Print MediaThis chapter will help you understand what kind of paperyou can use with the ML-7300 series printer and how toproperly load paper in the different paper trays for the bestprint quality.Topics included in this chapter are:◆Loading Paper◆Printing on Envelopes◆Printing on Label◆Printing on Transparencies44
PR I N T ME D I A4.1Loading PaperMulti-Purpose tray provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, or other type of media without having to unload the other tray.To load paper in the Multi-Purpose tray, proceed as follows.Using the Multi-Purpose Tray1Pull the Multi-Purpose trayt o wards yo u .2Slide the length guide outt o ward yo u .
PR I N T ME D I A4.2Notes • Do not fold or crease the paper.• Place the paper with the recommended print side face up.3Flex the sheets back and forthto loosen them, then fan them.4Place the paper against the sideof the Multi-Purpose tray withthe recommended print sideface up and the top edge goingin first toward the printer ass h o w n .5Adjust the paper guide to thes i ze of the paper inserted bypushing the guide. Loading Paper
PR I N T ME D I A4.31Select Manual as the paper source.•Set the source item in the properties dialogue box to Manual.•You can select Manual as the paper source by setting the Tray itemof the operator panel menu.2Print your document.3Place a sheet of paper in the Multi-Purpose tray.4Press continue key when you areprompted.The Manual Feed feature allows you to print on special paper from Multi-Purpose tray such as envelopes or letterhead. If the Tray menu item is set to Manual, the printer will print only from Multi-Purpose tray. Manual Feed is selected through the software or printer driver too. Loading PaperManually Feeding Paper from Multi-Purpose Tray
PR I N T ME D I A4.4For Multi-Purpose tray, load the paper with the side-to-be-printed facing up, and the top, shortedge toward the printer.• Set the source item in the properties dialogue box to Manual or MP.- To print continuously from Multi-Purpose tray, set the source item to MP.- To print a sheet of paper from Multi-Purpose tray, set the source item to Manual.For All other trays, load paper with the side-to-be-printedfacing down, and the top, short edget o ward yo u .Loading PaperLetterhead / Prepunched PaperPrinting Side(down)Printing Side(up)Special paper includes letterhead, prepunched, envelopes, labels, and tra n s p a r e n c i e s .When printing letterhead, prepunched paper, it is important to load the trays with the correct orientation.
PR I N T ME D I A4.5Many types of envelopes can be printed from Multi-Purpose tray.The types of envelopes are COM-10, MONARCH, DL, C5 and C6(60~90g/m2).The printer will automatically feed up to 10 envelopes.Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope.Printing information•Set margins at least 0.6inch(15mm) from the edge of the envelope.•Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing large quantities.•Select THICK paper for better quality.Envelopes guidelinesFor best performance, use envelopes made from 75g/m2(20lb bond) paper.Do not use envelopes that : •Are damaged in any way.•Use metal claps, string ties, metal folding bars.•Contain windows, holes, cutouts or embossing.•Have exposed flap adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position. For envelope specifications, see page Appendix A.4. 1Open the Multi-Purpose tray. Pull out the extension.EnvelopesLoading envelopesLoading Paper

PR I N T ME D I A4.7Labels automatically feed from the Multi-Purpose tray or the other tray s .Label guidelinesMake sure that labels meet the specifications for the tray you use.•Use full label sheet. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off duringprinting, resulting in a paper jam.•The adhesive material should be stable at 400OF(205OC), the printersmaximum temperature.•Do not use labels that have the backing sheet exposed.• For Multi-Purpose tray, load thelabels with the side-to-be-printedfacing up, and the short edget o ward the printer. Print a stackof 25 labels from Multi-Purposet ray.Notes Do not print on both sides of labels.Loading PaperL a b e lLabel orientation
