RINTING BARCODING USING

Algorithm generated barcodes are printed by firmware that uses
special PCL font selection commands.

Benefits:

• Any size barcode generation

• Automatically generates checksums

• Automatically add stop and start characters

I

NTELLIGENT BARCODING

Unlike some barcode solutions, which merely add fonts to a PC or
printer, this firmware actually extends the PCL5 language. Barcode
formatting, error detection and checksum calculation are performed
by the firmware, reducing the load on the host and the network.
Barcodes can be printed in almost any size or rotation, bar width and
height. The printing of HRI text is user selectable.

Other features that the user can select are:

• Barcode symbology

• Height of the barcode

• Rotation of the barcode

• HRI select or de-select

• HRI placement

• Width of bars

• Wide to narrow ratio of bars

PAPER CHARACTERISTICS AND
CAUTION ON USAGE

Note: As output transp arencies may
stick together, remove the
transparencies from the output tray
after about 20 sheets, and then fan
them to lower their temperature.

Note*: For rough or uneven media
such as envelope, choose Thick3.
When using Thick3, duplex is not
available.

B6250/B6500 User’s Guide> 47

Important:

• The reverse side of the envelope cannot be printed on.

• It may take a very long time (maximum 60 seconds) to print

custom size Thick 2 paper.

NOTE

> For details on special media, such as heavyweight not

listed in the table, contact service.

> For details on printing transparencies and envelopes, refer

to “ Printing” (P. 22).

U

V302)

• Paper exclusively for ink-jet printer use

• Paper that is too thick or thin

• Paper that has been printed on before (including color

S

TORING AND HANDLING PAPER

Even for suitable papers, poor storage conditions may lead to a
change in the paper quality, paper jams, poor print quality and
machine breakdown. Take note of the following points when storing
paper:

• Store paper in the following locations: Temperature of 10 -

30 °C with a relative humidity of 30 - 65%

• After opening a ream of paper, use the original cover sheets

to wrap up the paper not used and store it in a cabinet or a
location with low humidity.

• Do not let the paper stand but store it in a flat location.

• Ensure that the paper is stored properly without being bent

or curled.

• Store the paper in a location not exposed to direct sunlight.

OADING PAPER

L

OADING PAPER IN A PAPER TRAY

Refer to:
Paper type and size that can be loaded in paper tray: “ Usable Paper”
(P. 45)

1. Place the paper tray on a flat
surface and remove the lid (if
installed).

B6250/B6500 User’s Guide> 49

2. If the base plate of the paper tray
is raised, push it down.

3. When loading paper longer than A4
size, slide the left and right lock
tabs in the paper tray outwards to
unlock them.

4. Hold the grip of the paper tray and
pull its extendable part to the front
until it reaches its maximum.

5. Squeeze the length guide and slide
it to the desired paper size (1).
Squeeze the right width guide and
slide it to the desired paper size
(2).

6. Load the paper with the side to be
printed facing up and with all four
corners aligned.

B6250/B6500 User’s Guide> 50

Important:

• Do not place paper over the right width guide.

• Do not load paper exceeding the maximum fill line or the

maximum capacity allowed.

• Align the right width guide with the paper width correctly . If

the right width guide is not in place, the paper will not be
properly fed and this may cause paper jams.

7. Close the lid of the paper tray and push the tray completely
into the printer.

Important:

• The lid of the tray must be firmly closed. If not, the paper

might become misaligned.

8. Depending on the types and sizes of the loaded paper, you
need to configure settings on the control panel. Change the
paper type when non-plain paper such as recycled paper,
heavyweight paper or transparencies are loaded. Configure
the paper size when custom size paper is loaded.

Refer to:

• Paper type and size that can be loaded: “Usable Paper” on

page 45

• Setting paper size: “Setting Custom Paper Sizes” on page 52

• Setting paper type: “Setting Paper Types” on page 54

A

UTOMATIC TRAY SELECTION

If you display the properties dialog box of the printer driver and
select a paper type for [Specify Paper Type] and [Auto] for [Paper
Source] on the [Tray/Output] tab for printing, this printer will be
able to automatically detect paper trays loaded with the selected
paper type and then among them, select the tray that matches the
size and orientation of the document to be printed. This feature is
known as automatic tray selection.

If there are multiple trays that match those criteria for automatic
tray selection, a tray is selected based on the lowest tray number.
For example, if tray 1 and tray 2 match the criteria, tray 1 will be
selected.

B6250/B6500 User’s Guide> 51

NOTE

> If there are no paper trays that match the automatic tray

selection, an error message prompting for replenishment
of paper will be displayed. You can configure the printer
not to display this message but to automatically select a
nearest or larger paper size of the document for printing.
(Substitute Tray)

> If paper runs out during printing, a paper tray containing

paper of the same size and orientation of the paper used
for printing will be selected to continue printing
(automatic tray switching).

> If there are no paper trays that match the paper types

that are set for [Specify Paper Type], a message
prompting to confirm printing on another paper type will
be displayed. Press the <FEED/SELECT> button to print
on paper of another type or press <CANCEL> to cancel
the job.

Refer to:

• Specify Paper Type: Online Help for the printer driver

S

ETTING CUSTOM PAPER SIZES

To print on custom size paper loaded in trays 1 to 4, you must set
the paper size on the control panel.

You may also need to set it on the printer driver, depending on the
paper size.

This section explains how to set the size on the control panel.

B6250/B6500 User’s Guide> 52

Important:

• When setting the paper size on the printer driver and control

panel, be sure to specify the same size as the actual paper
used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause machine
failure. This is especially true if you configure a bigger size
when using a narrow width paper.

NOTE

> To return to standard paper size settings, select [Auto] in

step below. This printer will automatically detect the size
and orientation of the loaded paper.

1. Press the <MENU> button to display the Menu screen.

2. Press the < > or < > button until [Media Menu] is

displayed, then press the < > button.

3. Press the < > or < > button until [Tray X Auto Sense] is
displayed (X = the tray number you wish to set), then press
the < > button. Set Auto Sense to OFF.

4. Press the < > or < > button until [Tray X Paper Size] is
displayed (X = the tray number you wish to set). Then press
the < > button.

5. Press the < > or < > button until the desired paper size is
displayed, Then press the < > button.

OR
Press the < > button to display [Custom], then press the

<SELECT> button.

6. Press the < > or < > button to display [Portrait (Y) Size] or
[Landscape (X) Size], then press the < > button.
Enter values for the paper size to be used by pressing the
< > or < > button

7. Press the <SELECT> button.

8. Press the <CANCEL> button to exit the menus.

ETTING PAPER TYPES

"Media Type" selects the type of material to print on.
Examples: Plain paper, Transparency, and Card stock. Ensure that
the selected media type is loaded into the selected input tray. Some
applications may override this setting.

MEDIA WEIGHT

Plain 68-105 gsm
Thin 64-67 gsm
Thick1 106-159 gsm
Thick2 160-216 gsm
Thick3* 106-216 gsm
*For rough or uneven media such as

envelope, choose Thick3. When
using Thick3, duplex is not available.

Settings on the control panel are required for the types of paper
loaded in trays 1 to 4. For accurate image quality processing, refer
to the following table and set the paper types on the control panel.

Important:

• Paper type settings must match those of the actual paper

loaded in the trays. Otherwise, image quality cannot be
processed accurately. Toner may not fuse properly on the
paper, resulting in dirty and poor quality printouts.

• Changes in paper type settings on the printer driver are not

reflected in this printer.

Refer to:

• Paper sizes that can be loaded: “Usable Paper” on page 45
