Guidelines for selecting and storing print media Guidelines for special print media When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, keep these guidelines in mind: Media type • Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 5.3. • 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.
Media type Guidelines Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers. • Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing temperature. • Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer. • Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
Using the tray 1 or the optional tray 2 1 Press and hold the guide lock, and slide the paper length guide to locate it in the correct paper size slot. 2 After inserting paper into the tray, adjust the support guide so that it lightly touches the paper stack. 3 Squeeze the paper width guides, as shown and slide them to the stack of paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Use the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray 1.
Notes • Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the material to warp. • If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams. 3 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up. Using the multi-purpose tray The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
5 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the software application. See the Software Section. 2 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew. 3 When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. See the Software Section. 4 Print a document.
Printing to the rear cover (Face up) Selecting an output location Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the printer face up. The printer has two output locations; the rear cover (face up) and the output tray (face down). Printing from the multi-purpose tray to the rear cover provides a straight paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the output quality with special print media. To use the rear cover, open it by pulling down.

Maintaining the toner cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
Redistributing toner cartridge Note If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life: • White streaks or light printing occurs. • Toner Low appears on the display. (ML-3051N, ML-3051ND only) • The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you that the toner level is low.
3 Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag. Clearing the Toner Low Replace Toner message When the Toner Low Replace Toner message appears you can configure not to see this message again not to disturb you. Caution Do not use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge. 4 Remove the packing tape and roll the cartridge 5 or 6 items to distribute the toner.
9 Troubleshooting Clearing paper jams Note When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if possible always pull the paper in the direction that it normally moves so as not to damage internal components. Always pull firmly and evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur again. This chapter provides helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error while using your printer.
2 3 Remove the jammed paper by gently pulling it straight out. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray 1. 4 Pull the paper straight up and out. If the paper does not move when you pull, or if you do not see the paper in this area, check the fuser area around the toner cartridge. See page 9.3. 5 Insert the trays back into the printer. Printing automatically resumes. In the multi-purpose tray Insert the tray 1 into the printer until it snaps into place.
Around the toner cartridge 1 In the paper exit area Note 1 The fuser area is hot. Take care when removing paper from the printer. Open and close the front cover. The jammed paper is automatically ejected from the printer. 2 Gently pull the paper out of the output tray. Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. If you do not see the jammed paper or if there is any resistance when you pull, stop and go to the next step. 2 Remove the jammed paper by gently pulling it straight out.
5 Release the blue strap, the rear cover stopper, and fully open the rear cover, as shown. 8 Pull the jammed paper out.
