Selecting Print Media2-2 ❖DocuPrint P14 User GuideSelecting Print MediaOne of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible print quality from your printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a small quantity of paper before you purchase a large quantity.Refer to the separate Supplies/Options Guide that came with your printer for a listing of Xerox recommended print media.

Selecting Print Media2-4 ❖DocuPrint P14 User GuideBasic Guidelines When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, 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 multipart paper.• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. 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 400oF (205oC) 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, heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s approximately 400oF (205oC) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.• Store paper in its ream wrapper until 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 it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
Selecting Print MediaChapter 2: Loading Print Media ❖2-5• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.• You can use transparencies and labels designed for laser printers.• Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed on the Supplies/Options Guide that came with your printer.• When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds.— DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.— DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials.— DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Loading Print Media2-6 ❖DocuPrint P14 User GuideLoading Print MediaYou can load up to 250 sheets of paper in Tray 1. Refer to Table 2.1 on page 2-3 for supported sizes.

Replacing the Laser Print Cartridge4-2 ❖DocuPrint P14 User GuideReplacing the Laser Print CartridgeThe life of your laser print cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each print job. For instance, when you print mostly business letters, which typically have about a 5% page coverage, you can expect a laser print cartridge life of approximately 6,000 pages. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often. You can check how many pages have been printed by printing a configuration sheet, as described in the section “Control Panel Button” (page 3-21).If the Econo Mode option is available in your software application program, you can extend the life of your laser print cartridge. Econo Mode uses approximately 50% less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.When the laser print cartridge is near the end of its life, white vertical streaks or hue changes will occur. You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge:• Open the printer cover and remove the cartridge.• Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.• Reinstall the cartridge and close the cover.This is typically successful one time only, however. As the toner eventually runs out, print quality problems will reoccur and the ERROR indicator on the control panel will light up (see page 3-20). You will have to replace the laser print cartridge (go to page 4-3).
