Topics included in this chapter are: ◆ Choosing Paper and Other Media ◆ Selecting Output Tray ◆ Loading Paper ◆ Printing on Envelopes ◆ Printing on Labels ◆ Printing on Transparencies ◆ Printing on Preprinted Paper ◆ Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media Choosing Paper and Other Media You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper. When you choose print media, 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 weight as follows: • 16~28 lbs bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 • 16~43 lbs bond for 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. • Opacity: Opacity refers to the degree to which printing on one side of the paper shows through the other side. Use paper high in opacity (or thicker paper) for two-sided (duplex) printing. Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities. CAUTION: Using media that does not confirm to the specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.

You cannot use multi-part paper. • Use only high-quality, copier grade paper. • Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier. • Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples. • Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam. • Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. • Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced. • Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heatresistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until it is ready to use. 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. PRINT MEDIA 4.3 Selecting the Output Tray The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it. • If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray. • To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing. Printing to the Top Output Tray (Face down) The top output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order. The top output tray should be used for most print jobs and is recommended for printing the following: • over 250 sheets of paper, continuously Top output tray Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up) un ma sr Sinte Pr Rear output tray 4.4 PRINT MEDIA ML-1A6SER PR INTER 50 The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up, with the last page on top. Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear output tray provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray might improve output quality with the following: • • • • • • over 100 sheets of paper, continuously envelopes labels small custom-size paper postcards paper lighter than 16 lb (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2) • transparencies: Note: Some special transparencies may have stacking problem by curl. In that case, please use the face down tray. Selecting the Output Tray To open the rear output tray: Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions as the output tray. Pull the extender to extend the output tray to its full-length position. This will allow the tray to hold longer paper. If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output tray, slide the extender back into place and close the tray. The pages will then stack on the top output tray. Note: The capacity of the rear output tray is the same as that of the Multi-Purpose Tray. If the tray is overloaded with printed pages, it may fall from the printer. Remove the pages so that the tray is not overloaded. PRINT MEDIA 4.5 Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps to prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper tray(s) while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray(s) shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator turns red. Paper full Paper empty Using Tray 1 or the Optional Tray 2 Tray 1 holds 550 sheets of paper. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.2 for acceptable paper size and capacities of each trays. Load a stack of paper into the Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 and print. For details on loading paper in the Tray 1 or optional Tray 2, see “Load Paper” on page 2.4. Tray 1 Optional Tray 2 4.6 PRINT MEDIA Loading Paper Using the Multi-Purpose Tray The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact. The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special paper that you do not normally keep in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, 20 transparencies, 10 card stocks or 25 labels at a time. When you print from the Multi-Purpose Tray, you must select Multi-Purpose Tray for Paper Source from your software application, and then select the paper size and type from the software application for the paper you have loaded. See page 5.3. • Load only one size of print media at a time in the MultiPurpose 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 media should be loaded face up with the top of the print media going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and be placed against the left edge of the tray. • Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid pressing down or applying excessive force on it. Multi-Purpose Tray PRINT MEDIA 4.7 Loading Paper To load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray: Pull the Multi-Purpose Tray down towards you. Slide the extender to extend the tray to its full-length position to hold longer paper. Prepare a stack of paper for loading by flexing or fanning them back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 4.8 PRINT MEDIA Loading Paper Place paper with the print side face up, and against the left edge of the tray. Note: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The stack should be under the stack height limit mark. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep, or push it in too far. Stack height limit mark Slide the paper width guide to the left flush against the stack of print material without bending. After printing, push the extender back to its place and close the Multi-Purpose Tray. PRINT MEDIA 4.9 Loading Paper Using the Manual Feed When you change the print settigs, if you select Manual Feed in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. 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 Multi-Purpose Tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the Demo button to print each following page. Load the paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray with the print side up. Slide the paper width guide to the left flush against the stack of print media without bending. 4.10 PRINT MEDIA Loading Paper When you print a document, you must select Manual Feed for Paper Source from the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 5.3. Print the document. The Manual light on the control panel blinks. Press the Demo button on the control panel. Demo The sheet of paper is loaded and printed. After one page is printed, the Manual light on the control panel blinks again. Error Manual Feed the next sheet into the MultiPurpose Tray and press Demo. Paper Data Repeat this step for every page to be printed. Cancel/Reprint Demo Toner Save PRINT MEDIA 4.11 Printing on Envelopes Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before you load envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not load more than 10 envelopes into the Multi-Purpose Tray. • Do not feed stamped envelopes. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and slide the extender to its full-length position. Open the rear output tray and pull the extender. 4.12 PRINT MEDIA Printing on Envelopes Flex or fan the envelopes to supply air through them for loading. Load the envelopes with the flap side down, and against the left edge of the tray. The stamp area is on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the Multi-Purpose Tray first. Adjust the guide to the left edge of the envelope stack. When you print on envelopes, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. After printing, close the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. PRINT MEDIA 4.13 Printing on Labels Guidelines • Only use labels recommended for laser printers. • Do not load more than 25 labels into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C (392°F) 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. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components. • Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the printer. • Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, separated from the backing sheet, or damaged in any way. Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. Load labels with print side up, and against the left edge of the tray. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels. When you print on labels, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. Note: To prevent them from sticking together, remove label sheet from the output tray as they are printed out. 4.14 PRINT MEDIA Printing on Transparencies Guidelines • Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. • Do not load more than 20 transparencies into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time. • Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have any torn edge. • 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. • Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side. Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and pull the extender out ot its full-length position. Load transparencies with print side up, and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the transparencies. When you print on transparencies, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. Notes: • To prevent transparencies from sticking together, remove them from the output tray as they are printed. • Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the printer. PRINT MEDIA 4.15 Printing on Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for exsample). Guidelines • Letterheads 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 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second. • Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers. • Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage. • Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper. Load letterheads into the tray you want to use as shown in the figures. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the paper stack. XXXX XXXX Load with the design face down, bottom edge toward the printer. When you print a document on the paper, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. Load with the design face up, top edge toward the printer. 4.16 PRINT MEDIA XX Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized media can be printed with the ML-1650 series printer. The minimum size is 90 by 148 mm (3.5 by 5.83 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.). Guidelines • Always insert the short-edge into the Multi-Purpose Tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper 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 media smaller than 90 mm (3.5 in.) wide or 148 mm(5.83 in.) long. • Set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) away from the edges of the media in the software application. Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray and pull the extenders out to its full-length position. Load print media with print side up, short edge first and against the left edge of the tray. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the media.
