PAPER HANDLING

This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting
print materials and loading them into your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting Print Materials
• Selecting an Output Location
• Loading Paper in the Paper Tray
• Using the Manual Feeder

Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.5. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for your project.
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:
- 16 ~ 24 lbs (60 ~ 90 g/m
- 16 ~ 43 lbs (60 ~ 163 g/m
• 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.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the
specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page A.5.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a
texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are 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 it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
o
30
C (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be
between 10 % and 70 %.
• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as
any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser
printers.
• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and
label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints out.
•For envelopes:
o
C and
2
- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds.
- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self­adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• For transparencies:
- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.
P
APER HANDLING
2.3
- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and coated paper carefully.
- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
•For labels:
- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 208
o
C (406.4o F) for 0.1 second.
- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between them. 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 load a sheet of them through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.
- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
• Do not use
Carbonless
paper and
Tracing
paper. Use of these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could damage your printer.

Selecting an Output Location

The machine has two output locations; the rear output slot (face up) and the front output tray (face down).
To use the front output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed. To use the rear output slot, open the rear cover.
N
OTES
:
• If paper coming out of the front output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output slot.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the machine is printing.

P
APER HANDLING
Printing to the Front Output Tray
The front output tray collects printed paper face-down in the order in which it was printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.
If you use paper which is not long enough to reach the front output tray, use the jam cover.

Using Watermarks

The Watermark option allows you to print text over an existing document. For example, you may want to have large gray letters reading “DRAFT” or “CONFIDENTIAL” printed diagonally across the first page or all of the pages of a document.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored on 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 need only tell the machine 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.
1
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. If needed, save the file for later use.

Cleaning Your Machine

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.
N
OTES
:
• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
• Cleaning the cabinet of your machine with products containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the Outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine 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 inside the machine.

Cleaning the Inside

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

Saving Toner
To save toner, use the Toner Save feature; see page 1.21. Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces the print quality.
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.
