Use the following procedure to load plain paper, heavy paper, or transparencies.
IMPORTANT
a. Transparencies can only be printed in black and white.
b. Thoroughly fan the transparencies before loading them in the multi-purpose tray as they may stick to each other.
c. Printing speed drops when printing heavy paper or transparencies.
1. Open the multi-purpose tray, then pull out the auxiliary tray.
2. Spread the paper guides a little wider than the actual paper width.
3. Before loading transparencies, fan them in small batches and align the edges.
IMPORTANT
a. Be sure to fan the transparencies thoroughly before loading them. If they are not fanned enough, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once, causing paper jams.
b. When fanning or aligning the transparencies, try to hold the edges to avoid touching the printing surface.
c. Take care not to mark or stain the printing surface of the transparencies with fingerprints, dust, or oil. This may result in poor print quality.
4. Gently load the stack of paper with the printing side facing up until it touches the back of the tray.
Be sure that the paper stack is loaded under the paper limit guides (A).
IMPORTANT
a. The multi-purpose tray can be loaded with up to the number of sheets listed below.
- Plain paper (64 g/m2): Approx. 125 sheets
- Heavy paper (135 g/m2): Approx. 80 sheets
- Transparency (Black and white printing only): Approx. 60 sheets
b. Make sure that there is sufficient space between the paper limit guides and the paper stack. If there is no space, slightly reduce the amount of envelopes.
c. Load the paper so that it is straight.
d. If the rear edge of the paper stack is not properly aligned, it may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
e. If the paper is curled or folded at corners, flatten it before loading it in the printer.
f. If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, align the edges of the stack on a hard, flat surface.
NOTE
To print letterhead paper or paper printed with a logo, load the paper so that the printing side is facing up, as shown in the following figure.
5. Slide and align the paper guides with both sides of the stack.
IMPORTANT
a. Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
b. Store unopened transparencies at a temperature between 0 and 35°C (32 to 95°F) and a humidity between 35 and 85%.
c. Avoid leaving the transparencies exposed to the outer air and store them in their package.
d. Do not touch the paper in the multi-purpose tray or pull it out during printing. This may result in a faulty operation.
6. Specify the following options in the printer driver.
| Settings Sheet | Settings | Description | |||
| [Page Setup] Sheet | [Page Size] | Select the paper size of the document created in the application.Select the paper size of the document created by the application. | |||
| [Output Size] | From [Output Size], select the size of the loaded paper as needed. | ||||
| Select [A4] or [Letter] when printing transparencies. | |||||
| Leave the setting at [Match Page Size] when the page size and the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray are the same, since there is no need to change the setting. | |||||
| [Paper Source] Sheet | [Paper Source] | Select [Multi-purpose Tray]. | |||
| Specify the same setting as the one for [Paper Source], although the setting for [Paper Source] changes to ones such as [First Page] or [Other Pages] when other than [Same Paper for All Pages] is selected for [Paper Selection]. | |||||
| [Paper Type] | Select the paper type of the loaded paper. | ||||
| Select [Plain Paper] for plain paper, [Heavy Paper] for heavy paper, and [Transparencies] for transparencies. | |||||
IMPORTANT
When the settings for [Page Size] and [Output Size] are different from each other, the scale factor is adjusted automatically.
NOTE
a. When the optional 250-sheet paper feeder is installed and [Transparency Interleaving] is selected for [Paper Selection], you can interleave paper sheets between the transparencies.
b. "User's Guide" (PDF manual) on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer provides explanations on using the features of the printer and printer driver. By specifying the settings for the printer and printer driver for each job, you can make the best use of the printer and its functions.
