An overlay  is text and/or  images  stored  in the computer  hard disk  drive  (HDD) as a  special file format  that  can  be
printed on any document.  Overlays are often used to  take  the place  of letterhead paper. Rather  than  using
preprinted letterhead, you can  create an overlay  containing  exactly the same  information  that  is currently on your
letterhead. To print  a  letter  with your  company’s  letterhead, you do not need  to  load  preprinted letterhead paper in

							Media and tray
This chapter provides  information  on how to  load  originals and  print  media into your  machine.
This chapter includes:
Preparing originals
Loading  originals
Selecting  print  media
Changing the tray  size
Loading  paper in the tray
Printing  on special media
Setting  the paper size and  type
Using the output support
Preparing originals
Do not load  paper smaller than  142 x  148 mm (5.6  x  5.8 inches)  or larger  than  216 x  356 mm  (8.5  x  14 inches).
Do not attempt to  load  the following types of paper, in order  to  prevent  paper jam,  low  print  quality,  and
machine damage.
Carbon -paper or carbon-backed paper
Coated  paper
Onion  skin  or thin  paper
Wrinkled or creased paper
Curled  or rolled paper
Torn paper
Remove all staples  and  paper clips before loading.
Make sure  any glue, ink,  or correction  fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading.
Do not load  originals that  include different sizes  or weights  of paper.
Do not load  booklets, pamphlets,  transparencies, or documents with other unusual  characteristics.
Loading originals
You  can  use the scanner  glass to  load  an original for copying and  scanning.
1.  Lift and  open the scanner  lid.
2.  Place  the original face down  on the scanner  glass. And  align it  with the registration  guide at the top left  corner of
the glass.
 
						

							3.  Close  the scanner  lid.
Leaving the scanner  lid  open while  copying may affect copy  quality and  toner consumption.
Dust on the scanner  glass may cause black  spots on the printout.  Always keep it  clean (See Cleaning
the scan  unit ).
If  you are copying a  page  from  a  book  or magazine,  lift the scanner  lid  until its  hinges  are caught by
the

 stopper and  then  close  the lid. If  the book  or magazine is thicker  than  30
 mm,
  start  copying with
the

 lid  open.
Be  careful not to  damage  the scanner  glass. You  may get  hurt.
Do not put your  hands  on the scanner  unit  while  closing the scanner  lid. The  scanner  lid  may fall  on
your  hands  and  cause injury.
Do not look the light  from  inside  of the scanner  while  copying or scanning. It is harmful to  eyes.
Selecting print media
You  can  print  on a  variety of print  media,  such as plain paper, envelopes, labels,  and  transparencies. Always use print
media that  meet the guidelines for use with your  machine.
Guidelines to  select the print media
Print media that  does  not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
Poor print  quality
Increased  paper jams
Premature wear  on the machine.
Properties,  such as weight, composition, grain,  and  moisture  content, are important  factors  that  affect the
machine’s  performance  and  the output quality.  When  you choose print  materials,  consider the following:
The  type, size,  and  weight  of the print  media for your  machine are described in print  media specifications (See
Print media specifications  ).
Desired outcome: The  print  media you choose should be appropriate for your  project.
Brightness:  Some  print  media are whiter than  others  and  produce  sharper,  more  vibrant images.
Surface smoothness: The  smoothness  of the print  media affects  how crisp  the printing looks  on the paper.
Some  print  media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and  still not produce  satisfactory results.
This may be the result  of improper handling, unacceptable  temperature  and  humidity levels, or other
variables  over which cannot be controlled.
Before  purchasing large  quantities  of print  media,  ensure that  it  meets the requirements  specified in this
user’s guide.
Using print  media that  does  not meet these specifications may cause problems,  requiring  repairs. Such repairs
are not covered by the warranty or service  agreements.
The  amount  of paper put into the tray  may differ according to  media type used (See 
Print media specifications
).
