5 Loading print media

This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in different paper trays for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting print media

• Loading paper

• Selecting an output location

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the printer.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.

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

• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:

- 60 to 105 g/m

- 60 to 163 g/m

- 75 to 90 g/m

-Over 105g/m

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

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

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 and 30° C (59 to 86° 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 tray 1(MPT) to avoid paper jams.

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

Media type Guidelines

Envelopes

• 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 10 mm (0.39 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 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.

Loading print media>

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 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 (0.5 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.

Preprinted paper

• 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 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and 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 Tray 2. Tray 2 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75 g/m

You can purchase an optional tray 3 and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 500 sheets of paper. For order information for an optional tray, see page 7.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of Tray 2 and optional tray 3 shows the amount of paper currently left in tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator bar is completely lowered.

4 Load paper with the side to be printed on face down.

Use the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in Tray 2. Tray 2 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75 g/m

(20 lb) paper.

You can purchase an optional tray 3 and attach it below Tray 2 to load an additional 500 sheets of paper.

1 Pull tray out and press the metal plate until it locks into position.

2 Squeeze the paper width guide and adjust the paper width guide so

that it lightly touches the paper stack.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of tray.

Notes

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in multi-purpose tray.

• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

Changing the size of the paper in Tray 2

To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides to extend paper tray.

3 Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages

before loading.

2 After inserting paper into tray, adjust the support guide so that it

lightly touches the paper stack.

Using tray1(MPT)

Tray1(MPT) 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 multi-purpose tray:

1 Pull tray1(MPT) down towards you and pull tray1(MPT) extension

to hold longer paper.

2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to

separate the pages before loading.

3 Squeeze the paper width guides and slide them against the stack of

paper until they lightly touches the side of the stack.

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.

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

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.

• 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.

5.6 <

Loading print media>

• 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 thick or if you push it in too far.

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 5.9.

4 Squeeze tray1(MPT) 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.

• 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 tray1(MPT) if you select Manual Feed 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.

This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in tray1(MPT), except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in tray, send print data to print the first page, and press Start/Stop on the control panel to print each following page.

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

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 2.4.

6 After printing, put the extender back to its place and close multi-

purpose tray.

Tips on using tray1(MPT)

• Load only one size of print media at a time in tray1(MPT).

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in tray1(MPT). This also applies to other types of print media.

• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into tray1(MPT) first and be placed in the center of 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 tray1(MPT).

• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on tray1(MPT), open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid paper jams.

2 Squeeze tray1(MPT) 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 Feed

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 Start/Stop.

Maintenance>

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.

• 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 7,000 or 14,000 standard pages in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the original print cartridge supplied with the machine is 7,000 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.

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 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 top cover.

2 Pull the print cartridge out.

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.

1 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the

display press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Maintenance appears and

press OK.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Supplies Life appears and

Maintenance>

Cautions

• 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.

• 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 cartridgeprint cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

5 At the end of the print cartridge, the sealing tape is located.

Carefully pull the tape out of the cartridge and discard it.

8 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.

9 Close the top cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Notes

• The sealing tape should be longer than 60 cm when correctly removed.

• Holding the print cartridge, pull the sealing tape straight to remove it from the cartridge. Be careful not to cut the tape. If this happens, you cannot use the print cartridge.

• Refer to the helpful pictures on the cartridge wrapping paper.

6 There is a flexible plastic holder. Remove the holder from the print

cartridge.

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

cartridge into the opening in the printer.

Clearing paper jams

Note

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.

When a paper jam occurs, the Status LED lights red. Open and close the top cover. The jammed paper will automatically exit the printer.

If the paper does not exit, check the display on the control panel. The message indicating the corresponding location of the paper jam appears. Refer to the table below to locate the paper jam and to clear it:

• Check the type and quality. See page 5.2.

• Remove the print cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.4.

Condition Suggested solutions

Background scatter

Misformed characters

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 2.9). For service, contact a service representative.

The printer driver has not been configured to recognize the optional tray 3.

• Print a configuration page and verify that the PostScript driver has been installed.

• Install the PostScript driver.

• If problem consists, contact a service representative.

You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory.

Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the printer.

Open the PostScript driver properties, select the Device

Settings tab, and set the Tray 3 option of the Installable Options section to Installed.

Condition Suggested solutions

The machine does not print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is paused. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when port is claimed by a scanning application.

• Check if the port is busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. You should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your printer. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present owner is not functioning properly.

• Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.

Troubleshooting>

Condition Suggested solutions

The machine does not print.

Some color images come out all black.

Some color images come out in unexpected color.

The machine does not print whole pages and its output is half page printed.

I encounter error “Cannot open port device file” when printing a document.

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).

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space of the document is indexed color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because PostScript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color space of the document is indexed RGB color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because PostScript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com

It is a known problem that occurs when a color printer is used on version 8.51 or earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug 688252. The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from http://

sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and

install it to solve this problem.

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 printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.

Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products:

Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem. Turn on Print As

Image from the Acrobat printing options.

OTE: It will take longer to print when you

print a PDF file as an image.

Common Macintosh problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The printer does not print a document from Acrobat Reader.

The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2.

Some letters are not displayed normally during the Cover page printing.

When printing a document in Mac OS with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly.

You should change the Print Method option to Print as Image when you print from Acrobat Reader.

Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or higher.

This problem is caused because Mac OS can not create the font during the Cover page printing. English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally at the Cover page.

This problem is caused because the resolution setting in the printer driver may not be matched with that in Acrobat Reader.

Make sure that the resolution setting in your printer driver matches that in Acrobat Reader.

10 Installing accessories

Your printer is a full-featured laser printer that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user may have different requirements, however, Xerox makes several accessories available to enhance the printer’s capabilities.

This chapter includes:

• Precautions when installing accessories

• Installing a memory DIMM

Precautions when installing accessories

2 Remove the duplex-slot cover from the back of the printer. If you

installed an optional duplex unit, remove it from the printer.

Disconnect the power cord:

Never remove the control board cover while the power is being supplied.

To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories.

Discharge static electricity:

The control board and internal accessories (network interface card and memory DIMM) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk round before finishing installation, discharge any static electricity once again.

Installing a memory DIMM

Your printer has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use this DIMM slot to install additional memory.

Phaser 3600/B has 64 MB, and Phaser 3600N or Phaser 3600/DN has 128 MB of memory. The memory can be expanded to 512 MB.

For order information for optional memory DIMMs, see page 7.1.

1 Turn the printer power off and unplug all cables from the printer.

3 Grasp the control board cover and slide toward you to open it.

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.

Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.

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

Installing the Unified Linux

Linux

You can use your machine in a Linux environment.

This chapter includes:

• 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.

[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/ cdrom

[root@localhost root]#cd /mnt/cdrom/Linux

[root@localhost root]#./install.sh

If you still failed to run the CD-ROM, type the followings in sequence:

[root@localhost root]#umount/dev/hdc

[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/ cdrom
