  • Page 11: Cassette Trays

    If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings.

  • Page 12: Face Down Stacker

    FACE DOWN STACKER The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

  • Page 13: Loading Paper

    LOADING PAPER CASSETTE TRAYS Remove the paper tray from the printer. Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the middle (2) to ensure that all sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3).
  • Page 14 Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of the printer, as shown. Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the size of paper being used. To prevent paper jams: > Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper.
  • Page 15 For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets, depending on paper weight. For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is open and the paper support (4) is extended.

    > Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to the left and short edge into the printer. Do not select duplex printing on envelopes. > Do not exceed the paper capacity of about 50 sheets or 10 envelopes.

  • Page 17: Printer Settings In Windows

    Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options. The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the operator panel menus.

  • Page 18: Setup Tab

    You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you have the optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multi purpose feeder.

  • Page 19: Job Options Tab

    The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. > The highest quality setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi.
