Setting media thickness

Because the printer accommodates varying media weights in the Multi-Purpose Feeder, you can manually select a media thickness for the most reliable paper-picking. The Media Thickness switch is only applicable for the Multi-Purpose Feeder.

Follow these steps to adjust the media thickness:

1.Open the left side door. The blue Media Thickness switch is located on the paper feeder and has three settings:

a.Thin

b.Medium

c.Thick

Thin	Medium	Thick
a	b	c	9698-24

2.Move the switch to the setting for the desired media. Use the guidelines in the following table to determine which type of media requires which setting.

Thin	Medium	Thick
Laser paper	Laser paper *	Cover stock up to 176 g/m2 (65 lb.)
75 - 105 g/m2	109 - 150 g/m2 (29 - 39 lb.)
(20 - 28 lb.)
	Tektronix Glossy coated	Card stock / Index up to 165 g/m2 (90 lb.)
	paper
	Tektronix Transparencies	Tektronix Fabric Transfer Media
		Labels
		Envelopes

*For the best coverage when using heavy laser paper (over 105 g/m2, 28 lb.) in the Multi-Purpose Feeder, select Card as the media type.

Note If you experience frequent paper jams at the Multi-Purpose Feeder, move the media thickness switch to a thicker setting. If you experience frequent double-feed errors at- the Multi-Purpose Feeder, move the media thickness switch to a thinner setting.
