Page 75: Print Media Guidelines
Print Media Guidelines Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps you to avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to help you make print media selections, how to care for the print media, and how to load it in the tray 1, optional tray 2, or MPF.
Page 76 Moisture Content The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance. Grain Direction Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper.
Page 77 Unacceptable Paper The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer: • Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper • Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer •...
Page 78 Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer: • Use long grain papers for best results. • Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Page 79 Printing on a Letterhead paper Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead paper that you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers. Page orientation is important when printing on a letterhead paper. Use the following table for help when loading a letterhead paper in the print media sources.
Page 80: Transparencies
Selecting Prepunched Paper Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques. Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper: • Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.
Page 81 • To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers. • For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 90 g/m (24 lb bond) weight for the MPF as long as the cotton content is 25 percent or less.
Page 82: Labels
NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to open and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially helpful for DL and C5 size envelopes. • A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
Page 83: Card Stock
• Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer. • Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. • Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive. Card Stock Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality.

Page 88: Selecting An Output Location
Selecting an Output Location The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up). Rear Door Output Tray To use the output tray, ensure that the rear door is closed. To use the rear door, open it. NOTE: If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear door.
Page 89: Printing To The Output Tray (Face Down)
Printing to the Output Tray (Face down) The output tray collects printed paper face-down, in the correct order. The tray should be used for most print jobs. If necessary, expand the paper output extension to keep the print media from falling off the output tray.
Page 90: Loading Print Media In The Paper Tray
Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray You can load approximately 250 sheets of plain paper in the tray 1 or the optional tray 2. If you purchased the optional tray 2, see "Installing an Optional Tray 2" for installing instructions. For faxing, you can use A4, letter or legal paper only.
Page 91: Using The Mpf (Multi Purpose Feeder)

Page 92 Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up Depending on the paper type you are using, keep the following loading method: • Envelopes: load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
Page 93 After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the MPF. See "Setting the Paper Type" for copying and faxing or "Paper Tab" for Computer printing.

Page 98: Mpf
MPF can be configured to behave in Tray Mode or in Bypass Mode by setting the Configure MPF menu in the operator panel. Bypass Mode In this mode the printer pulls the paper from MPF first unless it is closed or empty. MPF gets the highest priority and pulls whatever media is present in the MPF.
