About the Printer

The printer uses a data modulated laser beam and conventional dry-ink xerographic processes to produce images up to 1200 dpi resolution at a paper output speed of 26 pages per minute. The printer can accommodate both plain paper and other print media, and feeds paper from either a main 550-sheet paper tray or from the front tray, which is designed to feed special print media such as labels and transparencies.

There are four paper handling options available for the printer. A Duplexer allows two-sided printing. A 550-Sheet Feeder creates additional paper capacity or variety. An Envelope Feeder allows printing envelopes. An Offset Catch Tray holds and separates large print jobs.

NOTE: The printer automatically recognizes an option after the option is installed. The printer driver does not. You must enable (activate) the option in the printer driver after the option is installed.

The steps you will follow vary according to both your operating system and your installed printer driver. Here are the general steps you will follow.

Select the driver you want to work with.

Locate the printer properties section within the printer driver. Use the pulldown window to select the option.

Activate the option.

You may connect the printer to either a local computer or a computer network system. Applica- tion and print driver software on the computer controls image generation and print processing. The computer sends the electronic image to the printer, where the printer turns the electronic image into a black and white printed image.
