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 Margin Setting the Paper Tray - 130 ...
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.
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.
Printing on a Letterhead paper Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead paper that you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers. Page orientation is important when printing on a letterhead paper. Use the following table for help when loading a letterhead paper in the print media sources.
Transparencies Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities: • Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.
Page 137
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier. • Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes. • Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Storing Print Media Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality: • 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.

Selecting an Output Location The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up). Output Tray Rear Cover 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.
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.
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"...
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.
Page 147
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: • Envelopes: load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
