Media hints

C A U T I O N

Do not use any media designed for inkjet printers, especially inkjet coated paper and inkjet transparencies. Inkjet media is coated with a substance that will damage the fuser; Tektronix does not furnish service for damage or malfunction caused by the use of non-Tektronix supplies or consumables. Always use Tektronix media that has been specially designed for use with Tektronix Laser Printers.

For the best print quality, load only paper in the PAPER tray and Tektronix transparencies in the TRANSPARENCY tray.

When printing a large number of sheets of paper or transparencies, use the media-specific trays for best reliability.

If you have the Automatic Duplex/Lower Tray Assembly:

Insert the Duplex Unit only in the upper (a) slot.

Insert the TRANSPARENCY tray only into the middle (b) tray slot.

Insert the PAPER tray into the middle (b) or lower (c) slot.

Always use the Multi-Purpose Tray (d) for specialty media.

When using the Multi-Purpose Tray, always select the appropriate media type in the front panel after loading the media.

When you select a media tray by location (Upper, Middle, Lower, Multi-Purpose Tray), the printer picks from that tray, regardless of the tray’s media type or size.

Always keep media in a sealed package to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness, which can affect print quality.
