P
APER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and
sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of
media, and explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard weight 75 – 90g/m² paper
designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:
>M-Real Data Copy 80g/m²
>Color Copy by Mondi
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery
CAUTION!
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing
process.Continued use of pre-printed stationery may cause the
paper feed performance to degrade over time and paper jams may
occur. Clean the paper feed rollers as described on page 35.
Glossy paper
CAUTION!
Glossy paper must be of the type designed for use in
electrophotographic printers and must not melt, change in quality,
or warp during the printer’s thermal fusing process.
Printer and paper overview > 13
NOTE
Always print a sample to check the output results are satisfactory.
Printing on glossy paper may have unexpected results:
> Compared with plain paper, glossy paper may often be printed with a thin
toner film over it, or the images may be printed lighter.
> In a high temperature and high humidity environment, a thin toner film is
likely to occur. Glossy paper is best used in an environment below 25°C
temperature and 60% humidity.
> Image offsetting may occur particularly if you are printing high density
images or printing several copies.
> Due to its coating, glossy paper may “slip” when being fed into the
printer.
Envelopes
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that
remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in
this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Transparencies
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers
and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies
designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the
fuser and cause damage.
Recommended type is:
CG3720 by 3M (A4 or Letter size)
Labels
CAUTION!
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers
and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely
covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the
printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.
Recommended type is:
Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter)

RAYS AND STACKERS
T
RAYS
1 TO 5
Tray 1 is the standard blank paper input tray and can hold up to 530 sheets of paper.
Additional trays, to give a total of five, can be added as an option to give a total tray
capacity of 2650 sheets of paper.
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (for example Tray 2 or the MP
Tray), you can have the printer automatically switch to that other tray when the current
tray runs out of paper. This function can be enabled by driver settings when printing from
a Windows application or by a menu setting when printing from other applications.
MP
TRAY
The multi-purpose tray is used for media sizes additional to those of the standard trays,
heavier media weights and special media.
The multi-purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the standard trays but in weights up
to 300g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face-up paper stacker. This ensures that
the paper path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi-purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 76.2mm and lengths up to
1200mm. For banner printing, recommended sizes are A4 wide, 900mm and 1200mm long
and weight 128g/m². Since paper of width less than 100mm does not auto feed, you have
to press the ONLINE button to cause it to feed.
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and transparencies. Up to 100 sheets
of transparencies or 25 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum
stacking depth of 25mm.
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge into the printer. Do
not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function for transparencies.
F
ACE-DOWN STACKER
The face-down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 500 sheets of 80g/m²
standard paper, and can handle paper stocks from 64 – 216g/m². Pages printed in reading
order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).
F
ACE-UP STACKER
The face-up stacker should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for
use. (With the face-up stacker either open or closed, the driver setting of Face Down will
successfully direct prints to the Face-Down stacker.)
The face-up stacker can hold up to 200 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper and can handle
stocks up to 300g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi-purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than
216g/m².

U
SING THE MENUS
NOTE
Menu details are given in “Appendix B – menu system” on page 68 for
reference.
The Enter, Up-arrow, Down-arrow and Back buttons are used to move through the
printer menus. You can adjust settings (e.g. set the paper size for Tray 1) or view
information (e.g. how much is left of a selected consumable).
Many of these menu settings can be, and often are, overridden by settings in the Windows
printer drivers. However, several of the driver settings can be left at “Printer Setting,”
which will then default to the settings entered in these printer menus.
The steps involved in using the menus are typically as follows:
1.Ensure that the LCD panel indicates that the printer is ready to print.
2.Enter User menu mode by pressing either the Enter button or the Up-arrow or
Down-arrow button and press the latter two repeatedly as required until the
desired menu is highlighted in the displayed list.
3.Press the Enter button to select this menu.
4.Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow buttons repeatedly until the desired Item is
highlighted.
5.Press the Enter button to select this Item.
6.Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow buttons repeatedly until the desired Value is
highlighted.
7.Press the Enter button to select this Value. (If you are setting a parameter, ensure
that an asterisk (*) appears beside the selected parameter Value.)
