This chapter will help you understand what kind of paper you can use with the ML-6040 printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality.

Topics included in this chapter are:

◆ Choosing Paper and Other Media

◆ Selecting Output Tray

◆ Loading Paper

◆ Printing on Envelopes

◆ Printing on Heavy Paper

◆ Printing on Labels

◆ Printing on Transparencies

◆ Printing on Preprinted Paper

◆ Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media

Page 38

Choosing Paper and Other Media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print media, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:

• 16~28 lbs bond for Auto Tray

• 16~53 lbs bond for Manual Tray

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

• Opacity: Opacity refers to the degree to which printing on one side of the paper shows through the other side. Use paper high in opacity (or thicker paper) for two-sided (duplex) printing.

Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities.

CAUTION: Using media that does not conform to the

specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.

Paper Guidelines

Choosing Paper and Other Media

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

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper 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.

• Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier.

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

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

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

• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer ’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. 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 will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until it is ready to use. 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.

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

Selecting the Output Tray

The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it.

• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try

printing to the rear output tray.

• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing.

Printing to the Top Output Tray

Top output tray

(Face down)

The top output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order. The top output tray should be used

for most print jobs and is recommended for printing the following:

• over 250 sheets of paper, continuously

• transparencies

Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up)

The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up, with the last page on top.

Printing from the Manual Tray to the rear output tray provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray might improve output quality with the following:

4.4

Rear output tray

PRINT MEDIA

• over 100 sheets of paper, continuously

• envelopes

• labels

• small custom-size paper

• postcards

• paper lighter than 16 lb (60 g/m heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m

) or

)

Printing on Heavy Paper

Guidelines

• Heavy paper is any paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2). The maximum paper weight available for your printer is 43 lb (163g/m

• Do not use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 43 lb, or 163 g/m Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessive mechanical wear can result.

Page 49

Printing on Labels

Guidelines

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.

• 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.

• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the printer.

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

Open the Manual Tray and the rear output tray.

4.12

Load labels with print side up, and against the left edge of the tray.

Adjust the guide to the width of paper.

When you print on labels, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3.

Note: To prevent them from sticking

together, remove label sheet from the output tray as they are printed out.

PRINT MEDIA

Page 50

Printing on Transparencies

Guidelines

• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

• Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have any torn edge.

• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.

• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.

• To prevent transparencies from curling, use the standard output tray. (This is for transparencies only; for other media, use the rear output tray to reduce curling.)

Open the Manual Tray by pulling it down toward you.

Load transparencies with print side up, and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.

Adjust the guide to the width of paper.

When you print on transparencies, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3.

Notes:

• To prevent transparencies from sticking together, remove them from the output tray as they are printed.

• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.

Page 51

Printing on Preprinted Paper

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

Guidelines

• Letterheads 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 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second.

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

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

• Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

Load letterheads into the tray you want to use as shown in the figures.

Adjust the guide to the width of paper.

When you print a document on the paper, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3.

Guidelines

• Always insert the short-edge into the Manual tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

• Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm (3.9 in.) wide or 148 mm(5.83 in.) long.

• Set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) away from the edges of the media in the software application.

Open the Manual Tray. Open the rear output tray and pull the extender out to its full-length position.

Using Page Overlay

What is an Overlay?

Creating a New Page

Overlay

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD as a special file format that can be printed on any document you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing a text or image you

want to use for page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If needed, save the file for later use.

This chapter provides suggestions for high-quality and economical printing and information for maintaining the toner cartridge and the printer.

Topics included in this chapter are:

◆ Maintaining Toner Cartridge

◆ Cleaning the Printer

Page 85

Maintaining Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

Toner cartridge life

expectancy

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in your mind.

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months.

• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not

cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.

• Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge immediately.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 % coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 6,000 pages. (But, the toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 3,000 pages.)

Recycling toner

cartridge

Saving toner

After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old cartridge.

To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to “Using Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will expand the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print quality.

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

Page 86

Toner Cartridge

Redistributing Toner

When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge.

Open the top cover.

Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

CAUTIONS:

• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

6.2

Page 87

Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side 5 or 6 times to redistribute the toner.

Note: If the toner gets on your

clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Be sure that the toner cartridge is firmly in its place.

Page 88

Cleaning the Printer

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer free from dust and debris.

Notes:

• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the printer. These can damage the printer.

• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your hands on the roller can cause print quality problems.

Cleaning the Outside

Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lintfree cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to be let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.

Cleaning the Inside

Cleaning inside the printer

Note: To prevent damage

to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage the printer.

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning inside the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for

the printer to cool.

Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.

With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner

from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

Page 89

Cleaning the Printer

Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the

cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white cotton black.

Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. Then,

turn the printer on.

Printing a cleaning sheet

Note: The cartridge

cleaning process takes some time. To stop the printing, turn the power off.

Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded.

Make sure the printer is turned on and in the ready state and

that there is paper loaded in the paper tray.

Press and hold Demo on the control panel for about 10

seconds until all control panel lights remain steadily lit, then release.

Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the

paper tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with the dust or toner particles on it.

Clearing Paper Jams

Occasionally, paper can become jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include:

• The paper tray is loaded improperly or overfilled.

• The paper tray has been pulled out during a print job.

• The top cover has been opened during a print job.

• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2.

• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2.

If a paper jam occurs, the Paper and the Error lights remain lit on the control panel. Find and remove the jammed paper. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look inside the printer.

Output Area

Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your

clothes, wash them in cold water because hot water will set the toner into the fabric.

If the paper is almost completely visible from the top output tray, pull the remaining paper carefully out of the printer.
