PAPER HANDLINGThis chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print materials and loading them into your machine.This chapter includes:• Selecting Print Materials• Loading Paper• Selecting an Output Location
PAPER HANDLING3.2Selecting Print MaterialsYou can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and etc.. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page D.6. 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 lb (60 ~ 90 g/m2) bond for the standard paper tray (Tray 1) and optional paper tray (Tray 2)- 16 ~ 43 lb (60 ~ 163 g/m2) bond for the Multipurpose 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.CAUTION: Using print materials that dose not conform to the specifications listed on page D.4 may cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.Paper Type, Input Sources, and CapacitiesPaper TypeInput Source/Capacity** Maximum capacity may differ depending on media weight, thickness, and environmental conditions.Tray 1 Optional Tray 2Multipurpose trayPlain paper250 250 50Envelopes- - 5Labels****If you experience excessive jamming, load one sheet at a time through the Multipurpose tray.- - 5Transparencies**- - 5Card stock**- - 5
PAPER HANDLING3.33Guidelines 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 D.6.• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and 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 a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the Multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.• 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 print 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 HANDLING3.4- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.- To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.• For labels:- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 200 oC (392 o 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. Use of these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could damage your machine.Loading PaperIn the Standard TrayLoad the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the standard tray.The standard tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper. You can purchase an optional paper tray (Tray 2) and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. See page C.10 for more information about installing the optional Tray 2.
PAPER HANDLING3.53The 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 of the bar is completely lowered.To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the side to be printed on 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 of the tray.For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.7.NOTES: • If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the Multipurpose tray.• You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.Paper emptyPaper full
PAPER HANDLING3.6In the Multipurpose TrayThe Multipurpose tray can hold several sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper. You can load approximately 50 sheets of plain paper, 5 envelopes, 5 transparencies, 5 sheets of card stock, or 5 labels at a time.To load print material in the Multipurpose tray:1Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support extension, as shown. 2If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
PAPER HANDLING3.733Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up.For envelopes, load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.NOTES: • If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of envelopes in the Multipurpose tray.• If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multipurpose tray, the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge towards the machine. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around.4Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the print material without bending it.5After loading paper, you need to set the paper type and size for the Multipurpose tray. See page 2.20 for copying and faxing or page 4.6 for PC-printing.NOTE: The settings made from the printer driver override the settings on the control panel.
PAPER HANDLING3.86If you want the machine to stack the printed pages on the rear output slot, open the rear door to use the rear output slot.CAUTION: Make sure to open the rear output slot when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.7After printing, fold away the paper support extension and close the Multipurpose tray.Using the Manual Feed ModeYou can manually load a sheet of print material in the Multipurpose tray if you select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when changing print settings to print a document. For details about changing print settings, see page 4.6. 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 Multipurpose tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the standard tray, send print data to print the first page, and press Enter on the control panel to print each following page.1Lower the Multipurpose tray and unfold the paper support extension.2Load a sheet of print material with the side to be printed on facing up.
PAPER HANDLING3.933Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the print material without bending it.4If you want the machine to stack the printed pages on the rear output slot, open the rear door to use the rear output slot.CAUTION: Make sure to open the rear output slot when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.5After printing, fold away the paper support extension and close the Multipurpose tray.Tips on Using the Multipurpose Tray • Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multipurpose tray.• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multipurpose tray. This also applies to other types of print materials.• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the Multipurpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.• Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on page D.6 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the Multipurpose tray.• When you print on 76 mm X 127 mm (3 X 5 in.) sized media on the Multipurpose tray, open the rear output tray.• Make sure to open the rear output slot when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.
PAPER HANDLING3.10Selecting 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 door is closed. To use the rear output slot, open the door.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 door while the machine is printing.Printing to the Front Output Tray (Face down)The front output tray collects printed paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.Rear output slotFront outputtray
PAPER HANDLING3.113Printing to the Rear Output Slot (Face up)Using the rear output slot, paper comes out of the machine face up.Printing from the Multipurpose tray 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• transparenciesTo use the rear output slot:1Open the rear door by pulling it upward. CAUTION: The fusing area at the rear part of the inside of your machine is hot when powered. Be careful not to be burned when you access this area.
PAPER HANDLING3.122If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output slot, close the rear door. The pages stack on the front output tray.

PRINTING TASKS4.214Using OverlaysWhat is an Overlay?An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you need only tell the machine to print the letterhead overlay on your document.Creating a New Page OverlayTo use a page overlay, you must create a page overlay containing a logo or image.1Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If needed, save the file for later use.2To change the print settings from your software application, access printer properties.
