CAUTION:

!

When you are choosing print media, be sure to follow the information given below to prevent
any paper jams, print quality problems or printer damage;

• It is recommended to use long-grained paper for the best print quality. If short-grained

paper is being used, it might be the cause of paper jams.

• Use neutral paper. Do not use acid paper to avoid any damage to the drum unit.

• Avoid using coated paper such as vinyl coated paper.

• Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.

• It is recommended to use labels or transparencies which are designed for use in laser

printers.

• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed, or the printer will be damaged.

• Before loading paper with holes such as organizer sheets, be sure to fan the stack well.

• Do not use organizer sheets that are stuck together. The glue that is used might caused

damaged to the printer.

• When printing on the back of pre-printed paper, if the paper is curled, be sure to straighten

the paper as much as possible.

Different types of paper should not be loaded at the same time in the paper tray to avoid any
paper jams or misfeeds.

3.8 Print Speeds with Various Settings

Print speed is up to 16 ppm for A4 size, 17 ppm for Letter size (HL-2030) and 20 ppm (HL­2040/2070N) when loading A4 or Letter size paper from the paper tray in the plain paper mode.

Actual print speed varies depending on the media type or paper size as shown in the tables
below;

NOTE:

• The print speed may vary according to conditions, such as paper size and paper tray.

• When a smaller size paper than A4 or Letter is printed, the temperature on both edges of

the fixing unit is much higher than the temperature on the center of the unit where the paper
is fed depending on the setting or model. Therefore, the print speed is slowed in order to
decrease the temperature on the edges after the specified time, it is maximum print speed
when you first start printing.

• The actual print speed varies depending on the paper size.
