ENChapter 2: Printing Tasks 29 Adjust the Paper Stop For printing stacks of large paper only, the paper stop on the top output bin prevents long paper from being pushed over the edge of the printer. 1Push in the center of the paper stop to release it. 2Pull the paper stop out until it stops. 3Flip up the end section. 4Adjust the paper stop to the desired size.
30 Chapter 2: Printing Tasks EN Loading Tray 1 Note To avoid paper jams, do not load trays while the printer is printing. Tray 1 is a multi-purpose tray that holds a variety of paper, including up to 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, or 20 index cards. The printer might pull paper from Tray 1 first. To change this, see page 58. For suppor ted sizes of paper, see page A-3. 1Open Tray 1 and pull out the tray extension. 2If the paper being loaded is longer than 9 in (229 mm), flip open the second tray extension. 3Set the side guides to the desired size. 4Load Tray 1. Paper should fit under the arrows and tabs on the guides. For correct orientation, see page 41. For example, load letter, A4, A5, Executive, and B5 size paper with the long edge toward the printer. Load other sizes of paper with the short edge toward the printer. 5Make sure the guides touch the edges of the paper without bending it.
ENChapter 2: Printing Tasks 31 Loading Tray 2/Optional 250-Sheet Tray The following instructions are for loading Tray 2 or an optional 250-sheet paper tray. For supported sizes of paper, see page A-4. Note To avoid paper jams, do not load trays while the printer is printing. 1Pull the tray completely out of the printer. Lift the tray cover. 2Rotate the dial in the tray so the printer will read the correct size of paper. The toggle switch accesses more sizes. An error message will appear in the control panel display if the dial is not set properly. Note Setting the dial adjusts the printer’s sensors. It does not adjust the guides inside the tray. 3Make sure the paper size setting matches the size of paper loaded, or the printer might jam or other errors might occur. 4Tilt the blue rear guide toward the front of the tray to detach it. Continued on the next page.
32 Chapter 2: Printing Tasks EN 5Align the rear guide with the desired paper size. With the guide angled slightly toward the front of the tray, insert the two front tabs (A) into the appropriate holes. Push the guide upright, snapping the center tab (B) into place. The guide must always be placed correctly in the tray (even for 11 x 17 or A3 paper). 6Adjust the side guides to the proper size. 7Load the tray. For correct orientation, see page 41. 8Make sure the paper is flat in the tray at all four corners and below the tabs on the guides. 9Close the tray cover. Slide the tray back into the printer. Note If you want to print by type and size of paper from the printer driver, configure the tray settings in the printer’s control panel to match the type of paper loaded in each tray (page 60). B AA
ENChapter 2: Printing Tasks 33 Loading the 500-Sheet Tray (Optional) The following instructions are for loading standard sizes in a 500-sheet tray (optional). For supported sizes of paper, see page A-5. To load custom-sizes, see page 50. Note To avoid paper jams, do not load trays while the printer is printing. 1Pull the tray completely out of the printer and place it on a flat surface. 2Squeeze the release on the back of the rear paper guide. Slide the guide to the desired paper size. 3Squeeze the release on the outside of the left guide and adjust the left and right guides to match the width of the paper. The guides should touch the paper without bending it. 4Load the tray. For correct orientation, see page 41. 5Make sure the paper is flat in the tray at all four corners and below the tabs on the guides. Continued on the next page.
34 Chapter 2: Printing Tasks EN 6aWhen loading a full stack of media, continue to step 6B. Otherwise, proceed to step 7. 6bAlign the tension lever up or down to match the symbol displayed in the tension indicator window. 7To prevent jams, rotate the dial in the tray so the printer will read the correct size of paper. The toggle switch accesses more sizes. An error message will appear in the control panel display if the dial is not set properly. 8Slide the tray into the printer. Note If you want to print by type and size of paper from the printer driver, configure the tray settings in the printer’s control panel to match the type of paper loaded in each tray (page 60).
ENChapter 2: Printing Tasks 35 Printing Both Sides of Paper (Optional Duplexer) The printer can automatically print on both sides of paper with an optional duplex printing accessory (duplexer). This is called duplexing. To order optional accessories, see page 8. NoteSee the documentation included with the duplexer for complete installation and setup instructions. Duplexing might require additional memory (page C-1). The duplexer supports sizes from 5.8 by 8.3 inches (148 by 210 mm) to 11.7 by 17 inches (297 by 432 mm). Prepunched paper should be printed in a rotated direction for 2-sided printing (page 47). Figure 8 Printer with the Optional Duplexer Duplexer Rear Section Duplexer Top Cover Duplexer Base
36 Chapter 2: Printing Tasks EN Guidelines for Printing Both Sides of Paper CautionDo not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes, vellum, or paper heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2). Damage to the printer and paper jamming might result. WARNING!To avoid personal injury and damage to the printer, do not lift the printer with the duplexer installed. Before relocating the printer, separate the duplexer and optional trays from the printer. You might need to configure the printer driver to recognize the duplexer. (See the printer software help for details.) To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from the software or printer driver. (See the printer software help.) If the printer driver does not have this option, change the Duplex setting from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel to DUPLEX=ON. Also in the Paper Handling Menu, set Binding to long edge or short edge. (For more information, see page 39.) Be sure that Tray 2 is in place with its cover down. (The paper passes over this cover when duplexing.) Close the rear output bin to use the duplexer (page 26). Opening the rear output bin disables the duplexer.
ENChapter 2: Printing Tasks 37 Separating the Printer from the Duplexer Before you lift the printer, always separate the printer from the duplexer. 1Slide the rear section of the duplexer away from the printer. 2Lift the printer off the duplexer. Figure 9 Separating the Printer from the Duplexer
38 Chapter 2: Printing Tasks EN Paper Orientation for Printing Both Sides of Paper The duplexer prints the second side of paper first, so paper such as letterhead, prepunched, and preprinted paper need to be oriented as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10 Paper Orientation for Printing Both Sides of Paper For Tray 1, load the first side facing down. Load letter, A4, A5, Executive, and B5 paper with the top, short edge toward the right. Load other sizes with the top, short edge toward the printer. For all other trays, load the first side facing up. Load letter, A4, A5, Executive, and B5 paper with the top, short edge toward the right. Load other sizes with the top, short edge toward the front of the tray. Tray 1All other trays
