15 Print Media Guidelines Print media refers to paper, labels, envelopes, and Rough Surface paper among others. Your printer provides highquality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This section describes selecting and caring for print media. NOTE: Use only laser print media. Do not use ink jet paper in your printer. Paper For the best print quality, use 90 g/m2 (24 lb) xerographic, grain long paper.
• Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on the paper package. • Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed. • Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam. • Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress. • Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray. • Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them.
Envelopes Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling. It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. See "Loading Envelopes in the MPF" for instructions on loading envelopes. When printing on envelopes: • Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers. • Set the print media source to the MPF. Set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct size of envelope from the printer driver.
When printing on labels: • Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. • Set the paper type to Label in the printer driver. • Load labels in the MPF. Tray1 and the optional 550-sheet feeder do not support labels. • Do not load labels together with paper in the MPF. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.

22 Maintaining Your Printer You need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. Determining the Status of Supplies If your printer is connected to the network, the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool can provide instant feedback on the remaining toner level. Type the printer's IP address in your web browser to view this information. To use the E-Mail Alert Setup feature that notifies you when the printer requires new supplies, type the desired e-mail address in the e-mail list box.
Storing Print Media To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, there are several things you can do: • To achieve the best possible print quality, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21 °C (70 °F) and the relative humidity is 40 %. • Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge WARNING: Before performing any of the following procedures, read and follow the safety instructions in the Important Information.
