USING PAPER OR SPECIALTY M

EDIA

This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you

can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in

the different paper trays for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

• Choosing Paper and other Specialty Media

• Loading Paper

• Printing Specialty Media

Choosing Paper and other Specialty Media

You can print on a variety of paper types and sizes, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Printing Specialty Media” on page 2.14.

When you choose paper, 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 weights as follows:

-16~24lbs (60~90g/m

optional Tray 2

-16~32lbs (60~160g/m

for the Multi-purpose Tray

-20~24lbs (75~90g/m

Guidelines for Paper and Specialty Media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other specialty 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.

• When printing transparencies, use only Phaser 35-Series

Premium Transparency Film.

• 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 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, heat-

resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s fusing temperature.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready 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.

• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other

conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

OTE

: Do not use carbonless paper and tracing paper. The

chemicals can damage your printer.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

2.3

Loading Paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 2.2 for acceptable paper capacities for each tray.

Using Tray 1

Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets plain A4 and lettersized paper or 30 transparencies.

You can purchase an optional tray, Tray 2, and attach it below Tray 1, to load an additional 500 sheets of paper.

Pull the tray out of the printer.

2.4

Push down on the metal plate until it locks into position.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

Flex the paper sheets back and forth to separate the pages, and then fan them while holding one edge. Tap the edge of the stack on a flat surface to even it up.

Load paper with the print side facing up.

Make sure that all four corners are flat in the tray and under the corner brackets as shown below.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

2.5

Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause a paper jam. Do not load more than 30 transparencies in Tray 1.

While pinching the paper guide as shown, move it toward the paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not press the guide too tightly against the edge of the paper; the guide may bend the paper.

2.6

OTE

Slide the tray back into the printer.

When you print a document, select the paper type, paper size and tray selection in your software application. For details, see page 3.7.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

: If you want to change the paper size in the tray, refer to

Changing the Paper Size in the Tray

The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To change the size to A4 or Letter, you must adjust the paper length guide properly.

Lift the paper length guide and place it in the correct position for the paper size you are loading.

Paper length guide

To remove the paper length guide, turn it slightly to your right to release the locks on the bottom of the guide, then pull it up.

To place the paper length guide in the paper position you want, insert the locks on the bottom of the guide into the desired paper slot and push it all the way in.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

2.7

Load paper with the print side facing up. For more information see steps 4 and 5 on page 2.5~2.6.

While pinching the paper guide as shown, move it toward the paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not push the guide to tightly against the edge of the paper as it may cause the paper to bend.

2.8

Using the Optional Tray 2

The optional tray, Tray 2, can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of plain paper.

To load paper in Tray 2, follow the instructions for loading paper on page 2.4.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

Using the Multi-Purpose Tray (MPT)

The Multi-purpose Tray (MPT) is located on the right side of your printer. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact.

Multi-purpose Tray (MPT)

The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies, 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 specialty media that you do not normally keep in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10 envelopes, 30 transparencies, 10 sheets of card stock or 10 labels at a time.

• Load only one size of paper 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 specialty media.

• Paper 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.

To load paper in the Multi-purpose Tray:

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

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

2.9

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

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

Load the paper with the print side facing down and against the right edge of the tray.

2.10

Pinch the paper width guide and slide it to the right to touch lightly against the edge of the paper without bending it.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

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

OTE

: Make sure that you have not loaded too much paper. The paper 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 tray selection to MPT and select the correct paper type in the software application. For details, see page 3.7.

OTE

: After printing fold away the paper support extension and close the Multi-purpose Tray.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

2.11

Using the Manual Feed

If you select Manual in the Tray selection option when changing print settings, you can manually load a sheet of paper in Multi-purpose Tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the Multi-purpose Tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the Tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the On Line/Continue button on the control panel to print each following page.

Load a sheet of paper with the print side down and against the right edge of the Multi-purpose Tray.

2.12

Pinch the paper width guide and slide it to the right to touch lightly against the edge of the paper without bending it.

SING PAPER OR SPECIALTY

When you print a document, you must select Manual for Tray selection in the software application, and then select

the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 3.7.

Print the document.

The display shows a message prompting you to load paper.

Press the On Line/Continue button.

The printer picks up the paper and prints. After one page is printed, the message appears again.

Insert the next sheet into the Multi-purpose Tray and press the On Line/Continue button.

Repeat this step for every page to be printed.
