You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.

Printable Area

The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4.0 mm (0.157") from the edges of the media.

Each media size has a specific printable area (the maximum area on which the machine can print clearly and without distortion).

This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the machine) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The printable area for all media sizes is the page size minus

4.0 mm (0.157") from all edges of the media.

Printable

a=4.0 mm (0.157")

" When printing in color on legal-size media, the following limitations

apply.

z The printable area is 339.6 (13.4") mm from the leading edge of

the paper. (However, there is a non-printable area up to 4.0 mm (0.157") from the leading edge.)

z The bottom margin is 16.0 mm (0.63").

Printable Area3-8

Envelopes

Envelopes can only be printed on their front sides (side where the recipient’s address is written). In addition, printing on the front side in the area overlapping the back flap cannot be guaranteed. The location of this area differs depending on the envelope type.

" The envelope print orientation is determined by your application. " With the Envelope DL size (long edge feeding), the nonprintable areas

on the left and right sides are 6 mm.

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to printable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the printable area for optimum results.

Loading Media

How do I load media?

Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray.

Note

Although this machine was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, or thick stock) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.

When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.

Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media misfeeds.

Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray)

For details on the types and sizes of media that can be printed from Tray 1, refer to “Print Media” on page 3-2.

Media Storage

 Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to

load it.

Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding.

 If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack-

aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

 Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above

35°C [95°F]), and dust

 Avoid leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright position.

Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.

About Toner Cartridges

Your machine uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the machine or on yourself.

" Install only new toner cartridges in your machine. If a used toner car-

tridge is installed, then toner remaining amount may not be accurate.

" The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with

cool water and a mild soap. If you get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off.

CAUTION

If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.

Keep toner cartridges:

 In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.

 In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).

 The maximum storage temperature is 35°C (95°F) and the maximum stor-

age humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for about one hour before use.

 Level during handling and storage.

Do not hold, stand or store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.

 Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.
