B4400, B4400L/B4600, B4600L User’s Guide – Paper recommendations > 43 INSTALLING PAPER 1.Remove the paper tray from the bottom of the printer and place plain paper in the tray, keeping the level of the paper in the tray below the guide arrowheads shown on the paper guides (1). NOTE If you are topping up the paper in a paper tray, it is recommended that you remove the remaining paper from the tray first then add the new paper stock followed by the paper you removed. This ensures that the oldest paper is used first to help prevent paper jams. 1 234 Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
B4400, B4400L/B4600, B4600L User’s Guide – Paper recommendations > 44 2.Adjust the rear paper support (2) to the size of paper you are using by gripping the lugs (3), tilting and sliding the support forwards or backwards as necessary. 3.Adjust the paper guides (1). It is important to adjust the paper guides correctly to ensure that the paper is not skewed in the print process. Paper jams may occur if this operation is not carried out correctly. 4.Replace the tray in the printer. The paper level indicator (4) provides a visual indication of how much paper is left in the tray. FACE UP AND FACE DOWN PRINTING For face down printing, make sure the Rear Output Stacker is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer). The Output Stacker on the top of the printer stacks printed pages face down, capacity 150 sheets of weight 80 g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down). For face up printing, make sure the face up Rear Output Stacker is open and the paper guide is extended if required. In this condition, paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings. Paper is stacked in reverse order, capacity 50 sheets of weight 80 g/m². Always use this tray in conjunction with the Manual Feed Tray for heavyweight stocks to reduce the possibility of paper jams. NOTE Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of the paper tray. NOTE If you have the optional second paper tray (Tray 2) and you are printing from the first (upper) tray (Tray 1), you can pull out the second (lower) tray to reload it. However, if printing from the second (lower) tray, do not pull out the first (upper) tray as this will result in a paper jam. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals

B4400, B4400L/B4600, B4600L User’s Guide – Paper recommendations > 46 HEAVYWEIGHT PAPER OR CARDSTOCK The normal paper path from a main paper tray to the top output stack involves two complete U-turns. This may sometimes cause very heavyweight paper or cardstock to jam or misfeed. Use the Manual Feed Tray to feed this type of paper and the Rear Output Stacker to collect printed output. This gives a nearly straight paper path through the machine and may prove more reliable in this type of application. PAPER FEED, SIZE AND MEDIA SETTING The process used to fuse (fix) the printed image to the paper involves a mixture of pressure and heat. Too much heat will cause lightweight paper to crease or curl and corrugations in transparencies. Too little heat will cause the image not to fuse fully into heavyweight paper.
