Manual Double-Sided Copy
1. Print the first side of the paper.
2. Remove the paper from the output tray, straighten any curling edges, and allow
it to cool thoroughly.
3. Load the paper using the following guidelines:
For best results when printing on the second side, feed sheets individually or slip-feed
(feed a blank sheet between each printed sheet) to prevent toner from sticking to
adjacent pages.
a. Determine whether to load the media short or long edge first. See
“Loading Media” earlier in this chapter.
b. Print a test page or check your software documentation to determine the
orientation of the media’s top edge.
c. Load media into the multipurpose feeder print side up.
4. Print the second side.
Printing with Various Media Types
This section covers printing on film, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. It also lists
Myriad film sizes. Chapter 1 provides information on the multipurpose feeder and
chapter 8 contains printing troubleshooting procedures.
Printing Film
With XANTÉ’s optional patented NEIT, you can print directly to XANTÉ’s Myriad
film to create an image for burning metal plates and silk screen emulsions, bypassing
camera and darkroom steps.
Myriad film is a specially designed film with low UV blockage. The transmissive
density of the toner on Myriad film is increased from 1.5 or 1.6 up to 3.0 to 3.3 when
processed through FilmStar 4.
