Student performance objectives

Set up and configure
By the completion of this module, students should be able to:

 Connect the product's cables

 Load the paper trays

Preparing paper

 Use only print media that meets the specifications required by the machine.
 If you use print media that does not meet the specifications outlined in this
guide, the following problems may occur:

o Low printing quality, paper jams, excessive wear on the machine

 The weight, material, surface condition, and moisture content of the print
media may affect the performance and printing quality of the machine.
 Some print media may not produce the desired result even if it meets the
specifications outlined in this guide.This may occur due to mishandling of the
print media, unsuitable temperature or humidity, or other uncontrollable
factors.
 Using print media that does not meet the specifications outlined in this guide
may result in machine malfunctions that require repairs.Such repairs are not
covered by the warranty agreement.
 Do not use inkjet photo print media with this machine. Doing so may damage
the machine.
 Do not use creased, torn, or damp print media.

Warning
The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the printer may lead to
overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a fire.

Overview
The paper setting in the machine and driver should match in order to print without a paper
mismatch error.

Or if your machine supports a display screen, you can set it using the   (Menu) button
on the control panel.
Then, set the paper type from the Printing preferences window > Paper tab> Paper
Type.
NOTE:
When using special media, we recommend you feed one sheet at a time.
Illustrations in this guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or
models. Check your machine type.

Card stock/Custom-sized paper

In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the
edges of the material.

Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge
at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note
that print quality is not guaranteed.

 Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for
0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
 Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect
machine rollers.
 Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.

Setting the paper size and type

The paper setting in the machine and driver should match in order to avoid a paper
mismatch error.

Or if your machine supports a display screen, you can set it using the   (Menu) button
on the control panel.
Then, set the paper type from the Printing preferences window > Paper tab> Paper
Type.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to press OK to navigate to lower-level menus for some
models.
After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the control panel
buttons.

1. Select   (Menu) > System Setup > Paper Setup > Paper Size or Paper

Type on the control panel.
2. Select the tray and the option you want.
3. Press OK to save the selection.

4. Press   (Stop) button to return to ready mode.

NOTE:
If you want to use special-sized paper such as billing paper, select the Paper tab
> Size >Edit... and set Custom Paper Size Settings in the Printing
Preferences.
