Loading in manual feeder

The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page 105).

Tips on using the manual feeder

• Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.

• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.

• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 105).

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.

• When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 45).

• When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray and remove the papers then try printing again.

• When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.

• When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by pressing the power button before using the manual feeder.

To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.

If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, creases, or black bold lines, open the rear cover and try printing again. Keep the rear cover opened during printing.

• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m

otherwise; jams may occur.

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, selfadhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

1 Acceptable 2 Unacceptable

• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second about 170°C (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.

- Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not contain air.

- Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.

- Temperature: should resist the heat and pressure of the machine during operation.

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well-creased folds.

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

2. Menu overview and basic setup

Media and tray

Transparency

To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.

• To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are being printed out.

• Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by Xerox, such as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780 (Letter)

• Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.

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

• Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.

• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.

• To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.

2. Menu overview and basic setup

Media and tray

Labels

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.

- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

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

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specifications to view the fusing temperature (about 170°C (338°F)).

- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

- Curl: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

2. Menu overview and basic setup

Card stock/ Custom-sized paper

• In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.

Preprinted paper

When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.

• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).

• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers.

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

3. Maintenance

Redistributing toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

• White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.

• The Status LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water: hot water sets toner into fabric.

Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

3. Maintenance

Cleaning the machine

If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep it in the best printing condition and use your machine longer.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

• If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.

• During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Tips for avoiding paper jams

By selecting the correct medias, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:

• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 41).

• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.

• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.

• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

• Do not mix paper s in a tray.

• Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 105).
