Introduction
This chapter covers basic printer operations, including using print
media, loading paper, chaining input bins, clearing paper jams, and
replacing the toner cartridge. It also explains how to disable the
start-up page, print a status page, cancel print jobs, and care for
your printer.
Using Print Media
Page Sizes and Imageable Regions
Your printer supports paper, transparencies, and labels in various
sizes. Each size has a certain imageable region (table 5.1), the
maximum area a printer can access. It is subject to both hardware
limits (physical page size and margins required by the printer) and
software constraints (amount of memory available for the full-page
frame buffer).
