2.3.2 Hints: Pape6 labels and transparencies
●The best paper for the Star LaserPrinter 4111has a smooth finish and is of 60 to 105 g/mz (20 to 24 pound) weight. Any paper designed for photo- copiers should do the trick though; Xerox 4024 and Canon NPprint nicely. High quality cotton bond paper, which contains up to 25 percent cotton fibres, works passably well with even heavier weights.
The absolute limits are
●Be aware that any puckered or woven finish may not print as sharply as you’d like. Avoid shiny coated paper or multipart forms. And don’t even think about putting in stapled or ripped pages.
●If you frequently change paper weights, you will probably get skewing problems — lines thal print at an angle because of misfeeding. For best results, when your Star LaserPrinter 4111is first set up have the paper feeder “squared” for paper of at least 60 grams (20 pounds). Lighter paper, though cheaper, isn’t really,the way to economize.
●Want to print on your own preprinted letterhead? Fine — so long as your logo isn’tthermographed. Thick colored ink may look luxurious, but it can also wind up stuck all over your printer’s roller. Stay away from any inks that soften at relatively low temperatures; your printer fuses pages at
200”C.
This warning applies to colored paper too, if it has been tinted with a low- temperature dye.
●When printing starts fading because the toner is low, remove the cartridge and gently rock it back and forth half a dozen times. Don’t tip it up or the toner may spill out. Redistributing the toner powder this way can keep the cartridge going for another tray of paper.
