Storing Paper

The quality of paper may deteriorate if it is stored improperly even when the paper meets the normal speciﬁcations. Inferior paper may cause misfeeds, paper jams, or deterioration in print quality. Observe the following guidelines when storing and handling paper:

IMPORTANT

•

Store paper away from moisture since paper quality deteriorates in a moist environment.

•

Paper wrappers help avoiding moisture and dryness. Keep paper in the wrapper until it is ready to be used. Store all unused paper in a wrapper.

•

Store paper on a ﬂat surface.

•

Do not store paper on the ﬂoor where water and moisture can accumulate.

•

Avoid physical damage to stored paper.

•

Do not store paper vertically or store too many stacks of paper in one pile.

•

Do not store paper in places exposed to direct sunlight or places with high or low humidity.

•

If the paper storage room and work area differ from each other signiﬁcantly in temperature or humidity, keep packed paper stack in the work area for at least one day prior to printing so that it can adapt to the new environment. When paper is moved to a location where the temperature or humidity differs signiﬁcantly, the paper may curl or become creased.

Storing Printouts

Loading and Outputting Paper

When handling or storing printouts printed by this printer, be careful of the following points:

IMPORTANT

•

Avoid storing printouts with PVC materials such as clear folders. Otherwise toner may melt and stick to the PVC material.

•

Use insoluble adhesive when gluing printouts. Toner may melt when soluble adhesive is used. Before using the adhesive, test it with paper that is no longer required. Make sure that the printed paper is completely dry before placing one over another. Toner may melt if they are placed together half-dried.

•

Store paper on a ﬂat surface. Toner may peel when they are folded or creased.

•

Avoid storing printouts at high temperatures. Otherwise toner may melt and blot.

•

Put printouts in a binder when storing them for a long period of time (two years or longer). (Printouts may discolor when they are stored for a long period of time.)

Paper Source

Loading and Outputting Paper

This printer is supplied with two paper sources: the paper cassette (Cassette 1) and multi-purpose tray. By installing the optional paper feeder (Cassette 2), up to 3 paper sources can be used.

● Paper Level Indicator

The paper cassette has a paper level indicator (A) that shows the amount of paper remaining in the cassette. If the cassette is full, the paper level indicator is at the top. Because the indicator moves down as the amount of paper drops, this gives a rough estimate of the amount of paper remaining.

Selecting a Paper Source

A paper source can be selected using the following procedure.

■ When printing from Windows or Macintosh

Select a paper source in the printer driver. Because the default setting for the paper selection in the printer driver is [Auto], if a paper source is speciﬁed by an application, the printer selects the paper source automatically and feeds paper from the paper source. Even when the paper source runs out of paper during printing, if paper of the same size is loaded in other paper source, the paper source is switched automatically and the paper is fed.

If you want to specify a paper source, select the paper source in the printer driver. For

more details on using the printer driver, see Help of the printer driver.

■ When printing from DOS or UNIX

When you are printing from DOS, UNIX, or other operating system on which you cannot use the printer driver, select a paper source using the control panel. The default setting for this printer's paper source is set to AUTO.

Select a paper source with the printer's control panel using the following procedure.

Press [Feeder Selection].

•

If paper of the same size is loaded in two or more paper sources when the paper source setting is speciﬁed to be selected automatically, paper is fed from the upper paper source regardless of the status of the paper source indicators. When the paper source runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches to other one in which paper of the same size is loaded.

Precautions for Handling the Multi-purpose Tray or Paper Cassette

Be careful of the following points when handling the multi-purpose tray or paper cassette.

IMPORTANT

•

Do not pull out the paper cassette while the printer is printing. This may result in paper jams or damage to the printer.

•

Do not touch the paper in the multi-purpose tray or pull it out during printing. This may result in a faulty operation.

•

Reﬁll the paper cassette after all the loaded paper runs out. If the cassette is reﬁlled when paper still remains in the cassette, it may result in misfeeds.

•

Do not put anything other than the printing paper on the multi-purpose tray. Also, do not press on top of or apply excessive force to the multi-purposes tray. This may result in damage to the multi-purpose tray.

•

Do not touch the black rubber pad (A) in the paper cassette. This may result in misfeeds.

Page 61

Loading and Outputting Paper

When outputting Legal size paper or other long-size paper to the face-down output tray, open the face-down output tray support to prevent the paper from hanging out of the tray. When you use the face-down output tray support, gently open it until it stops.

IMPORTANT

•

Do not touch the paper during automatic 2-sided printing until it is completely output to the face-down output tray. In automatic 2-sided printing, the paper is partially output once after printed on its surface and is fed again to be printed on its reverse side.

•

When performing automatic 2-sided printing, the printer can output paper only to the face-down output tray.

•

When printing envelopes, output them to the face-up output tray. If envelopes are output to the face-down output tray, this may result in misfeeds.

•

The surroundings of the face-down output tray are hot during printing or immediately after printing. When taking out of the paper or removing jammed paper, be careful not to touch the surroundings of the face-down output tray.

3-16

NOTE

The face-down output tray can hold up to approximately 250 sheets of plain paper (64 g/

). The paper capacity varies depending on the paper type and paper size. For more

details, see "Paper Capacity of the Output Trays," on p. 3-18.

Page 62

Face-up Output Tray

Printed paper is output to the face-up output tray on the rear of the printer unit with the printed side facing up. The face-up output tray is suitable to print transparencies, labels, or envelopes which tend to curl, since the printed paper is output ﬂattened.

IMPORTANT

•

Be sure to close the face-up output tray before performing automatic 2-sided printing.

•

The surroundings of the face-up output tray are hot during printing or immediately after printing. When taking out of the paper or removing jammed paper, be careful not to touch the surroundings of the face-up output tray.

Specifying the Size of the Paper in the Paper Cassette

This printer's paper cassette cannot automatically detect the paper size. Therefore, when you loaded paper in the paper cassette, you need to specify the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette using the control panel. When using standard size paper, specify its size. When loading custom size paper, specify CUSTOM SIZE or CUSTOM SIZER. The paper size setting for the paper cassette is set to "A4" by default.

Loading and Outputting Paper

Specify the paper size setting for the paper cassette using the following procedure.

IMPORTANT

•

Match the paper size speciﬁed in the SETUP menu of the printer and that speciﬁed in the printer driver. If they do not match, the message <PC LOAD "size"> appears. In this case, the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE are changed to those in the printer driver by pressing [Online], allowing you to continue printing.

•

When custom size paper is loaded, specify the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE as follows.

- When the paper is loaded in landscape orientation: CUSTOM SIZE

- When the paper is loaded in portrait orientation: CUSTOM SIZER

When you change the paper loaded in the paper cassette frequently, it is convenient if you set CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE to MIXED SIZES. When CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES, you do not need to specify the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE each time the different size paper is loaded. However, observe the following when specifying MIXED SIZES.

- Make sure that the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette matches the paper size speciﬁed in the printer driver before printing. If they do not match the printer may stop printing, displaying the message <41 CHK PAPER SZE>, or a paper jam may occur. Be sure to check if the paper size speciﬁed in the printer driver matches the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette before using the printer. However, if SPECIAL MODE J is set to ON, the printer prints without checking the paper size even when the paper size speciﬁed in the printer driver and the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette do not match. For more details, see "SPECIAL MODE J," on p. 5-36.

- When printing from UFR II Printer Driver, you can load paper either in portrait or landscape orientation. However, when printing custom size paper of its long edges

215.9 mm or less, load the paper in landscape orientation. When you are not using UFR II Printer Driver, load the paper in portrait orientation.
