Paper Exit Paths

Before sending a job to the printer, make sure you have the correct exit path engaged.

Top Exit Path

The default path is the top exit bin (1).
Printed pages exit face down.
MPS730b User’s Guide > 15

The Rear Exit Path

Always use the rear exit path for special media such as labels, card stock, envelopes, etc. This provides the straight-through path needed to prevent curling and jams.
Printed documents exit face up.
To use the rear exit, be sure the exit lever (1) is pushed up and the extension tray (2) is pulled out.
See page 24 for more information.

Configuring Custom Sizes

To print on custom size paper loaded in trays 1 to 4, you must
set the paper size on the control panel. Use the Menu to set Auto-
Sense OFF and then set Custom Size for the intended tray.
You may also need to set it in the printer driver, depending on
the paper size. See the description of Express Print for an easy way to
print on various Custom Sizes.
Caution!
When setting the paper size in 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 printer 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]. The printer will automatically detect the size and orientation of the loaded paper.

Important!
• Place the transparencies in the tray with the side to be printed facing up.
• Load no more than 100 transparencies in a tray.
• Handle transparencies by the edges with both hands to avoid getting fingerprints and creases on them.
8. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.
9. Using the Operator Panel or Embedded Web Server (see
page
79), select the Transparency Media Type and
correct Media Size for the tray to be used.
10. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Transparency as the media type you wish to use.
Important!
To prevent output transparencies from sticking together, remove them from the output tray after about 20 sheets, and then fan them to lower their temperature.
