Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on the next column.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following media types:

• Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough
• Erasable bond paper
• Multi-paged paper
• Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
• Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

- Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer.

- Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

- Store unused print media at temperatures between 15^ and 30^ (59°F to 86°F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

- Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

- Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi-purpose tray to avoid paper jams.

- To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Guidelines for special print media

Media type Guidelines

Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m^2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer's fusing temperature of 195^ (383° F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope's seams meet.

Media type Guidelines
Transparencies	To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 195°C (383°F), the printer's fusing temperature.Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels • To avoid	damaging the printer, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.When selecting labels, consider the following factors:- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195°C (383°F), the printer's fusing temperature.- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any direction.- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between 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.Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the printer.Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock or custom-sized materials	Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.

Media type Guidelines

Preprinted paper

Letterhead 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 195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second.Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray 1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75g / m^2 (20 lb) plain paper.

You can purchase optional trays and attach them below the standard tray to load an additional 500 sheets of paper for each tray. You can attach up to three additional trays. For order information for optional trays, see page 7.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional trays shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.

Full Empty

Using the standard tray or the optional trays

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the standard tray. The standard tray can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75 g/m ^2 (20 lb) paper.

To load paper, pull open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down.

• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the printer first.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an uncurled edge entering the printer first.

Note

- Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.

Caution

- When you print on special media like envelopes, labels, transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the rear cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.

4 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

5 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the software application. See the Software section.

For information about setting the paper source and type on the control panel, see page 2.3.

6 After printing, put the multi-purpose tray extension back to its place and close the multi-purpose tray.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
  • To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other tray.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
  • Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.
• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on the multi-purpose tray, open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid paper jams.
• When you print on transparencies, open the rear cover. If not they may tear while exiting the printer.

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print media in the multi-purpose tray if you select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the multi-purpose tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the tray, send print data to print the first page, and press Stop on the control panel to print each following page.

1 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

3 When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. See the Software section.

4 Print a document.

The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and press Stop.

5 Press Stop.

The printer picks up the print media and prints. After one page is printed, the message appears again.

Note

- If you do not press the button, after a pause the printer will automatically pick the print media.

6 Insert the next sheet into the multi-purpose tray and press Stop. Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

Selecting an output location

The printer has two output locations; the rear cover (face up) and the output tray (face down).

1 rear cover 2 output tray

The printer sends output to the output tray by default. To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.

Notes

• If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the printer is printing.

Printing to the output tray (Face down)

The output tray collects paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.

Printing to the rear cover (Face up)

Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the printer face up.

Printing from the multi-purpose tray to the rear cover provides a straight paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the output quality with special print media.

To use the rear cover, open it by pulling down and pull the rear cover extension.

2 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
3 Press the Scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK.
4 Press the Scroll buttons until Clean Fuser or Clean Drum appears and press OK.

Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute.

Expected cartridge yield

The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Saving toner

To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button backlight turns on.

Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

Checking the remaining toner

You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.

If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if the problem is caused by low toner.

Precautions when installing accessories

Disconnect the power cord:

Never remove the control board cover while the printer is plugged in.

To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories.

Discharge static electricity:

The control board and internal accessories (Wireless network interface card, DIMM, and hard disk) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk round before finishing installation, discharge any static electricity once again.

Installing a memory DIMM

Your printer has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use this DIMM slot to install additional memory.

Your printer has 64 MB of memory which can be expanded to 512 MB. For information about ordering optional DIMMs, see page 7.1.

1 Turn the printer power off and unplug the power cord and printer cable from the printer.
2 Remove the duplex-slot cover or the duplex unit from the back of the printer.

The Resolution options you can select may vary depending on your printer model. The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a document.

Image Mode

The available options are Normal and Text Enhance. Some printers do not support this feature.

• Printer Setting: If you select this option, this feature is determined by the setting you've made on the control panel of the printer.
  • Normal(1,2,3): This setting is for normal documents.
  Text Enhancement: Image Mode allows the user to enhance printouts.

Toner Save Mode

Selecting this option extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page without a significant reduction in print quality. Some printers do not support this feature.

• Printer Setting: If you select this option, this feature is determined by the setting you've made on the control panel of the printer.
• On: Select this option to allow the printer to use less toner on each page.

Advanced Options

You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Options button.

- TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver tells the printer about how to image the text in your document. Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your document. This option may be available only in Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer model.

- Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

- Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the driver will download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.

- Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting.

- Print All Text To Black: When the Print All Text To Black option is checked, all text in your document prints solid black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen.

Extras Tab

You can select output options for your document. See "Printing a Document" on page 12 for more information about accessing the printer properties.

Click the Extras tab to access the following feature:

2 Overlay

Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. For details, see "Using Overlays" on page 22.

③ Output Options

• Print Subset: You can set the sequence in which the pages print. Select the print order from the drop-down list.
• Normal(1,2,3): Your printer prints all pages from the first page to the last page.
• Reverse All Pages(3,2,1): Your printer prints all pages from the last page to the first page.
• Print Odd Pages: Your printer prints only the odd numbered pages of the document.
• Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even numbered pages of the document.

• Information Page: Select Banner Page to print a banner sheet containing the printer name, the network user ID, job name before printing the document. When several users send a print job to the printer, this option allows you to easily find your printing from the output tray. Some printers do not support this feature.

• Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

• Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to save the document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER*.FOM). Once this option is selected, the printer driver requires the file name and the destination path each time you print. If you want to preset the file name and specify the path, click on the button in the Output to area, and type the file name and specify the path. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

4 Job Setting

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company's letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

1 Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

6 Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List box.
7 Click OK or Yes to finish creating. The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your computer hard disk drive.

NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.

Using a Page Overlay

After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with your document. To print an overlay with a document:

1 Create or open the document you want to print.
2 To change the print settings from your software application, access printer properties. See "Printing a Document" on page 12.
3 Click the Extras tab.
4 Select the desired overlay from the Overlay drop-down list box.
5 If the overlay file you want does not appear in the Overlay list, click Edit button and Load Overlay, and select the overlay file. If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an external source, you can also load the file when you access the Load Overlay window. After you select the file, click Open.

Image Mode

Image Mode allows the user to enhance printouts. The available options are Normal and Text Enhance.

Fit to Page

This printer feature allows you to scale your print job to any selected paper size regardless of the digital document size. This can be useful when you want to check fine details on a small document.

Paper Type

Set Type to correspond to the paper loaded in the tray from which you want to print. This will let you get the best quality printout. If you load a different type of print material, select the corresponding paper type.

Resolution(Quality)

The Resolution options you can select may vary depending on your printer model. You can select the printing resolution. The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a document.

Printing Multiple Pages on One Sheet of Paper

You can print more than one page on a single sheet of paper. This feature provides a cost-effective way to print draft pages.

1 From your Macintosh application, select Print from the File menu.
2 Select Layout.

Printer: Presets: Standard Layout Pages per Sheet: 1 Layout Direction: Border: None Two Sided Printing: ON Long-Edge Binding Short Edge Binding Preview Save As PDF... Fax... Cancel Print

3 Select the number of pages you want to print on one sheet of paper on the Pages per Sheet drop-down list.
4 Select the page order from the Layout Direction option. To print a border around each page on the sheet, select the option you want from the Border drop-down list.
5 Click Print, and the printer prints the selected number of pages on one side of each page.

Duplex Printing

You can print on both sides of the paper. Before printing in the duplex mode, decide on which edge you will be binding your finished document. The binding options are:

Long-Edge Binding: Which is the conventional layout used in book binding.

Short-Edge Binding: Which is the type often used with calendars.

1 From your Macintosh application, select Print from the File menu.
2 Select the Layout.

Printer: Presets: Standard Layout Pages per Sheet: 1 Layout Direction: Border: None Two Sided Printing: Off Long-Edge Binding Short Edge Binding Preview Save As PDF... Fax... Cancel Print

▲ Mac OS 10.3

3 Select a binding orientation from Two Sided Printing option.
4 Click Print and the printer prints on both sides of the paper.

CAUTION: If you have selected duplex printing and then try to print multiple copies of a document, the printer may not print the document in the way you want. In case of "Collated copy", if your document has odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first page of the next copy will be printed on the front and back of one sheet. In case of "Uncollated copy", the same page will be printed on the front and back of one sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a document and you want those copies on both sides of the paper, you must print them one at a time, as separate print jobs.
