Plain Paper Follow these guidelines when selecting paper: Paper that is too thick or too thin, or that has irregular shapes, cutouts, or perforations should not be used. Never use paper that is wet, highly textured, rough, torn, wrinkled, or damaged. Extremely smooth paper or paper with special coatings does not print well. The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at about 190° C (374° F). Do not use thermal or carbon paper, or paper with glue, staples, clips, or ribbons. For colored paper, use colors that are not damaged by the heat of the printer's fixing assembly (about 190° C or 374° F). Transparencies The acceptable sizes are Letter or A4. The transparencies must be able to withstand the heat generated by the fixing assembly (about 190° C or 374° F) without damage. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 9 Paper Handling Labels Labels are paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acceptable sizes are Letter and A4. Note the following conditions when choosing a label sheet: The label print face (top, or face sheet) must be made of ordinary, matte-finish paper similar to copy paper. The paper backing must be able to withstand the heat generated by the fixing assembly (about 190° C or 374° F). The backing must not be made of easily removable coated paper. Do not use labels with exposed adhesive, which may stick to the EP22 cartridge or the fixing roller, causing the labels to peel off and serious paper jams to occur. Envelopes Follow these guidelines when printing on envelopes: Envelopes must not have any fasteners, snaps, or windows, or be made of artificial materials. Do not use envelopes that discolor or melt at about 190° C (374° F), envelopes which might emit dangerous fumes when heated, or envelopes that seal with pressure-sensitive adhesives. Do not use envelopes which are damaged, curled or wrinkled, or that have an irregular shape. Do not use oversized envelopes, or envelopes with folds. 10 Paper Handling Chapter 2 Poorly manufactured envelopes are not recommended. Postcards Follow these guidelines when printing on postcards: Postcards should not be greater than 0.28 mm in thickness. Postcards should be free of glue, clips, and staples. Do not use postcards that are damaged or curled, or that have special coatings or an irregular shape. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 11 Paper Handling Storing Paper Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper: Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity. Do not store paper directly on the floor as the floor is usually humid. If you must store paper in a very humid place, use a specially designed storage box. Keep paper on a flat surface to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl. Do not stack paper too high to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl. Do not subject paper to direct sunlight or a humid environment. If paper is moved to a place with a very different temperature, leave it there for about one day before using it; otherwise it could curl or develop wrinkles. 12 Paper Handling Chapter 2 Paper Path Understanding how paper travels inside the printer helps you better handle paper loading and jams. A sheet of paper enters the printer from the MP tray or the manual feed slot. It travels to the image transfer area where the printer drum has been statically charged. A laser beam changes the static charge on the drum and toner clings to those parts of the drum. As the paper rolls across the drum, the toner transfers to the paper. The toner is then fused to the paper by the fixing assembly. The paper either comes out from the face-up delivery slot or travels to the face-down delivery slot, depending on the paper delivery method selected. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 13 Paper Handling Selecting Paper Delivery Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery. When the selector is in the lower position, face-up delivery is selected. When the selector is in the upper position, face-down delivery is selected. Face-down Face-up Face-down Delivery Use face-down delivery for plain paper only. Printouts are stacked in order in the face-down delivery slot (which can hold up to 100 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper). To select face-down delivery, move the paper delivery selector up. Do not replace paper in the face-down delivery slot once it is removed from the slot. This could result in damage to the flaps inside the slot. Never insert paper or other objects into the face-down delivery slot. 14 Paper Handling Chapter 2 Face-up Delivery Use face-up delivery for envelopes and transparencies, as well as other special paper, including non-standard sized plain paper. Printouts come out from the face-up delivery slot face up. This helps prevent paper curl. To select face-up delivery, push the paper delivery selector down. Do not pull on the printout while it is still emerging from the face-up delivery slot. Do not switch the paper delivery selector until the printout has completely come out of the delivery slot. Switching the paper delivery selector while printing could cause a paper jam. Make sure there is enough room at the front of the printer for the paper to exit. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 15 Paper Handling Loading Paper into the MP Tray The multi-purpose tray can hold up to approximately 125 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper for high-volume printing. Acceptable paper sizes are Legal, Letter, A4, Executive, and B5. It also accepts transparencies, envelopes, postcards, or special paper with a maximum height of 12.5 mm. Before loading paper on the MP tray, first select the paper delivery. For envelopes, transparencies, labels, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and facedown delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper with weight between 64 and 105 g/m2. For more details, see "Selecting Paper Delivery" on page 14. Follow the steps below to load a stack of paper. Make sure that the input paper support is inserted into its slot in the printer. 16 Paper Handling Chapter 2 1. Prepare a stack of paper and tap it on a flat surface to properly align the edges. Do not fan the paper, or printing problems might occur. When using transparencies, slightly fan the stack of transparencies before loading them in the MP tray to prevent feed failures. 2. Align the stack of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer. The top edge of the paper stack should be toward the bottom of the MP tray. Slide the stack in until it stops. Thi s will side pr be inte do n. Do not force the paper into the printer. Do not load more than 125 sheets of 75 g/m2 plain paper, or a stack of any paper higher than 12.5 mm. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 17 Paper Handling 3. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper stack. For A4-size or Letter/Legal-size paper, align the paper guides with the icons inside the MP tray. Adjust the paper guides so that there is no space between the paper guide and the edge of the stack of paper. When reloading, be sure to remove any paper remaining in the MP tray. Stack it together with the new sheets before loading. The MP tray is now ready to supply paper. For information on paper delivery selection, see "Selecting Paper Delivery" on page 14. 18 Paper Handling Chapter 2 Loading Envelopes into the MP Tray Before Loading Envelopes Please be sure to follow these steps before loading envelopes: 1. Place the envelopes on a flat surface and press the corners down in the direction shown to flatten the envelopes. Paper Handling 2. Flex the envelope stack, including all four edges, to remove any stiffness. Correct any bent corners on the envelopes. Check all four corners. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 19 3. Align the stack of envelopes by tapping them on a flat surface. Loading Envelopes 1. Align the stack of envelopes so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer. Slide the stack in until it stops. 20 Paper Handling Chapter 2 2. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the stack of envelopes. Most applications allow you to choose which way envelopes feed into the printer. Make sure your printer settings before you print. When using C5-size envelopes, remove any stiffness by lightly flexing both edges of the envelope. Chapter 2 Paper Handling 21 Paper Handling Insert the envelopes one at a time into the MP tray, in the direction shown in the illustration. 1 2 2 If the flap is along the long edge of the envelope, insert each envelope with the flap at the back and on the right. If the flap is along the short edge of the envelope, insert envelopes with the flap at the bottom and at the back. The illustrations below show acceptable and unacceptable arrangements of the flaps of envelopes in a stack. Acceptable The flap of each envelope should be separate, not overlapping the edges of any of the other envelopes in the stack. 22 Paper Handling Chapter 2 Not Acceptable If the flap of any of the envelopes overlaps the edges of other envelopes in the stack, like those in the examples below, paper jams or misfeeds will occur. Flaps overlapping the envelopes underneath Flaps overlapping Top flap overlaps the envelopes underneath Chapter 2 Paper Handling 23 Paper Handling Loading Paper Manually The manual feed slot allows you to load paper manually, one sheet at a time. You can load transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, or other special paper. You can also load plain paper, which is useful when you want to use paper that is a different size from the paper in the MP tray. Before loading paper manually, always select the paper delivery first. For transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and face-down delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper with weight between 64 and 105 g/m2. For details, see "Selecting Paper Delivery" on page 14. Align the sheet of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer and the top of the paper is inserted first. Slide the sheet of paper into the manual feeding slot until it stops (see in the illustrations below).
