Printing methods

Printing on plain paper, bond paper and transparencies

Printing on plain paper, bond paper or transparencies from Tray 1, 2 or 3

Note

Transparencies are only for Tray1.

(For the recommended paper to use, see About paper.)

Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.

While pressing the blue paper-guide release lever (1), slide the paper guides to fit the paper size. Make sure that the guides are firmly in the slots.

Note

For Legal or Folio size paper, press the release button (1) in the bottom of the paper tray and then pull out the back of the paper tray.

Put paper in the tray, and make sure that the paper is below the maximum paper mark (

). The side to be printed on must be face down.

IMPORTANT

Make sure the paper guides touch the sides of the paper so it will feed properly.

Put the paper tray firmly back in the printer. Make sure that it is completely inserted into the printer.

Lift up the support flap to prevent paper from sliding off the face-down output tray, or remove each page as soon as it comes out of the printer.

Choose the following from the printer driver:

Paper Size......(1)

Media Type......(2)

Paper Source......(3)

and any other settings you may want to make. (See Driver and Software.)

•	Windows^® printer driver

•	BR-Script printer driver for Windows^®

Note

To use the BR-Script printer driver for Windows^® you must install the driver using the Custom Install from the CD-ROM.

•	Macintosh printer driver

Send the print data to the printer.

IMPORTANT

When printing on transparencies, remove each transparency at once after printing. Stacking the printed transparencies may cause a paper jam or the transparency to curl.
