Page 58: Size
Size The Phaser 300X prints on paper that ranges in size from 100 x 150 mm to 305 x 457 mm (4 x 6 in. to 12 x 18 in.). The following table shows which paper sizes ﬁt into the paper trays. Use manual feed when you want to print on paper that is smaller than A-size or A4-size.

Page 60: Grain
Some paper manufacturers identify the grain on the paper’s package label. When you use A-size or A4-size paper, the paper should be short-grained. You can purchase short-grained A-size and A4-size paper from Tektronix.

With 10 Mbytes of memory, the image area for Tabloid Extra (305 x 457 mm or 12 x 18 in.) media is 264 x 413 mm or 10.6 x 16.5 in. When you add 4 Mbytes of memory to the printer, the image area for Tabloid Extra media increases to 297 x 445 mm or 11.7 x 17.5 in.
Page 63: Image Orientation
Landscape Note 3-30 Phaser 300X Color Printer If you are manually feeding media, make sure that the media tray is installed and loaded with the same size paper, in the same orientation, that you are using for manual feed. To avoid clipping, make sure that both paper guides in the media tray (length and width) are touching the edge of the media.
Page 64: Media Handling
Printing Media handling Clean the paper tray and the tray’s cover. Dust and dirt in the paper tray can be transferred to the paper, resulting in poor print quality. Handle transparencies by the edges and with both hands to avoid ﬁngerprints and creases, which can result in poor print quality.
