The N-up setting does not 
work correctly for some 
of my documents.The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of 
the PostScript data that is being sent to the printing 
system. However, such post-processing can only be 
adequately achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the 
Adobe Document Structing Conventions. Problems may 
arise when using N-up and other features relying on post-
processing if the document being printed isn’t compliant.

How do I specify the IP 
address of my SMB 
server?It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialog of the 
configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing 
system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow to 
specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to 
be able to browse the resource with Samba in order to be 
able to print.
Some documents come 
out as white pages when 
printing.Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with 
Mandrake Linux before...

Paper Specifications
Overview
Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-sheet 
paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), 
envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size paper. 
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture 
content, are important factors affecting the printer’s performance 
and the output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines 
outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the following problems:
• Poor print...

Supported Sizes of Paper
Note: You may experience jams when using print materials with a 
length of less than 127 mm (5 in.). For optimum performance, 
ensure that you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please 
refer to “Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page 6.7.

Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. 
Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, 
tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or 
bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading (such 
as, bond or recycled), check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, 
jamming or even damage to the printer.

Printer and Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed 
operation.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at 
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember 
that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the 
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense 
on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners...
