To print on variable sized media (including oversized), keep the
following in mind:
•
Use the fold down tray and, if necessary, pull the extenders
out to support larger media.
•
Depending on your chosen application, the paper size
selection may be in the Page Setup or the Print Dialog box.
•
When you setup document dimensions in your application,
remember the imageable area is smaller. For example,
11.81" x 25.00" media has an imageable area of 11.73" x
11.73" x 24.93".
•
Oversize printing allows you to print 11" x 17"/A3 (279
mm x 432 mm) full size bleeds.
•
Make sure manual feed is selected through your
application. If you make different selections in the front
panel and an application, the application overrides the
front panel selection.
•
Make sure the media falls within the guidelines for the fold
down tray listed in "Selecting Media" earlier in this
chapter.
•
Oversized 11.25" x 18.50", 11.81" x 19", or 11.81" x 25"
paper as well as the extra wide 12.00" x 19.00" and 12.00"
x 25.00" paper has to be cut to size or you can order it
from XANTÉ. We supply Hammermill 24/60 lb Accent
White. Other brands are available from paper supply
houses. The 60 lb offset paper is equivalent to 24 lb paper.
•
Only use quality media which can handle a temperature of
374˚ F (190˚ C). If the media is preprinted, make sure the
preprinting inks can withstand laser temperatures.
•
Do not use coated or synthetically reinforced media.
•
If you see a virtual memory error when printing larger
sized jobs, complex graphics, or extremely large files, try
adding memory to your system, printing at a lower
resolution, or using only printer resident fonts or those on
an attached SCSI hard disk.
