Paper Usage
Getting to Know Your Printer
You should set your printer Media Type to Thick1 or any of the other paper types that use
Thick1 fuser mode for any paper that is from 106 gsm to 159 gsm. If your paper is 160 gsm to
216 gsm, you should set your printer Media Type to Thick2 or Cardstock. If you do not get
satisfactory results using Thick1 or Thick2 on some paper types with rough or uneven surfaces,
it is possible you will get improved results using Thick3 because of the lower fuser temperature
and slower paper speed in the printer.
The fuser temperature progression is
Transparency
Thin
Thick3
Normal
Thick1
Thick2
Printing Transparencies
Transparencies can be printed from all trays, but they can not be printed on two sides using the
Duplex Module. Only use transparencies designed for laser printers so they can withstand the
heat required for fusing. It is possible to damage your printer by using unsupported
transparencies.
Loading transparencies into the trays:
1.
Remove the tray from the printer.
2.
Remove all paper from a tray before loading transparencies.
3.
Fan the stack of new transparencies before putting them in the tray.
4.
Insert the transparencies into the tray.
Place the transparencies in the input tray with the side to be printed facing up. Do not fully
load a tray with transparencies. The printer supports loading 100 transparencies or less in
a tray. Handle them by the edges with both hands and avoid getting fingerprints and
creases on them.
5.
Adjust the paper guides to fit the transparencies.
6.
Insert the tray firmly into the printer.
7.
Using the Operator Panel or EWS, select the Transparency Media Type and correct Media
Size for the tray to be used.
8.
In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Transparency as the
paper type you wish to use.
Printing Envelopes
Envelopes can be printed from all trays. There are 5 sizes of standard envelopes that can be
used. They are COM10, COM9, C5, Monarch, and DL. All other envelope sizes must be
specified as custom size. Only use envelopes designed for use in laser printers. The heat from
the fuser can melt some adhesives and possible damage your printer.
Loading envelopes into the trays:
Caution: Never use padded envelopes or those with windows or metal clasps. These
can damage your printer.
