Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of the
paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, we recommend grain long stock. For papers heavier than 135 g/m
2
(36 lb
bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, we recommend 60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain
long. If you feed papers heavier than 135 g/m
2
(36 lb bond) from the multipurpose feeder, grain short is preferred.
Ordering special supplies for label printing
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers to handle. To optimize printer performance, use the
special label fuser cleaner for printers dedicated to label printing.
To get the special label oil fuser cleaner (to use with simplex labels and vinyl labels), order print cartridge P/N 1382929. If
you need additional label fuser cleaners of this type (packaged separately from the print cartridge), order P/N 43H0814. If
you are duplexing other jobs, do not use the special label fuser cleaner that comes with this cartridge.
Duplexing of specially designed duplex labels is only supported in the S1855. You must also use a specially designed wax
fuser cleaner (P/N 99A1082) with this application. The cartridge containing this special wax fuser cleaner should be
ordered when cartridge replacements are needed.
Maintenance procedures
If the print quality begins to degrade when printing sheets of vinyl labels, we suggest you follow the three cleaning steps
below:
1
Print 5 sheets of paper.
2
Wait approximately 5 seconds.
3
Print 5 more sheets of paper.
To maintain printer feeding reliability, repeat this cleaning process every time you replace the print cartridge, more often
with some media. Failure to follow maintenance procedures could cause jamming, poor print quality, feeding problems, and
fuser problems.
