Tr a y l i n k i n g 82 Media specifications Tray linking Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when the same size and type of media is loaded in multiple sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one tray is empty, media feeds from the next linked tray. For example, if the same size and type of media is loaded in tray 1 and tray 2, the printer selects media from tray 1 until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds media from the next linked tray—tray 2. By linking both trays, a single source with a capacity of 1100 sheets is created. If the same size media in each tray is loaded, make sure the media is all the same type in order to link the trays. Once the selected trays are loaded with the same size and type of media, select the same Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu for these sources. To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same type of media when they are linked, a job could mistakenly print on the wrong paper type. Using the duplex function (two-sided printing) Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) allows printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. Printing on both sides of paper reduces printing costs.

Using the duplex function (two-sided printing) 83 Media specifications For sizes that are acceptable for duplex printing, see Media sizes and support. Select Duplex from the printer driver to print individual duplex jobs. Duplex printing on letterhead When duplex (two-sided) printing on letterhead from the trays, load it with the logo face-up and entering the printer first. Using Duplex Bind When Duplex Bind printing is selected in the printer driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Menu, either long edge or short edge binding must be selected, which are the values for this setting. The purpose of Duplex Bind is to define the way duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages). The two values for Duplex Bind are: Long Edge* The asterisk (*) indicates this is the factory default setting.Assumes binding along the long end of the page (left edge for portrait orientation and top edge for landscape orientation). The following illustration shows long-edge binding for portrait and landscape pages: Short EdgeAssumes binding along the short edge of the page (top edge for portrait orientation and left edge for landscape orientation).

Avoiding jams 84 Media specifications Avoiding jams Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble-free printing. See Identifying media sources and specifications for more information. Note:Try a limited sample of any print media you are considering using with the printer before purchasing large quantities. By selecting the appropriate print media and loading it properly, you can avoid most jams. See Loading standard trays and optional trays, Loading the multipurpose feeder, or Loading the high capacity feeder for detailed tray loading instructions. The following hints can help you avoid jams: Use only recommended print media. Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the stack line on the labels in the sources. Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media. Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If jams do occur with print media, try feeding one sheet at a time through the multipurpose feeder. Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself. Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source. Make sure the recommended print side is loaded in the source according to your simplex or duplex needs. Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Storing media. Do not remove trays during a print job. Push all trays in firmly after loading them. Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size of print media you have loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed too tightly against the stack of print media. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
