Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

Guidelines for special print media

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

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 5.3.

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

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following media types:

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Multi-paged paper

- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer.

• Store print media 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 it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

C and 30o C

Media type Guidelines

• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper

should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes

should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.

- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,

nicked, or otherwise damaged.

- Temperature: You should use envelopes that

are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during operation.

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

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

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

• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope

Envelopes

extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

5.3 <

• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing temperature of 200° C (392° F) for

0.1 second. 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 (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope.

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

Media type Guidelines

Transparencies

Labels

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

• Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

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

• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. 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.

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

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

- 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: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with

no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any direction.

- 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 printer components.

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

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

• 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 205° C (400° F) for 0.1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and

Preprinted paper

should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a 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 preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray

Notes

• Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the material to warp.

• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams.

Using the multi-purpose tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.

To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:

1 Open the multi-purpose tray and unfold the multi-purpose tray

extension, as shown.

3 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. If you need to do the printing job with a wrinkled envelopes, open the rear cover, (see page 5.8.) Push the pressure lever on each side down.

2 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.

• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.

• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the printer first.

• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the printer.

• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.

• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an uncurled edge toward the printer.

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.

5.6 <

Loading print media>

Caution

When you print on special material like envelopes, labels, transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the rear cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.

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 OK on the control panel to print each following page.

4 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust

them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

5 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the

software application. See the Software Section.

For information about setting the paper source and type on the control panel, see page 2.3.

6 After printing, fold the multi-purpose tray extension and close the

multi-purpose tray.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one size of print media 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 media.

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

• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.1 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.

• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on the multi-purpose tray, open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid paper jams.

• Make sure to open the rear cover when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the printer.

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print material in the multi-purpose tray if you select Manual Feeder in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

1 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

2 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust

them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

3 When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual

Feeder and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. See the Software Section.

4 Print a document.

The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and press OK.

5 Press Stop.

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

Note

If you do not press the button, after a pause the printer will automatically pick the print material.

6 Insert the next sheet into the multi-purpose tray and press Stop.

Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

5.7 <

Loading print media>

Selecting an output location

The printer has two output locations; the rear cover (face up) and the output tray (face down).

rear cover

output tray

Printing to the rear cover (Face up)

Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the printer face up.

Printing from the multi-purpose tray to the rear cover provides a straight paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the output quality with special print media.

To use the rear cover, open it by pulling down.

The printer sends output to the output tray by default. To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.

Notes

• If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover.

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

Printing to the output tray (Face down)

The output tray collects paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.

Caution

The fuser area inside the rear cover of your printer becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area.

Cleaning the printer

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Your printer has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

Cleaning the inside of the printer

There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:

• Clean the inside manually.

• Print a cleaning sheet, which can be done from the control panel.

Cleaning the inside of the printer manually

1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer

to cool down.

2 Open the front cover and pull the print cartridge out. Set it on a

clean flat surface.

Cautions

• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

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

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

the print cartridge area and the print cartridge cavity.

Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the printer.

Caution

If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we recommend you to use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. Toner blown into the air by a vacuum cleaner maybe harmful.

Caution

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

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

compartment, and gently swab the glass with a cotton swab checking to see if dirt turns the cotton black.

5 Reinsert the print cartridge and close the front cover.

6 Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.

Printing a cleaning sheet

If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer. You can print:

• OPC Cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the print cartridge.

• Fuser Cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer.

This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded.

Maintenance

Clean Drum or Clean Fuser

appears and press OK.

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

Expected cartridge life

The print cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. Average yield for a new print cartridge is either 10,000 or 4000 standard pages in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the original print cartridge supplied with the machine is 4,000 standard pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Saving Toner

To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button backlight turns on.

Using this feature extends the life of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

Checking the remaining toner

You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.

If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if the problem is caused by low toner.

Maintaining the print cartridge

Print cartridge storage

To get the most from the print cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until ready for use.

• Do not refill the print cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

• Store print cartridge in the same environment as the printer.

8.2 <

Maintenance>

Redistributing print cartridge

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

• White streaks or light printing occurs.

• Toner Low appears on the display.

• The Status Monitor program window appears on the computer telling you that the toner level is low.

• The Status LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.

1 Open the front cover.

2 Pull the print cartridge out.

Note

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.

4 Hold the print cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge

into the opening in the printer.

5 Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves

within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

6 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Replacing the print cartridge

Cautions

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

• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

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

3 Thoroughly roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner

evenly inside the cartridge.

9.11 <

Troubleshooting>

Condition Suggested solutions

Background scatter

Misformed characters

Page skew

AaBbCc

Curl or wave

Wrinkles or creases

Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or via the printer properties window.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See page 5.3.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page (see page 2.7). For service, contact a service representative.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.2.

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See page 5.2.

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

• Try printing to the rear cover (face-up).

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.2.

• Open the rear cover and try printing to the rear cover (face-up).

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the port.

The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the socket printing instead of IPP or install later version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

Installing Printer Software

You can install the printer software for local printing or network printing. To install the printer software on the computer, perform the appropriate installation procedure depending on the printer in use.

A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers may differ depending on the operating system you are using.

All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning installation.

This is recommended for most users. All components necessary for printer operations will be installed.

Make sure that the printer is connected to your computer and powered on.

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation window appears.

Use Printer Fonts

printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.

If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

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

Creating a New Page Overlay

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

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as

you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See "Printing a Document" on page 12.

• Getting Started

• Installing the Unified Linux Driver

• Using the Unified Driver Configurator

• Configuring Printer Properties

• Printing a Document

Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Xerox’s Unified Linux Driver package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously.

The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You don't need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the Unified Linux Driver software: all required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
