Print Media Guidelines

Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps you to avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to help you make print media selections, how to care for the print media, and how to load it in the tray 1, optional tray 2, or MPF.

Paper

For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.

When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the paper accordingly. See "Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray" and "Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for detailed loading instructions.

Paper Characteristics

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

Weight

The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 24lb bond) grain long in the DADF and from 60 to 105g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long in the paper tray. Paper lighter than 60 g/m

(16 lb) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) long grain paper.

For duplex printing, use 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb bond) paper.

Curl

Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.

Smoothness

The degree of smoothness of the paper directly affects the print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness should be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.

Moisture Content

The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.

Grain Direction

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain, running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper.

For 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers heavier than 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the MPF, 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended.

Fiber Content

Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton possess characteristics that can result in degraded paper handling.

Transparencies

Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities:

Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.

Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, as this can cause poor print quality. Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent the sheets from sticking together. Load one transparency into the MPF.

Selecting Transparencies

The printer can print directly on transparencies which have been designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depends on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 180° C (356° F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Envelopes

Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities. See

"Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for instructions on loading an envelope.

When printing on envelopes:

To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.

For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight for the MPF as long as the cotton content is 25 percent or less.

Use only new, undamaged envelopes. For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:

- Have excessive curl or twist

- Are stuck together or damaged in any way

- Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing

- Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

- Have an interlocking design

- Have postage stamps attached

- Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position

- Have nicked edges or bent corners

- Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.

Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes. Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. The end of the

envelope with the stamp area enters the MPF first.

See "Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for instructions on loading an envelope.

NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to open

and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially helpful for DL, and C5 size envelopes.

A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

Labels

Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet at a time in the MPF.

Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity:

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.

Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.

Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.

Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

Card Stock

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See "Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications" for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print media.

Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity:

Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause print media handling or jamming problems.

Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated. Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.

Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.

We recommend the use of grain long card stock.

Storing Print Media

Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality:

For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21° C (70° F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor. If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat

surface so the edges do not buckle or curl. Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications

The following tables provide information on standard and optional sources, including the print media sizes that you can select from the paper size menu and supported weights.

NOTE: If you use a print media size not listed, select the next larger size.

Selecting an Output Location

The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up).

To use the output tray, ensure that the rear door is closed. To use the rear door, open it.

NOTE: If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the

rear door.

NOTE: To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the printer is printing.

Printing to the Output Tray (Face down)

The output tray collects printed paper face-down, in the correct order. The tray should be used for most print jobs.

If necessary, expand the paper output extension to keep the print media from falling off the output tray.

Printing to the Rear Door (Face up)

Using the rear door, the paper comes out of the printer face up.

Printing from the MPF to the rear door provides a straight paper path. Using the rear door might improve the output quality with special materials.

To use the rear door:

Open the rear door by pulling it.

CAUTION: The fuser area inside of the rear door of your printer becomes very hot when in

You can load approximately 250 sheets of plain paper in the tray 1 or the optional tray 2. If you purchased the optional tray 2, see "Installing an Optional Tray 2" for installing instructions. For faxing, you can use A4,

letter or legal paper only. For copying or printing, you can use many different types and sizes of paper; see

"Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications".

Follow these instructions to load print media into the tray 1 or optional tray 2. These trays are loaded the same way.

Pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down.1.

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".

NOTE: If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the MPF.

NOTE: You can load 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.

Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)

Use the MPF 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 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) and the maximum size is 8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm).

Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging from 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) to Legal,

8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm), the largest size acceptable, and weighing between 16 lb and 43 lb.

NOTE: Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on "Paper Specifications" to

avoid paper jams and print quality problems.

NOTE: Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes and labels before loading them into the MPF.

To use the MPF:

Open the MPF and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.1.

If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.2.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up.3.

Depending on the paper type you are using, keep the following loading method:

Envelopes: load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. Transparencies: load them with the print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the

printer first. Labels: load them with the print size up and the top short edge entering the printer first. Preprinted paper: load with the design face up, top edge toward the printer. Card stock: load them with the print side up and the short edge entering the printer first. Pre printed paper: the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge toward the

printer.

Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the print material. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the MPF. See "Setting the Paper Type" for copying and faxing or "Paper Tab" for Computer printing.

NOTE: The settings made from the printer driver override the settings on the operator panel.

CAUTION: Ensure that to open the rear door when you print on transparencies. If not, they

may tear while exiting the machine.

After printing, fold away the paper support extension and close the MPF.6.

Tips on using the MPF

Load only one size of print material at a time in the MPF. To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the MPF. This also applies to other

types of print materials. Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the MPF first and be placed in the

center of the tray. Always load only the print materials specified in "Print Media Guidelines" to avoid paper jams and print

quality problems. Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the MPF. When you print on 3 by 5 in. (76 by 127 mm) sized media on the MPF, open the rear door for a

straight paper path to avoid paper jams. Ensure that to open the rear door when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting

the machine.

Tray Behavior

Tray Linking

Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of print media in multiple sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one tray is not available for paper empty or mismatch, the printer will use the next available linked tray to feed print media for the printing.

For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2, the printer selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds print media from the next linked tray.

By linking all trays (standard and optional), you effectively create a single source with a capacity of up to 550 sheets.

Make sure you load the same size and type of print media in each tray in order to link the trays. Set the paper size and type for each tray.

To disable tray linking you can either choose unique paper size/type for each tray or using operator panel to disable tray linking.

NOTE: You can use this feature in print, copy, and fax job.

NOTE: Do not open the tray 1, while the machine is printing with tray 2. Because paper jam might

occur.

Press Scroll ( or ) to highlight Setup and then press Select ( ).1. Press Scroll ( or ) to highlight Tray Behaviour and then press Select ( ).2. Press Scroll ( or ) to highlight Tray Linking and then press Select ( ).3. Press Scroll ( or ) to On for enable and Off to disable tray linking and press Select ( ).4. Press Cancel ( ) to return to the Standby mode.5.

Substitute Size

This setting is used to determine whether the printer can substitute with another paper size when the requested paper size is not available in any of the input trays. The Printer will substitute A4/Letter, A5/Statement, B5/ISO B5, and Folio/Oficio. For example if A4 is requested paper size and there is no A4 paper in any of the input source then the printer will print on Letter size paper, if available.

Substitute size set to Off means no substitution is allowed for the requested paper size. This option is not applied for received fax printing.

NOTE: You can use this feature in print and copy job.

MPF

MPF can be configured to behave in Tray Mode or in Bypass Mode by setting the Configure MPF menu in the operator panel.

Bypass Mode

In this mode the printer pulls the paper from MPF first unless it is closed or empty. MPF gets the highest priority and pulls whatever media present in the MPF.

NOTE: You can use this feature in print and copy job.

Tray Mode

In this mode the MPF is treated as another paper tray. Instead of treating MPF as first preference paper source, printer pulls paper from the tray that matches the size and type. The first preference goes to the default source.

(20 lb) documents for one job. Using the document glass, you can load one sheet at a time.

NOTE: To get the best scan quality, especially for color or gray scale images, use the document glass

instead of the DADF.

When you use the DADF:

Do not load documents smaller than 5.59 by 5.83 in. (142 by 148 mm) or larger than 8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm).

Do not attempt to feed the following types of documents:

- Coated paper

- Onion skin or thin paper

- Wrinkled or creased paper

- Curled or rolled paper

- Torn paper

- Corner damage caused by excessive stapling/removal. Remove all staples and paper clips before loading documents. Ensure that any glue, ink or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading documents. Do not load documents containing different sizes or weights of paper. Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies or documents having other unusual characteristics.
