2PAPER HANDLINGThis chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print materials and loading them into your machine.This chapter includes:• Selecting Print Materials• Selecting an Output Location• Loading Paper in the Paper Tray• Using the Manual Feeder
PAPER HANDLING2.2Selecting Print MaterialsYou can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.5. 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 your project.• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:- 16 ~ 24 lbs (60 ~ 90 g/m2) bond for the paper tray- 16 ~ 43 lbs (60 ~ 163 g/m2) bond for the manual feeder• 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 print materials that dose not conform to the specifications listed on page A.5 may cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.Type, Input Sources and Capacities Paper Type Input Source/Capacity** Maximum capacity may be reduced depending on the paper thickness.Paper Tray Manual FeederPlain paper250 1Envelopes- 1Labels**** If you experience excessive jamming, load one sheet at a time through the manual feeder.- 1Transparency films**-1Card stocks**-1
PAPER HANDLING2.32Guidelines for Paper and Special MaterialsWhen selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special material, keep these guidelines in mind:• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page A.5.• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print quality. • Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are 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.• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 oC and 30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be between 10 % and 70 %.• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser printers.• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints out.•For 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 lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.• For transparencies:- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.
PAPER HANDLING2.4- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and coated paper carefully.- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.•For labels:- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200 oC (392o F) for 0.1 second.- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.- Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.• Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. They could make smell of chemicals and damage your machine. Selecting an Output LocationThe machine has two output locations; the rear output slot (face up) and the front output tray (face down). To use the front output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed. To use the rear output slot, open the rear cover.NOTES: • If paper coming out of the front output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output slot.• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the machine is printing.
PAPER HANDLING2.52Printing to the Front Output Tray (Face down)The front output tray collects printed paper face-down in the order in which it was printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.NOTE: • If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and especially keep children away from the surface.• The front output tray can hold up to 50 sheets of paper. Remove the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.Printing to the Rear Output Slot (Face up)Using the rear output slot, paper comes out of the machine face up.Printing from the manual feeder to the rear output slot provides a straight paper path. Using the rear output slot might improve the output quality with the following:•envelopes•labels• small custom-sized paper• postcards• transparencies
PAPER HANDLING2.6To use the rear output slot:1Open the rear cover by pulling it upward. CAUTION: The fusing area inside the rear part of your machine becomes hot once the machine is turned on. Be careful when you access this area.2If you do not want to use the rear output slot, close the rear cover. The pages stack on the front output tray.
PAPER HANDLING2.72Loading Paper in the Paper TrayThe paper tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb(75g/m2) plain paper. For copying, you can use A4-, Letter- or Legal-sized paper only. For PC-printing, you can use many different sizes of paper; see page A.5.The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator drops to the bottom.To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down.You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front side of the tray.For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 1.8.NOTES: • If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the manual feeder.• You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge on top.If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.Paper empty Paper full
PAPER HANDLING2.8Using the Manual FeederUse the manual feeder to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer. The minimum size is 76 by 127 mm (3.0 by 5.0 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.).Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging from 100 x 148 mm (3.9 x 5.8 in.) to Legal, 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.), the largest size acceptable, and weighing between 16 lb and 32 lb.NOTES: • Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on page A.5 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.• When you print on 76 mm X 127 mm (3 X 5 in.) sized media with loading into the tray, open the rear output tray.1Load a sheet of the print material with the print side face up into the center of the manual feeder.For envelopes, load a sheet with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top left side.For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems. For letterhead, load a sheet with the design face up, top edge towards the printer.
PAPER HANDLING2.92CAUTION: You must open the rear output slot when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.2Adjust the paper guide to the width of the print material.NOTE: When printing on previously printed paper from the manual feeder, the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge to the machine. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around.3Open the rear cover to use the rear output slot. 4After printing, close the rear cover.
