Cleaning
the scan unit
).
If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the scanner lid until its hinges are caught by
the stopper and then close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, start copying with
the lid open.
Be careful not to damage the scanner glass. You may get hurt.
Do not put your hands on the scanner unit while closing the scanner lid. The scanner lid may fall on
your hands and cause injury.
Do not look the light from inside of the scanner while copying or scanning. It is harmful to eyes.
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 machine.
Guidelines to select the print media
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 machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the
machine’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
The type, size, and weight of the print media for your machine are described in print media specifications (See
Print media specifications
).
Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.
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.
Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results.
This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other
variables over which cannot be controlled.
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this
user’s guide.
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs
are not covered by the warranty or service agreements.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type used (See
Print media specifications
).
