Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should beat 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 themoisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it tocondense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditionersremove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is openedand used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity toincrease in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbsany excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, aspaper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This can causepaper jams.As a result, paper storage and handling are as important asthe paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmentalconditions directly affect the feed operation.Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can beeasily used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored forlong periods may experience heat and moisture extremes,which can cause damage. Planning is important to preventdamage to a large supply of paper.Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for severalmonths before use. Opened packages of paper have morepotential for environment damage, especially if they are notwrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.The paper storage environment should be properly maintainedto ensure optimum printer performance. The required conditionis 20 ° to 24 °C (68° to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be helpful whenevaluating the paper’s storage environment:• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.• The air should not be too dry or too humid (due to thehygroscopic properties of paper).• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap ittightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printerenvironment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amountof paper to be used during the day’s operation to preventunwanted moisture changes.Paper SpecificationsPrinter and Paper Storage EnvironmentA.6SPECIFICATIONS
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can varyconsiderably, not only between manufacturers, but also withina box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing onenvelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. Whenselecting envelopes, consider the following components:• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed90 g/m2(24 lb) or jamming may occur.• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat withless than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, orotherwise damaged.• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatiblewith the heat and pressure of the printer.• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following sizeranges.MinimumMulti-PurposeTrayMaximum216 X 356 mm(8.5 X 14 in.)90 X 148 mm(3.5 X 5.83 in.)Notes:• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.• You may experience some paper jams when using anymedia with a length less than 148 mm (5.83 in.). This maybe caused by paper that has been af fected byenvironmental conditions. For optimum performance, makesure you are storing and handling the paper correctly.Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage Environment”on page A.6.Paper SpecificationsEnvelopesA.7SPECIFICATIONS
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both endsof the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may bemore likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way tothe corner of the envelope as illustrated below.Envelopes withDouble Side SeamsEnvelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than oneflap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible withthe heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and stripsmight cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may evendamage the fuser.Envelopes withAdhesive Strips orFlapsThe following gives typical address margins for a commercial#10 or DL envelope.Envelope MarginsProper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle duringprinting.

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.• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backingbetween them. Labels can peel off sheets with spacesbetween the labels, causing serious jams.• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or otherindications of separation.See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.14.Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.15.CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use onlytransparencies recommended for use in laser printers.CAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labelsrecommended for laser printers.• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Trayto print labels and always use the rear output tray.• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than onceand never print on a partial sheet of labels.Paper SpecificationsLabelsTransparenciesA.9SPECIFICATIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About USBQQQQWhat is USB?How can I determine if my computer’s USB port is enabled?AAUniversal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices toyour computer without having to open your PC. USB uses astandard port and plug combination for connecting devices likeprinters, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offersthe benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and movedevices.Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommendedusing a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an optionto customers who want to print from Windows 98, Macintoshusing a USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled andproperly setup, you can connect your printer to it or to a chainof USB devices via a USB cable.11In Windows 98, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.22Double-click the System icon.33Click the Device Manager tab.44Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial BusController item.If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USBis properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain,try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USBdevice. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USBhubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USBcables.)If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’sdocumentation or contact the manufacturer for moreinformation on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you canalways use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel portto your computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cableconnection, you may need to remove and reinstall the printersoftware.)AAB.4USING YOUR PRINTER WITH A USB CABLE
QQQQQQCan other users on my USB chain print to my ML-1650 seriesprinter?Yes. Windows 98 allows you to “share” your printer usingsoftware settings on your computer. After others on the USBchain have installed the printer software for your specific printer,they can print to your shared printer. After I install my printer, why isn’t my ML-1650 series printerassigned to an LPT printer port in the Print dialog box of mysoftware application?USB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. Afterthe printer has been installed, you see SSUSB:(your printername) instead of LPT.How can I increase printing speed and quality?When operated on a USB chain, your printer may becomeslower if other USB devices are being used while you’re printing.For optimal print performance, avoid using other devices in theUSB chain while printing.AAAAAAFrequently Asked Questions About USBB.5USING YOUR PRINTER WITH A USB CABLE
