PCL printer drivers

Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are provided with this printer. We recommend the PCL 6 as your first choice. However, some of your applications might require the installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in addition to the PCL 6.

This section provides basic procedures for installing the printer driver. The actual procedure differs somewhat depending on your operating system. Follow the right one of the procedures below.

We recommend the PCL 6 as your first choice. However, some of your application software might require the installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install the PCL 5e in addition to the PCL 6.

Important

When you set the print resolution to 300dpi, you should install the PCL 5e

Paper Types and Sizes

This section provides the type, size, feed direction, and maximum capacity of paper that can be loaded into each paper tray in this printer.

Important

If you use damp or curled paper, a misfeed might occur. In such a case, try

❒

turning over the paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement, change to paper with less curl.

Note

The meaning of the symbols describing paper can be seen in the table below.

❒

In this manual On the panel display Meaning

It is recommended that you load paper having the size and direction you fre-

quently use in the tray selected with the “Tray Priority”. For details on Tray Priority, see P.128

When loading paper having the same size in more than one tray, it is recom-

❒

Precautions for Pape r

Note the following precautions when handling or selecting paper to be used with this printer.

Cautions in loading paper

• Use only the recommended paper types. Print quality cannot be guaranteed if other paper types are used.

• Do not use paper that is already printed on.

• When loading paper into the paper tray, make sure that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit mark inside the tray.

• When loading paper onto the bypass tray, make sure that the paper fits under the side guide.

• When loading paper into the paper tray, make sure that print side is facing up.

9

• When loading paper onto the bypass tray, make sure that print side is facing

down

.

Cautions in storing paper

Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage.

Follow the precautions below.

• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.

• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.

• Store on a flat surface.

• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.

Paper types and cautions

❖❖❖❖

Plain paper

• If you print on paper heavier than 90 g/m2 (24 lb), use the bypass tray. The

2

bypass tray can hold paper up to 162 g/m

• When loading paper heavier than 155 g/m

(42 lb) in weight.

2

(41 lb) onto the bypass tray, set

the printer to the Thick Paper mode using the operation panel. ⇒ P.125

“Making Printer Settings with the Operation Panel”

74

• If paper is curled or bent, correct it before loading.

Paper and Other Media Supported by Your Printer

❖❖❖❖

OHP transparencies

• Load only one OHP transparency at a time onto the bypass tray.

• When loading OHP transparencies onto the bypass tray, set the printer to

the Thick Paper mode using the operation panel. ⇒ P.125

“Making Printer

Settings with the Operation Panel”

• Be careful not to touch the print side of the OHP transparencies. Other-

wise, the print side gets dirty or damaged, and results in poor print quality.

• When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it face

down onto the bypass tray.

❖❖❖❖

Translucent paper

• Load only one translucent paper at a time onto the bypass tray.

• When printing on translucent paper that has a print side, load it face down

onto the bypass tray.

❖❖❖❖

Adhesive labels

• Load only one adhesive label at a time onto the bypass tray.

• Use adhesive labels in which the whole side can be printed on.

• Avoid using adhesive labels having exposed glue.

• If the print side is coated, the print quality might be reduced, as the toner

might not fuse well.

❖❖❖❖

Envelopes

• When printing on envelopes, use the bypass tray or the optional envelope

feeder.

• Even when the optional envelope feeder is not installed, you can specify

the sizes for the envelopes for tray 2 using the operation panel. However, the envelopes cannot be loaded into tray 2 without the envelope feeder. To use the envelope feeder, the installation of the optional paper unit is required.⇒ P.16

“Type 2 Printer: Installing the Envelope Feeder Type 1400”

and P.94

“Type 2 printer: loading envelopes

“Type 1 printer: loading

into the envelope feeder”

• Make sure that print side is facing down when loading onto the bypass tray, and facing up when loading into the optional envelope feeder.

• Load the envelopes with the flaps aligned to the left side fence. The flaps should be securely folded down.

• Make sure that there is no air in the envelopes before loading.

• To get the better print quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print margin, to at least 15 mm (0.6") each.

• Do not print on both sides of envelopes.

9

• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.

• Before loading envelopes, flatten the leading edges (side being fed into the printer) of them by running a pencil or ruler across them.

• Before loading envelopes, make sure that they are rectangular in shape. Refer to the following illustrations.
