Guidelines for heavy paper

Follow these guidelines when printing on heavy paper:

●Paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb) should be printed only from tray 1. To reduce curl and other problems, print heavy paper from tray 1 to the rear output bin.

●To help prevent toner from rubbing off of the paper, some heavier paper types should be printed using a higher fuser mode. At the printer control panel, open the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu. On the PRINT QUALITY submenu, select FUSER MODES, and then select the media type that you want to modify. Select either HIGH 1 or HIGH 2 as the fuser mode. Using these modes helps prevent toner from rubbing off the page, but using them might slow the printer speed or create other problems, such as increased curl.

Guidelines for custom-size paper

Follow these guidelines when printing on any custom-size paper:

●Feed the paper short-edge first.

●In your program, set page margins at least 4.23 mm (0.17 inch) away from the edges.

●Set the custom size in the program, in the printer driver, or at the printer control panel. Make sure that you set the switch in the tray to Custom. See Setting custom paper sizes.
