Printing, copying, faxing, and scanning
This chapter provides examples of typical jobs, as well as information on avoiding jams, printing
certain types of jobs, and canceling a print job from the control panel.
Tips on storing media
There are two types of media — scan media and print media. Scan media is what is placed in the
automatic document feeder (ADF) or on the scanner flatbed. Some types of scan media cannot be
run through the ADF, so it has to be placed on the scanner flatbed.
Print media, which is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes, is loaded into print
media sources which are the trays and the multipurpose feeder. Card stock, transparencies, labels,
and envelopes are sometimes referred to as specialty media.
Store your print media properly. For more information, see Storing print media in Media
specifications and guidelines.
Scanning information
Avoiding jams when scanning
Place scan media in the appropriate place — either the automatic document feeder (ADF) or the
scanner flatbed. If y ou are unsure if your document will cause a jam in the ADF, we recommend that
you scan it using the scanner flat bed.
The ADF only accommodates paper in the fol lowing sizes: A4, A5, JIS B5, folio, letter, legal,
executive, statement. The ADF can handle paper weights up to 60–120 g/m
You may place up to 50 sheets of 20 lb paper in the ADF.
Some tips for scan media to a void jams in the ADF are:
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled scan media.
•Do not overload the ADF. The ADF can accommodate 50 sheets of 20 lb paper.
•Do not force a stack of scan media under the stack height limiter.

(16–32 lb).

•Paper with clip or staple attached
•Paper with ink not totally dry
•Paper with inconsistent thickness, such as envelopes
•Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears
•Paper that is too large or too small (use the scanner flatbed instead)
•Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape
•Paper with perforations on its side
•Tracing paper, coated paper, carbonless paper
•Items other than papers, such as cloth, metal, or over head projector (OHP) film
•Notched paper
•Photographic paper
•Very thin paper

Printing information
Avoiding jams when printing
If you select appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) for your MFP,
you’re helping to have trouble-free printing. See Print media guidelines for more information.
Note: We recommend that you try a limited sample of any print media you are considering
using with the MFP before purchasing large quantities.
By carefully selecting print medi a and loading it properly, you should be ab le t o av o id most jams . See
the follo w ing for instructions on loading and using print media:
•Loading the standard tray or the optional 250-sheet tray
•Loading the optional 500-sheet tray
•Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
If you do experience a jam, see Clearing jams for instructions.
Printing information
33
Printing, copying, faxing, and scanning
The followi ng hints can help you av oid jams:
•Use only recommended print media. See Print media guidelines for more information.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
•Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If jams do occur with print media, try
feeding one sheet at a time through the multipurpose feeder.
•Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the
maximum height indicated by the labels in the sources.
•Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
•Make sure the recommended print side is face down when loading all trays, and the
recommended print side is face up when loading the multipurpose feeder.
•Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Storing print media for more
information.
•Do not remove trays during a print job.
•Push all trays in firmly after loading them.
•Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size print media y ou have
loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed too tig htly against the stack of print media.
•Card stock must fed from the multipurpose feeder and exit to the rear output bin. See Using
the rear output bin for more information.
•Envelopes may be sent to the standard output bin; however, if the envelopes exit to the rear
output bin there is less curl.
•Make sure all cables that connect to the MFP are correctly attached, so they do not interfere
with the rear output bin. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

Print Held Jobs—using the Print and Hold function
Print Held Jobs accesses the Print and Hold function. When sending a job to the MFP, you can
specify in the driver that you want the MFP to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print
the job, you must go to the MFP and use the control panel menus to identify whi ch held j ob y ou w ant
to print. (See Using the MFP control pa nel and menus for information on using the control panel.)
Note: All held jobs (Reserve Print, Repeat Print, Verify Print, and Confidential) may be
deleted if the MFP requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
Confidential jobs and Verify Print jobs are deleted from MFP memory once all
copies are printed.
Selecting a user name
All confidential and held jobs have a user name associated with them. If you are on a network, the
user name is the same as your computer name on the network. If you are locally attached to the
MFP, you must create a user name in the print driver dialog when you send the job.
To access all held jobs or confidential jobs, you must first select your user name from a list of user
names for print jobs . When the li st is presented, use the up and do wn arrows to scroll thr ough the list.
Press ✓ once you find your user name for your job.
Selecting the type of Held Job
There are four types of jobs you can hold:
•Confidential Print Jobs—print a confidential job when you can be at the MFP to retr ieve it
•Reserve Print Jobs—dela y printing a job
•Repeat Print Jobs—request extr a copies of a job at a later time
•Verify Print Jobs—verify one copy before pr inting additional copies
Confidential jobs
When you send a job to the MFP, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the
driver. The PIN must be four digits using the n umbers 1–6. The job is t hen held i n MFP memory until
you enter the same four-digit PIN from the control panel and choose to print or delete the job. This
ensures that the job does not print until you ret rieve it, and no one else using the MFP can print the
job.

If you send a Reserve Print job , the MFP does not print the job immediately, but stores the job in
memory so you can print the job later. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the MFP requires extra
memory to process additional held jobs.
See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.
Repeat Print
If you send a Repeat Print job, the MFP prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in
memory so you can print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job
remains stored in memory.
See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the MFP prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested
from the driver in MFP memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfact o ry
before printing the remaining copi es.
See Printing and deleting held jobs if you need help printing the additional copies stored in

Media specifications and guidelines
This chapter provides specif ications for each type of media that can be used with your MFP.
There are two types of media — scan media and print media. Scan media is what is placed in the
automatic document feeder (ADF) or on the scanner flatbed. Some types of scan media cannot be
run through the ADF, so it has to be placed on the scanner flatbed.
Print media, which is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes, is loaded into print
media sources which are the trays and the multipurpose feeder. Card stock, transparencies, labels,
and envelopes are sometimes referred to as specialty media.

Storing print media
Use the follo wing guidelines f or proper print media storag e. These help av oid paper f eeding proble ms
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, make sure 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.
Print media guidelines
Selecting the appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, envelopes, paper labels, and card
stock) for your MFP helps you avoid printing problems.
The following sections contain guidelines for choosing the correct print media.
Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grai n long paper. Try a sample of any
paper you are considering using with the MFP before buying large quantities.
When loading paper , note the recommended print side on the paper package, and l oad paper
accordingly. See the following topics for detailed loading instructions:
•Loading the standard tray or the optional 250-sheet tray
•Loading the optional 500-sheet tray
•Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
The following papers are not recommended for use wit h your MFP:
•Paper with a rough or heavily textured surface
Print media specifications and guidelines
52
Media specifications and guidelines
•Coated papers, such as erasable bond
•Preprinted papers manufact ured with chemicals that may contaminate the MFP
•Multiple-part forms
•Synthetic papers
•Thermal papers
2
•Recycled paper having a weight less than 75 g/m
Letterhead
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F)
without melting or releasing hazar dous emissions . Use inks that are no t aff ected b y th e resin in ton er
or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements;
latex inks migh t not.
Printing on letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead you have
chosen is acceptable for laser MFPs.
(20 lb)
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when
loading letterhead in the print media sources.

Transparencies
You can feed tr ansparencies from the standard 250-sheet tray or the multipurpose feeder. Try a
sample of any transparenci es y ou ar e consi dering using with th e MFP bef or e buying large quantities.
Print media specifications and guidelines
53
Media specifications and guidelines
Do not load transparencies in the optional 250-sheet or 500-sheet drawer. To load transparencies in
the multipurpose feeder, see page 75 of Using and loading the multipurpose feeder.
When printing on transparencies:
•Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the print driver , MarkVision™
Professional, the control panel, or the Web pages to avoid damaging your MFP.
•Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to
withstand temperatures of 175°C (347°F) wit hout melting, discoloring, or r eleasing hazardous
emissions.
•To prevent print quality problems , avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any env elopes you are
considering using with the MFP before buying large quantities. See page 76 of Using and loading
the multipurpose feeder for loading an envelope instructions.
Print media specifications and guidelines
54
Media specifications and guidelines
When printing on envelopes:
•Set the Paper Size to MP Feeder Size sub-menu from the control panel, MarkVision
Professional, or the Web page. Set the Paper Type to Envelope in the MP Feeder Type sub-
menu from the control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages. Select the size
and type from the print driver.

•Use envelopes made from 75 to 105 g/m
fewer print media jams, do not use envelopes that:
–Have excessive curl.
–Are stuck together.
–Are damaged in any way.
–Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
–Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
–Have postage stamps attached.
–Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
•Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•Adjust the right paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
•Load envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return
address to enter the MFP first. See page 76 of Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
for loading an envelope instructions.
•If you are feeding self-sealing envelopes, open the rear output bin door so envelopes feed
straight out the back of the MFP. The rear output bin holds about 10 envelopes.
(20 to 28 lb) bond paper. F or best perf ormance and
Labels
Your MFP can print on many labels designed for use with laser MFPs. These labels are supplied in
letter size and A4 size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be
able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large
quantity.
When printing on labels:
•Set the Paper Type to Labels from the print driver, MarkVision Professional, the control
panel, or the Web pages.
•Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
•Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your MFP and your cartridge with adhesive, and could
void your MFP and cartridge warranties.
•Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of th e edge of the label , of the per f or ations , or bet ween die cuts of the label.
Print media specifications and guidelines
55
Media specifications and guidelines
•Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesiv e a t least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your MFP and could void your warranty.
•If zone coating of the adhesiv e is not possib le , a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be remov ed on
the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
•Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside
the MFP.
•Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
•Do not use labels that hav e exposed adhesive.
MFP maintenance when printing on labels
After continuously printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels (or each time you replace the print
cartridge), complete the following step s to maint ain MFP feeding reliability:
1Print 5 sheets of paper.
2Wait approximately 5 seconds.
3Print 5 more sheets of paper.
Card stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the orientation of paper fibers
and texture, that can significantly affect the print quality.
You may only print card stock from the multipurpose feeder. Card stock must always exit to the rear
output bin.
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large
quantity.
See Specifications for pri nt media for information on the preferred weight of print media.
When printing on card stock:
•Set the Paper T ype to Card Stoc k fr om the print driver,
panel, or the Web pages.
•Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the
MFP. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components in the MFP.
•Do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. It may cause print media jams.
•We recommend the use of grain short card stock.

Using the duplex feature for printing
Duplex printing (or tw o-sided printing) lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For paper
sizes that are acceptable for duplex printing, see Duplex unit specifications.
Note: Print duplex jobs only on paper weighing 16–24 lb.
Select Duplex from your print driver to print individual duple x jobs.
Warning: As the MFP processes a duplex print job, it partially ejects a sheet to the standard
output bin, and then pulls the sheet back inside. Do not touch the sheet while it is
partially ejected. Doing so could damage the MFP or cause a jam. Remo v e pages
only after they have fully exited the MFP to a bin.
For more inform ation on bins, see Using the output bins.
Duplex printing on letterhead
When duplex printing on letterhead fr om the multipurpose f eeder, load it with the logo face down and
entering the MFP last.
When duplex printing on lette rhead fro m the tr ays, load it with the logo face up and f ac ing to ward the
rear of the MFP.
Using Duplex Bind
When you select duplex bind printing in the print driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Menu, you
must select either long edge or short edge binding. The purpose of Duplex Bind is to define the way
duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is
oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages).
