Using Print Materials4.14Using Print MaterialsThis chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality. This chapter includes:• Choosing Paper and Other Materials•Loading Paper• Printing on Special Print MaterialsChoosing Paper and Other MaterialsYou can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, card stock, and so on. See “Printing on Special Print Materials” on page 4.4. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.When you choose print materials, 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.•Weight: Your printer supports paper weights as follows: -20~24lbs (75~90g/m2) bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 -20~43lbs (75~163g/m2) bond for the Multi-purpose Tray•Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images. •Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the specifications listed on page 10.3 can cause problems that may require service. This service will not be covered by the warranty or service agreements.Sizes and CapacitiesGuidelines for Paper and Special MaterialsWhen selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, 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 for the best print quality. • Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.• Do not attempt to load any tray while printing, and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough.• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature.• Store paper 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.NOTE: Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. These types of paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off fumes, or cause damage to the printer.SizeInput Source/Capacity** Depending on paper thickness, maximum capacity may be reduced.Tray 1 Tray 2(option)Multi-purpose TrayAutomatic Feed Manual FeedPlain Paper 250 500 100 1Envelopes**—— 10 1Labels**** If you are experiencing excessive jamming, feed one sheet at a time through the Multi-purpose Tray.—— 10 1Card stock**—— 10 1
Using Print Materials4.2Loading PaperProper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.1 for acceptable paper capacities for each tray. Using Tray 1 Load the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in Tray 1.Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain A4 or letter-sized paper.You can purchase an optional tray, Tray 2, and attach it below Tray 1, to load an additional 500 sheets of paper. See 9.1 for more information about installing the optional Tray 2.To load paper, pull the tray and the load the paper with the print side up.For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.4. NOTE: If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the Multi-purpose Tray.Using the Optional Tray The optional tray, Tray 2, can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of plain paper.To load paper in Tray 2, follow the instructions for loading paper on page 2.4.Using the Multi-purpose TrayThe Multi-purpose Tray is located on the right side of your printer. It can be closed when not in use, making the printer more compact. The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of material, such as cards and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterhead, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special materials that you do not normally keep in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10 envelopes, 10 sheets of card stock, or 10 labels at a time. • Load only one size of print material 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 types of print materials.• Print materials should be loaded face down with the top edge going into the Multi-purpose Tray first, and be placed in the center of the tray.Multi-purpose Tray
Using Print Materials4.3To load print material in the Multi-purpose Tray:1Lower the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support extension, as shown. 2If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.3Load the print material with the print side down.4Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the print material without causing it to bend.If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multi-purpose Tray, the printed side should be facing up with the uncurled edge toward the printer. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around.NOTE: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.5When you print a document, set the paper source to Multi-Purpose Tray and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. For details, see the Software User’s Guide.NOTE: After printing, fold away the paper support extension and close the Multi-purpose Tray. Using the Manual Feed You can manually load a sheet of print material 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. For details about changing print settings, see the Software User’s Guide. 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 the On Line/Continue button ( ) on the control panel to print each following page.1Lower the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.2Load a sheet of print material with the print side down.
Using Print Materials4.43Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the paper without causing it to bend.4When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. For details, see the Software User’s Guide. 5Print the document. 6Press the On Line/Continue button ( ). The printer picks up the print material and prints.NOTE: If you don’t press the button after a pause, the paper will automatically fed into the printer.7After one page is printed, insert the next sheet into the Multi-purpose Tray and press the On Line/Continue button ( ).Repeat this step for every page to be printed.Printing on Special Print MaterialsPrinting on Envelopes• Load envelopes into the Multi-purpose Tray only.• Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before loading envelopes in the Multi-purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not feed stamped envelopes.• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. To print on envelopes:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Flex or fan the edge of the envelope stack to separate them before loading.3Load the envelopes into the Multi-purpose Tray with the flap side up. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first. 4Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the envelope stack without causing it to bend.5When you print, set the paper source to Multi-Purpose Tray and the paper type to Envelope, and select the appropriate size in the software application. For details, see the Software User’s Guide.
Using Print Materials4.5Printing on Labels• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.• 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.• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or print on a partial sheet of labels.• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out. To print on labels:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Load labels in the Multi-purpose Tray only, with the print side down and the top, short edge in first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels. 3When you print, set the paper source to Multi-Purpose Tray and the paper type to Labels, and select the appropriate size in the software application. For details, see the Software User’s Guide.Printing on Preprinted Paper• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).• 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 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in 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 of preprinted paper, reducing the print quality.To print on preprinted paper:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Load letterhead in the Multi-purpose Tray only, with the print side down and the top and short edge first. Adjust the guide to fit the edge of the paper stack.3When you print, set the paper source to Multi-Purpose Tray and the paper type to Preprinted, and select the appropriate paper size in the software application. For details, see the Software User’s Guide.
Using Print Materials4.6Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Materials• Postcards, 3.5in. by 5.5in. (index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with your printer. The minimum size is 3.5in. by 5.5in. (90mm by 140mm) and the maximum size is 8.5in. by 14in. (216mm by 356mm).• Always insert the short edge into the Multi-purpose Tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection using your software. Inserting the long edge first may cause a paper jam.• Do not load more than 10 cards into the Multi-purpose Tray at a time.• Do not print on material smaller than 90mm (3.5in.) wide or 140mm (5.5in.) long.• In the software application, set margins at least 4.3mm away from the edges of the material.To print on card stock:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Load print material in the Multi-purpose Tray only, with the print side down and the short edge first. Slide the guide until it lightly touches the stack without causing it to bend.3When you print, set the paper source to Multi-Purpose Tray and select the appropriate size and type in the software application. For details, see the Software User’s Guide. If the size of your print material is not listed in the Size box in the Paper tab, click the Custom button and set the size manually.

The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.• To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them to light for more than a few minutes.Toner Cartridge Life ExpectancyThe life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages for black and each color. The starter toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and each color.Redistributing TonerWhen a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, if you use the CLP-600N, “Ready [Color] Low Toner” may appear on the display. The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner cartridge until the SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control panel displays that message (CLP-600N only). You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.
