All about media

The printer prints on letter- and A4-size ofÞce paper, transparencies, peel-off labels (such as Avery 5160), and nonglossy cover stock. Tektronix premium and standard grades of transparency media are designed to provide optimal image quality and reliable operation. Tektronix premium transparencies offer enhanced print quality and ink adhesion for overhead transparencies.

Note Made For Each Other¨: Tektronix inks and transparencies are formulated for use with this printer to ensure the best print quality and long-term reliability. Tektronix does not guarantee printer performance on non-Tektronix transparency media.

For information on ordering Tektronix transparencies and other media supplies, refer to ÒPrinter suppliesÓ on page 10-2.

Caution Never attempt two-sided or two-pass (duplex) printing on any type of media. Ink already present on the media will offset onto the internal paper path, requiring you to perform cleaning procedures.

To avoid damaging your printer, do not use perforated paper, three-holed paper, legal-size paper, or envelopes.

Do not use transparency media intended for ink-jet or thermal-wax printers.

Do not reuse paper that has already been fed through the printer, even if no image has been printed. Oil and ink residue from the media may offset onto printer parts, requiring you to clean the printer.

Keep media and other printer supplies in covered containers. Dust and dirt can be transferred to paper or transparencies, resulting in poor print quality. Paper that has been sitting out of its sealed wrapper can become distorted, causing paper jams. Do not use creased or wrinkled paper.

To avoid having the paper stick together, gently fan the paper before loading it into the paper tray.
