PAPER HANDLING AND
SPECIAL MEDIA
You can use the 4600N to print on a wide variety of media and sizes. SuperScript 4600N paper handling features let you manage print jobs and office tasks efficiently.
Supported Media
Use any light or medium weight copier paper to print out draft copies of your documents. Then, for the best results on final documents, you should consider using NEC’s Premium papers.

Premium Color Laser Paper - 60 lb. Cover: A heavier stock that is ideal for report covers, mailers, greeting cards and invitations.
Ultra Glossy Color Laser Paper - 100 lb. Text: Has a
Premium Overhead Transparencies: Use this for
brilliant projected images.
Your Starter Kit includes a sampler of NEC Premium papers. See page 94 for information about ordering NEC premium papers and other printer supplies. If you do not have the NEC Premium papers, try to match them as closely as possible for the best printing results. Appendix B, “Media Specifications,” has more information about choosing media.
When printing special media, be sure to load the paper tray only to the mark indicated for that media. When printing on thick or glossy stock, set the Media Type to Thick Stock on the printer Operator Panel, and reset it to Paper when you are done (see page 59 for instructions).

Paper Source Selections
In your printer driver, you can specify which paper tray the printer should use for your print job: Tray 1, Tray 2 (option), or AutoSelect. When you specify AutoSelect, the printer automatically selects the right tray based on the media type in the trays. The printer can detect paper sizes based on how the trays are adjusted. Therefore, it is important to adjust the paper trays properly.
