Print Media Paper: General Information
When you buy paper, keep in mind that page printers require a smooth finish paper. For most everyday applications, paper rated for copiers and laser printers should work well with your printer.
Before buying any large quantity of a particular paper, always test a sample first.
Caution! Print media (including ink on preprinted forms) must be able to withstand 392°F (200°C) for 0.1 second.
See also Selecting Paper.
14
Changing the Media Type in the Printer Driver
The printer is optimized for printing on 20-lb. (75 g/m2) paper. If you consistently use much lighter or heavier paper in Tray 1 (or Tray 2 if
installed), or transparencies in the manual feed tray, you must change the Media setting to match what you are using.
You can do this:
1. In your software application by clicking on the Properties button in the Print dialog box.
2. In the printer driver.
3. In the printer menu.
Note: Changes made in the printer driver will be overridden by your software settings.
To change Media Type in the printer driver: For the PCL 6e driver:
1. From the Windows Taskbar, click Start →Settings → Printers.
2. Double-click the OKIPAGE 14 icon.
3. Click Printers → Document Defaults.
4. In the Paper Thickness drop-down list box, select the setting you want.
5. Click OK.
For the PostScript (14i) driver:
1. From the Windows Taskbar, click Start →Settings → Printers.
2. Double-click the OKIPAGE 14 icon.
3. Click Printers → Document Defaults.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Click on Media <Printer Setting>.
6. In the Media Setting list box, select the setting you want.

Paper/Print Media Feed Paths
Print media can be supplied to the printer in five ways:
Ÿ From Tray 1, which takes up to 250 sheets of 20-lb. paper Ÿ From the Manual Feeder, which takes 1 sheet of 20-lb. paper or 1
envelope, as well as transparencies, label sheets or heavy paper
Ÿ From the optional Multi-Purpose Feeder which takes up to 100 sheets of
20-lb. paper or 50 envelopes
Ÿ From the optional 2nd Paper Tray Mechanism which takes up to 500
sheets of 20-lb. paper.
16
Paper/Print Media Exit Paths
The printer has two exit paths:
Ÿ Top Exit: The normal exit used for routine printing Ÿ Rear Exit: Used for special types of print media such as envelopes, labels,
transparencies, etc.
17
Top Exit
The top exit is the one normally used for routine printing.
Ÿ Printed pages feed face down into the bin on top of the printer. Ÿ The bin holds 150 sheets of 20 lb. paper. Ÿ Pages stack in the correct order.
To use the top exit:
1. Lift out the tray extender and pull it toward the front of the printer until it stops. Pull out the support bar.
18
Rear Exit
Use rear exit when printing on heavy paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies.
Ÿ Printed pages feed face up into the rear tray. Ÿ The tray holds a maximum of 50 sheets of 20 lb. paper Ÿ Pages stack in reverse order. Ÿ To avoid paper jams, remove print media when rear exit tray is full.
To use rear exit:
Caution! Do not extend the rear exit tray while printing: a print media jam may occur.
1. Pull out the rear exit tray.
2. Lift out the extender.
19
The Paper Tray Gauge
The paper tray gauge indicates the amount of paper left in the tray. This eliminates having to open the tray to check how much paper remains.
20
Paper Size Indicator
The flashing marker (—) in the printer display window indicates the paper size installed in the paper tray. For example, in the picture above, legal (LGL) size paper is installed.
This feature eliminates having to open the paper tray to see which paper size is loaded.
21
Storing Paper
If paper is stored improperly, print quality could be affected.
Ÿ Store paper in a dark, dry place such as a closet or a cabinet. Ÿ Don't open the package until you are ready to use it. Ÿ Always store paper lying flat, or it may curl. Ÿ Store your paper in a static-free environment. Ÿ Ideally, store paper at a constant temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) with less
than 50% humidity.
Discard the top sheet from each ream of paper before loading it into the
paper tray - it may be contaminated with glue or dust.
22
Selecting Paper: Basis Weight
Bond Paper
Ÿ Automatic feed: use 16-lb. to 28-lb. bond—do not use automatic feed for
bond paper over 28 lb.
Ÿ Manual feed: use 16-lb. to 32-lb. bond.
Cover stock
Other types of paper measure weight differently. For example, 45-lb. cover stock is approximately equivalent to 32-lb. bond paper.
23
Selecting Paper: Brightness
Brightness is:
Ÿ The amount of light reflected off of the page Ÿ Measured on a scale of 1 to 100 (copier paper has a brightness of about
84)
Many catalogs list brightness values for paper, but your eye is generally the best judge.
Brighter paper increases contrast with the image: text and graphics
Ÿ Look crisper Ÿ Reproduce better
Paper that isn't as bright gives a softer effect and can be easier to read for long documents.
24
Selecting Paper: Pulp/Rag Content
Ideally, paper should be made from 100% wood pulp. However, most papers have some cotton or rag content.
Note: Paper with high cotton content, unless designed for laser printers, generally does not print well because the surface is too rough.
25
Selecting Paper: Opacity
Opacity determines how much print shows through from one side of the paper to the other. This is more important for multi-page documents.
Opaque paper generally lets very little light pass through it. Your eye is generally the best judge.
