P
RINT MEDIA
Print media that can be used with your printer includes standard
copier bond paper, certain types of envelope and certain types of
transparency.
P
APER
The best type of paper to choose is standard 80-90g/m² bond
paper designed for use in plain paper copiers and laser type
printers. Pre-printed stationery, such as letterhead paper can
also be used as long as the pre-printed parts can withstand a
combination of heat and pressure. Experience will determine the
suitability or otherwise of particular pre-printed stationery.
Avoid using paper that is damaged in any way, such as folded,
perforated, torn or stapled sheets, and avoid feeding the same
sheet twice to print on both sides. Also avoid using very glossy or
heavily embossed paper.
If the printed page shows signs of fading, streaking or erratic
marks, the problem may be cleared by generating a drum
cleaning page as follows:
1. Start the Status Monitor for the printer.
2. Select the Printer Setup tab and click on the Printer
Menu button.
3. Select the Test Print tab and click on the Cleaning button.
4. Using the Manual Feed Tray insert a sheet of A4 plain
paper between the paper guides, then click the OK
button.
5. The printer grips the paper and prints a cleaning page.
6. If subsequent printing appears faded or uneven, try
replacing the toner cartridge.
Store paper flat and sealed in its original wrapping until required
for use. Paper left out tends to absorb moisture from the air. This
makes it prone to curling and also less able to retain a permanent
image.
Print media > 8
The paper tray can hold up to about 150 sheets of standard bond
paper. The manual feeder takes just one sheet at a time. Take
just enough paper from its wrapping, fan the stack to ensure all
sheets are separated from each other, then tap the stack flush
again before loading.
Load pre-printed stationery top edge first and face down into the
paper tray or face up into the manual feeder.
If plain paper seems to curl excessively during the print process,
try turning the stack over in the input tray. You may have been
printing on the wrong side.
L
OADING PAPER IN THE TRAY
1. Remove up to 150 sheets from their wrapping and
carefully reseal the wrapping to preserve the rest of your
paper in good condition.
2. Fan the paper stack to ensure all sheets are properly
separated, then tap the stack flush again before loading.
3. Raise the paper tray cover.
4. Adjust guides to width of paper stack. They should just
touch the sides of the stack but not grip it tightly.
Print media > 9
5. Slide the paper stack fully into the tray as far as it will go,
print side downwards, top edge into the printer, and
ensure the guides just touch each side of the stack.
6. Close the tray cover.
L
OADING PAPER IN THE MANUAL FEEDER
1. In your computer’s Print dialogue, click the printer
[Properties] button to display the Printing Preferences
dialogue.
2. On the Setup tab, choose the correct size for your paper,
set the source to [Manual] (you can click on the manual
feeder in the printer graphic if you prefer).
3. On the Job Options tab, set the correct Orientation for
your document. [Landscape] rotates the page image 90°
left.
4. Click [OK] to close the Printing Preferences dialogue
and click [OK] to close the Print dialogue and print the
document.
The paper feed light will flash, prompting you to load the
paper. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper.
They should lightly touch each side edge of the paper but
not grip it tightly.
Print media > 10
5. Load the sheet to be printed, top edge first, print side up,
into the feeder and push it gently until you feel slight
resistance. The printer will advance the paper a short
distance and retain it and the Load Paper light will stop
flashing.
When the page image has been processed the paper will be
drawn into the printer and your printed page will be ejected
into the output tray.
NOTE
Pages are ejected face up. For multipage documents you may
want to choose reverse print order in your print dialogue if
your application offers it.
T
RANSPARENCIES AND LABELS
Choose transparencies designed for use in plain paper
monochrome copiers, as they are required to withstand high
temperature and pressure. These usually have a print side which
feels slightly rougher (matt finish) than the back, which is a little
more glossy.
CAUTION!
Do not use transparencies designed only for hand
marking on an overhead projector. These will melt
inside the printer and cause serious damage.
Transparencies tend to feed more reliably in the manual feeder
than when stacked in the input tray.
Choose sheets of labels designed for use in laser type printers or
copiers. The labels should cover the entire sheet, leaving no part
of the backing sheet exposed, otherwise they will tend to peel off
inside the printer.
L
OADING TRANSPARENCIES AND LABELS
It is recommended to use the manual feeder for this type of
media, as described earlier for paper.
