PRINTING AND
PAPER HANDLING
Use a media mode (option: -2 to 5) in the extension mode if you
cannot be satisfied with the normal mode and want to make fine
adjustment. Select an appropriate option as follows:
-2: Thin paper when resulting in waving
-1: Thin paper when resulting in light printing with duplex unit
0: Ordinary paper
1: Thick paper
2: Thick envelope when resulting in toner easily coming off
3: Thick envelope when resulting in light printing
4: Thick rough paper when resulting in smudging
5: Thick rough paper when resulting in light printing
For light printing, see the print quality problems at first. Media
mode for light printing affects only under the limited usage.
With mode number 2, 3, 4, or 5 selected, continuous printing is
allowed up to 30 minutes.
General Tips
Observe the following tips when handling print media.
• Do not use paper that is wrinkled or curled.
• Do not use paper with staples or metal parts.
• When printing both sides of sheets and your printer is a
PrintPartner 12MX, we recommend you to use an optional duplex
unit. If your printer is PrintPartner 12M, use the MFF (in this case,
remove curls after first printing). Use paper in 60 to 105 g/m
2 (16
to 28 pound) weight for the duplex unit and 60 to 199 g/m
2
(16 to
53 pound) weight for the MFF. Paper thinner than this weight may
be wrinkled thus causing decrease in print quality.
• Two-sided printing is not allowed for transparencies, envelopes,
and labels even if your printer has the duplex unit.
