Introduction > 11
When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the
printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media and
transparency/transfer media. When used in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray,
the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper
around curves in the paper path and enables feeding of up to 250g/m² media.

HANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd or 3rd tray if you have one,
or multi purpose tray) you can set the printer to automatically switch to the other tray when
the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function
is enabled in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled
in the Print Menu. (See “Menu functions” on page 42.)
M
ULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up
to 250
g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures
that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths from 76mm to 215.9mm and lengths from
127.0mm to 356mm.
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 90g/m² and
128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.
F
ACE DOWN STACKER
The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 350 sheets of 80g/m²
standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 188g/m².
Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on
top, facing down).
Paper recommendations > 13
F
ACE UP STACKER
The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened and the tray extension
pulled out when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless
of driver settings.
The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle
stocks up to 250
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than
188g/m².

> Adjust the rear stopper (a) and paper guides (b) to the size of paper being used.
CAUTION!
IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (c) to the size of paper being used
(A4 in the above example).
To prevent paper jams:
> Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper.
> Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the type of paper stock.
> Do not load damaged paper.
> Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same time.
> Close the paper tray gently.

> Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described below for the
2nd tray).
NOTE
> If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st (upper) tray, you
can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during printing to reload it. However, if
you are printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper)
tray. This will cause a paper jam.
> For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (a) is closed
(the paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is
approximately 350 sheets, depending on paper weight.
> For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (a) is open and
the paper support (b) is extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and
tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.
> Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card stock, etc.).

OW TO ACCESS THE DRIVER SCREENS
Most of the features described are accessed via the printer driver screens. How you access
them depends on your computer and its operating system.
The driver windows are dialogue boxes offering a wide range of choices about how you want
to print your documents. Within Windows these dialogue boxes are tabbed, within Mac the
dialogue boxes use pop-up menus.
NOTE
Example driver screenshots are used throughout this manual and as such may
not represent the driver screens for your machine. Some of the features
shown on the example screenshots may not be available on your machine.
There are two ways to access the driver features from within Windows:
1. Directly from the Windows “Printers” folder (“Printers and Faxes” folder in
Windows XP and Vista, “Devices and Printers” folder in Windows 7).
If you choose this method any changes you make will become the driver defaults. This
means they will remain active for all your applications unless you specifically change
them from within the application’s Print dialogue.
2. From your application’s Print dialogue.
If you choose this method any changes you make will usually only last for as long as
the particular application is running, or until you change them again. In most cases,
once you quit the application the driver defaults will return.
NOTE
Settings made from the printer’s own control panel are the printer defaults.
They determine how your printer will behave unless you specify otherwise
from your computer.
The driver defaults override the printer defaults.
Application Print settings override both the printer defaults and the driver
defaults.

RINTING PREFERENCES IN
When you choose to print your document from a Windows
application program a print dialogue box appears. This
dialogue usually specifies the name of the printer on
which you will print your document. Next to the printer
name is a Properties button.
When you click Properties a new window opens which
contains a short list of the printer settings available in the
driver, which you can choose for this document.
The window which opens when you click Properties
depends on which printer driver has been installed.

OSTSCRIPT EMULATION
1. Page orientation sets portrait (tall) or landscape
(wide) page orientation. The “rotated” rotates the
paper through 90 degrees anticlockwise.
2. Pages can be printed in forward or reverse order. If
using the face down (top) paper stacker, forward
order is usually appropriate to ensure that pages are
stacked in numerical order. If using the face up
(rear) paper stacker, reverse order would normally
stack your pages in numerical order.

3. You can specify how many pages to print on a sheet.
Pages will be scaled to fit the number you choose.
4. Advanced options are also available, such as how to download TrueType fonts, and
whether advanced options such as booklet printing are available.
The printer driver contains extensive on-line help for these items to help you make the
most appropriate choices.

ETTING THE DRIVER DEVICE OPTIONS
This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can utilize all of the hardware
features installed in your printer.
Accessories such as additional paper trays will only be usable if the printer driver on your
computer knows they are there.
In some cases the hardware configuration of your printer is automatically detected when
the driver is installed. However, it is advisable to at least check whether all of the available
hardware features are listed in the driver.
This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra hardware features to your printer
after the drivers have been installed and set up.
Remember that if your machine is shared between users on different computers, the driver
must be adjusted on each user’s machine.
