You can use the 4600N to print on a wide variety of media
and sizes. SuperScript 4600N paper handling features let you
manage print jobs and office tasks efficiently.
Supported Media
Use any light or medium weight copier paper to print out
draft copies of your documents. Then, for the best results on
final documents, you should consider using NEC’s Premium
papers.
Premium Color Laser Paper - 24 lb. Bond:
A bright
paper with a super smooth finish for brilliant color
reproduction. Use this for correspondence, proposals,
charts, graphs, and illustrations.
Premium Color Laser Paper - 60 lb. Cover:
A heavier
stock that is ideal for report covers, mailers, greeting
cards and invitations.
Ultra Glossy Color Laser Paper - 100 lb. Text:
Has a
double-sided glossy finish that is preferred for
professional printing and photographic art. Use this for
data sheets, brochures, and client presentations.
Premium Overhead Transparencies:
Use this for
brilliant projected images.
Your Starter Kit includes a sampler of NEC Premium papers.
See page 94 for information about ordering NEC premium
papers and other printer supplies. If you do not have the
NEC Premium papers, try to match them as closely as
possible for the best printing results. Appendix B, “Media
Specifications,” has more information about choosing media.
When printing special media, be sure to load the paper tray
only to the mark indicated for that media. When printing on
thick or glossy stock, set the Media Type to
Thick Stock
on
the printer Operator Panel, and reset it to Paper when you
are done (see page 59 for instructions).
Supported Paper Sizes
You can print on a variety of paper sizes including
*Not available in PCL printer drivers.
note:
To print Legal size paper, you must install the
optional Legal Paper Tray into Paper Tray 1 or Paper Tray 2.
Paper Source Selections
In your printer driver, you can specify which paper tray the
printer should use for your print job: Tray 1, Tray 2 (option),
or AutoSelect. When you specify AutoSelect, the printer
automatically selects the right tray based on the media type
in the trays. The printer can detect paper sizes based on how
the trays are adjusted. Therefore, it is important to adjust the
paper trays properly.
Orientation
Orientation describes the position of images on a page with
respect to the long and short edges of the paper. You can print
three ways.
Portrait
means the page has a vertical orientation
(the default).
Landscape
means the page has a horizontal
orientation.
Rotated Landscape
means the page has a horizontal
orientation and is flipped.
Number of Copies
You can set the number of copies to be printed up to 999
(99 for PCL).
