to make copies from booklet, pamphlet, transparencies, or documents having other unusual characteristics, use the document glass to load document. 1 Lift the document cover.
NOTE: Make sure that no other documents are in the ADF. If a document is detected in the ADF, the document has a priority than the document on the glass. 3 Close the document cover. NOTE: • Leaving the cover open while copying will affect the copy quality and toner consumption. • If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, close the cover flat. The slanted cover may cause heavy exposure of the light when scanning. 4 SCX-5312F users should verify that the product is in the Copy mode.
Setting Copy Options The following buttons on the control panel let you make all the basic copy options: contrast, image type, number of copies and copy size. Use the buttons before pressing Copy/Start when you make copies. Image Image setting is used to improve the copy quality. To select the image type, take the following steps: 1 Press Image. You can see the current setting on the bottom line of the display. 2 Press Image repeatedly or use the navigation buttons until the desired mode appears.
Set Using the Set ( ) button, you can select the number of copies, from 1 to 999. 1 Press Set ( ). The triangle symbol on the middle of the top line heads for the number of copies. 2 Enter the number of copies using the number keypad. The selected number appears on the display. You can also use Increase ( ) or Decrease ( ) to change the number of copies. Press Increase ( ) or Decrease ( ) to increase or decrease the number by 1. If you press and hold the buttons, the number increases or decreases rapidly.
Auto Fit This feature automatically reduces or enlarges the original image to fit on the paper currently loaded in the prodcut, so you cannot adjust the copy size. This special copy mode can be applied when you load document only using the document glass. So if a document is detected in the ADF, the Auto Fit does not work. 1 Load the document to be copied on the document glass, and close the cover. 2 Make sure that you have selected the required paper tray. See page 4.2.
Clone The Clone feature prints multiple image copies from original document on a single page. The number of images is automatically determined by the original image size, so you cannot adjust the copy size. This special copy mode can be applied when you load document only using the document glass. So if a document is detected on the ADF, the Clone does not work. 1 Load the document to be copied on the document glass, and close the cover. 2 Make sure that you have selected the required paper tray.
Duplex Copy Duplex copy allows you to print on both sides of the paper. Duplex copy is available only when you load documents in the ADF. Before printing in the duplex mode, decide on which edge you will bind your finished document. The binding options are: LONG EDGE, which is the conventional layout used in book binding. SHORT EDGE, which is the type often used with calendars. Long Edge Short Edge 1 Load the documents to be copied in the ADF. Make sure that the original document is single sided.
Collation Copy When the Collation Copy feature is on, your product sorts the copy job. For example, 2 copies of a 3 page job will print one complete document followed by the second complete document (e.g. 1, 2, 3, then 1, 2, 3). Collation copy is available only when you load documents in the ADF. 1 Load the documents to be copied in the ADF. 2 Make sure that you have selected the required paper tray. See page 4.2.
