Loading Paper

Paper Loading Procedure To achieve the print results you expect, it is important to select an appropriate input tray according to the size, type, and weight of the paper you want to use for printing. You also need to specify the paper size and type properly using the control panel or Web Image Monitor, and/or the paper size dial on the tray.

Follow the procedure below to load paper

  • Check the paper tray available for the size, type, and weight of the paper you want to use for printing. For details about available paper trays for each paper size and type, see page 28 “Paper Size Specifications” and page 32 “Paper Type Specifications”.
  • Change the paper size and type settings for the tray you selected. Use the control panel of the printer or Web Image Monitor to change the paper size and type. When loading paper into Trays 1 to 4, adjust the paper size dial on the trays. For details about changing paper settings using the control panel, see page 52 “Paper Settings”.
  • Load paper into the tray. For details about loading paper, see page 37 “Loading Paper into Paper Trays” or page 42
  • “Loading Paper into the Bypass Tray”. For details about loading envelopes, see page 46 “Loading Envelopes”.

Paper Type Specifications

The following table shows the paper types that can be loaded in each tray. See the “Paperweight” table for the actual paperweight indicated by numbers in the “Paperweight No.” column. Use both tables to specify the correct paper type for the paper you are using.

Recommended envelopes

For details about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer. The size of envelopes that you can load depends on the tray in which you load them. For details, see page 28 “Paper Size Specifications”.

Note

  • Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
  • The duplex function cannot be used with envelopes
  • Straighten any curls within 2 mm (0.1 inch) upward and 0 mm (0 inches) downward on the tray
    before loading.
  • To achieve better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print margin to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.
  • The output quality of envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to check the print quality.
  • When printing onto envelopes, the print speed is slower than usual.
  • Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
  • Check that the envelopes are not damp.
  • High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to become creased.
  • Depending on the environment, printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they are the recommended envelopes.
  • Certain types of envelopes might be output creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If you are printing a solid color on an envelope, lines may appear where the overlapped edges of the envelope make it thicker.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to common problems and it also explains how to correct unwanted print results.

When a Panel Tone Beeps

The following table describes various beep patterns that the printer produces to alert users about printer conditions and the meaning of each beep pattern.

Beep pattern Meaning Causes
Single short beep Panel/screen input accepted. A control panel key was pressed.
Two long beeps Printer has warmed up. When the power is turned on or the printer exits Sleep mode, the printer has fully warmed up and is ready for use.
Five long beeps repeated four times. Soft alert An error message appears on the control panel if there is no tray for the selected paper size or the tray is empty.
Five short beeps repeated five times. Strong alert The printer requires user attention because paper has jammed, the toner needs replenishing, or other problems have occurred.

Note

  • Beep alerts cannot be muted. If the printer’s covers are opened and closed repeatedly within a short space of time during an alert indicating a paper jam or insufficient toner, a beep alert might continue, even after normal status has resumed.
  • You can enable or disable beep alerts. For details, see “General Settings”, and Operating Instructions.

If USB Connection Fails

Problem Causes Solutions
The printer is not automatically recognized. The USB cable is not connected properly. Disconnect the USB cable, turn off the printer, and then turn it on again.

 

When the printer has fully booted up, reconnect the USB cable.

Windows has already configured the USB settings. Check whether or not the computer has identified the printer as an unsupported device. Open Windows’ Device Manager, and then, under [Universal Serial Bus controllers], remove any conflicting devices. A [!] or [?] icon is displayed for conflicting devices. Take care not to accidentally remove required devices. For details, see Windows Help.

When Printer Is Not Functioning Properly

Problem Solutions
Paper is not fed from the selected tray. When you are using a Windows operating system, the printer driver settings override those set using the control panel. Set the input tray you want using the printer driver.

 

For details, see the printer driver’s Help.

Prints do not stack properly. •   Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly. See page 34 “Paper Precautions”.

 

•   If printed sheets come out curled, use the standard tray extension. See page 8 “Guide to Components”.

It takes too long to turn on the printer. If the printer is turned off while accessing the hard disk (for example: during file deletion), the printer will require more time to power-up the next time it is turned on. To avoid this time delay, do not turn the printer off while it is in operation.
It takes too long to resume printing. •   The data is so large or complex that it takes time to process it. If Data In indicator is flashing, the data is being processed. Wait until it resumes.

 

•   The printer was in the Energy Saver mode or the Sleep mode. To recover from these modes, the printer must warm up, and this takes time until printing starts. For details, see page 18 “Saving Energy”.

It takes too long to complete the print job. •   Photographs and other data-intensive pages take a long time for the printer to process, so wait when printing such data. Changing the settings with printer driver may help to speed up printing. For details, see the printer driver’s Help.

 

•   The data is so large or complex that it takes time for the printer to process it. If Data In indicator is flashing, the data is being processed. Wait until it resumes.

Problem Solutions
Attached options are not detected in the printer properties. •   The computer and printer are not in bidirectional communication. You must configure attached options in the printer properties. For details, see the printer driver’s Help.

 

•   Once you perform an automatic update of device information using the PCL 6 or PostScript 3 printer driver’s properties, other printer drivers may not be able to establish a bidirectional communication and cannot perform the automatic update successfully. This only occurs with 32-bit Windows XP. In such cases, log off and log back on to Windows, and perform the automatic update again. If the problem cannot be resolved, contact your sales or service representative.

When printing combined prints or bound prints. Check that the paper size and direction set in the printer driver are the same as those set in the application.

 

If the settings are not the same, change the settings of the printer driver.

An empty tray is selected by Auto Tray Select, and the document is not printed due to out of paper error. If a paper tray is opened and closed while the printer is in Energy Saver mode, the printer will initialize the tray upon recovery, but the tray will not be selectable by Auto Tray Select.

 

To print from a paper tray that you opened and closed while the printer was in Energy Saver mode, you must manually specify the tray as the source paper tray before printing. When the printer recovers from Energy Saver mode and completes initialization, it will then print the document from the tray you have specified.
