Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn pap er can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.

• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality.

• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.

• Do not attempt to load any tray while printing, and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356 °F) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heatresistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are rea dy to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper , whether it is packaged or unpackaged.

Using Print Materials

• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

NOTE:

types of paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off fumes, or cause damage to the printer.

Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. These

Page 28

Loading Paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tr ay while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.1 for acceptable paper capacities for each tray.

Using Tray 1

Load the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in Tray 1.

Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain A4 or lettersized paper.

You can purchase an optional tray, Tra y 2, and attach it below Tray 1, to load an additional 500 sheets of paper. See 9.1 for more information about installing the optional Tray 2.

Using Print Materials

Multi-purpose Tray

The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of material, such as cards and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterhead, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special materials that you do not normally keep in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10 envelopes, 10 sheets of card stock, or 10 labe ls at a time.

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multi-purpose Tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multi-purpose Tray. This also applies to other types of print materials.

• Print materials should be loaded face down with the top edge going into the Multi-purpose Tray first, and be placed in the center of the tray.

Page 29

To load print material in the Multi-purpose Tray:

Lower the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.

If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.

If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multi-purpose Tray, the p rinted side should be facing up with the uncurled edge toward the printer. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around.

NOTE

: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.

When you print a document, set the paper source to

Printing on Labels

Printing on Preprinted Paper

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or print on a partial sheet of labels.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.

• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

To print on labels:

Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.

• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.

• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry . During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper, reducing the print quality.

Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages for black and each color. The starter toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 2,000 pages for black and each color.

Redistributing Toner

When a toner cartridge is low on toner , faded or light areas ma y appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, if you use the CLP-600N, “Ready [Color] Low Toner” may appear on the display.

The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner cartridge until the SmartPanel progr am window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control panel displays that message (CLP-600N only).

You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.

: When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if possible always pull the paper in the direction that it normally moves so as not to damage internal components. Always pull firmly and evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur again.
