1. Introduction
Types of paper to avoid
1. Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
2. Letterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller
and cause damage. Any pre-printed paper should use inks compatible with 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.
3. Damaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, etc.
4. Multipart forms or carbonless paper
5. Paper with a 25% or more cotton and/or fiber content
6. Ink jet paper (It may transfer onto the fuser roller and cause damage.)
* We do not recommend the use of 1 05 g/m
paper feed problems may be experienced.

All about media
• The recommended media is as follows:
Letter/Legal: Hammermill LASERPRINT 90 g/m
A4: NEUSIEDLER COLOR COPY 90 g/m
For the finest resolution and the brightest, most consistent colours, use a high grade laser paper. The
weight of the paper should be 60-105 g/m

• Labels
Use only full 8.5" × 11" or A4 label sheets rath er tha n die-cu t label sheets t hrough t he mult i-purp ose tray.
Die-cut labels may peel off from their backing and stick inside the imaging unit or fuser.
• Envelopes
This printer prints black text only using the following high quality #10 laser envelopes with diagonal
steams. Do not insert more than one envelope at a time.
• A thin, sharply creased leading edge.

• Paper weight of 90 g /m
(24 lbs.)
• Flat and free of curls, wrinkles, nicks, etc.
• Make sure that the media cassettes are free of dust. Dust an d dirt in a media cassette can be transferred
to the paper or transparency, resulting in poor print quality.
• Handle paper and transparencies with both hands at the edges to avoid creases and fingerprints, which
can result in poor print quality.
• Store paper and transparencies in the original dust-free package.
• To prevent transparencies or paper from sticking together, fan them before loading into the appropriate
media cassette.
• If the optional paper feeder is used: A media cassette can be installed in any of the three tray slots; however, the transparency tray should only be inserted in the upper and middle tray slots.
Margins and Print Area
When the printer places an image on media, the image (print area) is a bit smaller than the media size.
Page margins adjustment m ay be needed in an application software to m atch the print area.
The following table lists the page sizes, the maximum print areas, and the margins for the media sizes supported in KPDL emulation, 600dpi.

1.3 Control Panel Overview
The printer has the following displays and keys. Simple explanation the displays follows. For a full information on using them, refer to the printer’s User’s Manual (also on the CD-ROM).
1.3.1 Message Display
The message display displays the printer’s operational mode. Messages which are displayed and their
meanings are as follows:
Message Meaning
Self test

FormFeed TimeOut
Interface Indicator
The interface indicator indicates the interface over which data is currently being received or was last
received. The current interface is indicated by one of the following messages:
The printer is self-testing after power-up and is not ready to print. This message appears only
at power-up.
The printer is warming up and is not ready to print.
The printer is ready to print.
The printer is processing print data or in the middle of printing.
The last page remains unprinted. The printer waits awhile and eventually generates a form
feed allowing the last page to be printed. (The length of time depends on the form feed timeout
setting.) The printing will begin immediately when the
card is being used this can indicate the printer is waiting for data to be written.
An automatic form feed has been generated.
