Setting the printer properties

You can change the printer setting in step 3. We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the fax machine before purchasing large quantities. You can change the settings on following tabs. Paper: Paper size, paper type, etc.

Output: Pages per sheet, etc.

Quality: Graphics mode, resolution, toner save feature, etc.

Note:

LTo select [Envelope] for paper type on the [Paper] tab, you need to select [Envelope

#10] or [Envelope DL] for paper size.

LWhen printing from a computer, the toner save feature on the [Quality] tab overrides the fax machine’s toner save setting (feature #482 on page 54).

7.4.2 Transparencies

Use transparencies designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:

3M® CG3300/CG5000

L Load transparency sheets one page at a time for printing, print-side down.

LRemove each transparency after printing and place it on a flat surface to cool and to prevent it from curling.

LDo not re-use transparencies that have

already been fed through the fax machine. This includes transparencies that have been fed through and ejected without being printed on.

LSome types of transparencies have instructions recommending which side to print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing on the other side.

7.4.3 Labels

Use labels designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:

Avery® 5160/5161/5162/5163/5164/5165/5167/5168
