Clearance space Front: 482.6 mm (enough space so that tray can be opened) Back: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation) Right: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation) Left: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation) Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
2.1 2 Basic setup This chapter includes: • Printing a demo page • Using toner save mode Printing a demo page After setting up your printer, print a demo page to make sure that the printer is operating correctly. Press and hold the Cancel button for about 2 seconds. A demo page prints out. Using toner save mode Toner save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page. Activating this mode extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page beyond what one would experience in the normal mode, but it reduces print quality. This setting is not available with the 1200dpi (Best) setting. You can set the toner save mode from the printer properties window on your printer driver. See the Software Section.

5.1 5 Loading print media This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality. This chapter includes: • Selecting print media • Loading paper • Knowing an output location 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 printer. 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 printer Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print media, consider the following: • Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project. • Size: You can use any size print media that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray. • Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows: - 16 to 43 lb (60 to 163 g/m 2) for the standard tray and manual tray - 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) for the manual duplex printing • 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. Notes • 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 Xerox has no control. • Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide. Caution • Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Xerox’s warranty or service agreements.

5.3 Guidelines for selecting and storing print media When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep these guidelines in mind: • Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on the next column. • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. • For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers. • Avoid using the following print media types: - Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough - Erasable bond paper - Multi-paged paper - Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper - Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. • Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer. • Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl. • Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 o C and 30o C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%. • Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper. • Load special print media types one sheet at a time through the manual tray to avoid paper jams. • To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out. Caution • If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution. Guidelines for special print media Ty p eGuidelines Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: - Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m 2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur. - Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air. - Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. - Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during operation. • Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds. • Do not use stamped envelopes. • Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials. • Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes. • Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. • Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser. • For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope. • Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
