Loading Media - Tektronix Phaser 550 Service Manual

Loading media

Paper/transparency: Demonstrate how to load paper or transparency film into
a paper tray.
Emphasize to the customer not to touch the printing surface of the
media; handle it by the edges only. Fingerprints can affect print
quality.
Explain that the customer should not bend the media (especially
transparency film) too sharply. Otherwise, print quality may be
affected.
Demonstrate fanning the media (especially transparency film) prior to
installing it in the paper tray.
Transparency film should not fed from the lower tray of the Lower
Tray Assembly.
Show where this is explained in the user manual.
Before loading paper into the tray, there are a few factors to consider:
Paper grain: short or long
Grade, weight and thickness:
Bond: 61 to 90 g/m
Follow these guidelines when you make transparencies:
Use only Tektronix transparencies .
Be sure to load transparencies with the printing side down.
When using the tray, load the transparencies so that the notched end
of the transparency is in the lower-right corner of the tray. The
notched end should be next to the load level decal inside the tray, near
the paper backstop.
When using manual feed, insert the transparency film so that the
notched end goes in first toward the back of the printer.
Show where this is explained in the user manual.
For manual feeding, wait 5 seconds after the first sheet enters the printer before
manually inserting a second sheet.
Explain to the customer not to re-use media that has been processed through or
jammed inside the printer; damage to the printer may result. Also, do not print
double-sided prints; it will shorten the life of the imaging unit and can damage
paper path components such as the pick rollers paper feed rollers and sensors.
