Appendix Paper weight The printer is designed to work well with most types of paper. However, differences in paper may have significant effects on the quality of the print or the reliability of paper handling. It is strongly recommended that you always test paper before purchasing it to make sure it provides desirable performance. ■ Margins and print area When the image is printed on the media, the image (print area) is a bit smaller than the media size.
Appendix ■ Two-sided printing (Duplex printing) Two-sided printing is possible by using the MP tray, the 1st cassette or the OPT cassette (optional 2nd feeder). However, you should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with one-sided printing. We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines below.
Appendix • To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies and labels recommended for use in laser printers. • To avoid damaging the printer, do not use ink jet transparency. • Transparencies and adhesive material of labels should be stable at 205°C (400°F), the printer’s maximum temperature.
Appendix ■ Envelopes It is recommended that you print and purchase high quality envelopes with diagonal seams, as shown in the diagram below: High quality envelopes have the following characteristics: • A thin, sharply creased leading edge • Paper weight of 75 g/m2 (20 lbs.) • Flat, free of curls, wrinkles, nicks, etc. NOTE • Wrinkle may occur in some case, even if high quality envelopes are used. • When wrinkle occurs, try printing with the envelope flap tucked in as shon below.
Appendix It is not recommended that you use envelopes with any of the following characteristics (using these may result in paper jams): • Irregularly shaped envelopes • Envelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dog-ears or other damage • Envelopes with side seam construction • Highly textured envelopes, or with extremely shiny surfaces • Envelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip • Envelopes with more than one flap to be sealed
Appendix • Self-adhesive envelopes • Envelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased • Embossed envelopes • Envelopes that have previously been printed on Do not attempt to print on any of the following types of envelopes. These may cause damage to your printer.
Appendix ■ For best printing results • Avoid printing in high humidity i.e., above 70% RH. High humidity may cause the envelope to curl and pick up excess toner. High humidity may also cause the envelope to seal. • Avoid printing below 10°C (50°F) with less than 30% RH. Low temperature with low humidity may cause light printing. Envelope storage is very important. Store them away from moisture and humid air, where they can lay flat and their edges won’t be bent or damaged.
Appendix Bi-directional parallel interface The bi-directional parallel interface is based on the IEEE P1284-B standard. If your computer has a bi-directional parallel port, the printer driver and printer can take advantage of the fastest possible data transfer. Specifications: Connector type 57-30360 (AMPHENOL) or equivalent cable use a shielded cable 2 meters (6.
Appendix NOTES • “Return” denotes the return side wire of a twisted pair cable and is connected to signal ground. • Be sure to use only a shielded cable.
