Introduction

This chapter covers frequent tasks. These include handling media,

printing on various media, and printing double-sided copies,

adjusting density, handling and replacing toner, using Windows,

using a SCSI disk, and removing downloaded fonts.

Media Handling

Output quality depends on many factors such as the printer’s

capabilities and application features. It also depends heavily on the

type of media (paper, labels, and transparencies) selected and how

you handle and store the media.

Selecting Media

Use the guidelines in this section to choose the best media for your

Accel-a-Writer 8200 printing.

Note: Regardless of the media you select, we recommend testing

samples before buying in quantity. We also suggest that

when you use more expensive stock such as transparencies

or labels, run a sample on plain paper to check your layout

before running multiple copies on the more expensive stock.

Media Guidelines

Media Size Weight Feed Capacity*

Source

Plain or Letter (8.5" x 11")

Laser Paper Legal (8.5" x 14") 64 to 90 g/m2* Paper approx. 250

Ledger (11" x 17") (17 to 24 lb) Cassette approx. 500**

A4 (210 mm x 297 mm)

A3 (297 mm x 420 mm)

Plain or 3.90" x 5.80" 64 to 90 g/m2* Fold approx. 100

Laser Paper (99 mm x 147 mm) (17 to 24 lb) Down

up to

11.81" x 25.00"***

(300 mm x 635 mm)

Transparency 64 to 128 g/m2 approx. 50

(17 to 34 lb)

Labels approx. 40

* Plain and laser paper capacity is based on 20 lb (80 g/m2) stock.

** 500 sheet capacity requires the optional paper feeder, cassette

supporter, and paper cassette for letter/A4 size only.

*** With the extra wide print option installed, you can print on up to 12.08"

x 25.00" (307 mm x 635 mm) sized media.

Economical plain paper works well for most general purpose

printing, such as in-house reports and everyday correspondence.

Laser paper, which is slightly more expensive, helps ensure more

consistent coverage and should be used when higher quality is

desired.

Transparencies and Labels should always be laser quality, capable of

handling 374˚ F (190˚ C) temperatures.

___________________________________ Routine Operations 6-5

Caution: If you use preprinted sheets such as letterhead, make

sure the ink on those sheets can withstand the 374˚ F

(190˚ C) temperatures. If not, the ink could cause

permanent damage to the printer’s fusing rollers. Also,

never use a partial sheet of labels or a sheet where the

glue has soaked through the labels.

Avoid media which

• Is too thick, thin, rough or extremely textured (such as

course or embossed stock)

• Has been or is wet, damp, curled, torn, creased, or

otherwise damaged

• Has metal clasps, strings, staples, cutouts, or perforations

• Is coated or synthetically reinforced stock

• Has exposed adhesives (such as partially used label stock)

When you select media, keep in mind that the physical page size is

different from the imageable area. The imageable area is the area

which can be printed on by your printer.

You should set the page margins in your applications to fit within the

imageable areas. If you try to print outside the imageable area, many

applications issue a warning or error message, giving you an

opportunity to make changes; some applications clip the image and

still print the page.

6-6 Routine Operationsbb __________________________________

The following chart gives the imageable areas for many standard

media sizes which can be used on your Accel-a-writer 8200 printer.

wider page sizes, 12.00" x 19.00" (305 mm x 483 mm) and 12.00" x

25.00" (305 mm x 635 mm). The imageable areas for these larger sizes

are 11.97" x 18.93" (304 mm x 481 mm) and 11.97" x 24.93" (304 mm

x 633 mm) respectively.

Regardless of the media you select, we recommend that you test

samples before buying in quantity. For more information on the

different media, see “Printing Transparencies,” “Printing

Envelopes,” and “Printing Labels” later in this chapter.

Storing Media

How you store media can have a major impact on the final print

quality and your printer’s operation. Media stored incorrectly

drastically increases the chance of printer jams and reduced print

quality.

To avoid problems, always store media

• On a flat surface

• With the media flat (not on its side or end)

• In stacks only if necessary and if the stacks are not too

heavy or high

• In a dark, dry, cool area

• In its own wrapper

Feeding Media to the Printer

A major factor in printing is choosing the right method of feeding

your media to the printer. For most standard size, plain and laser

paper printing, feeding from the standard paper cassette is easiest.

For limited quantity, for odd-sized plain or laser paper printing, for

oversized paper, or for transparencies, envelopes, and labels, you

should use the fold down paper tray.

Note: If you want to use oversized printing on 11.25" x 18.50",

11.81" x 19.00", or 11.81" x 25.00" paper, the paper has to be

cut to size or you can order it from XANTÉ. This is also true if

the extra wide print option is installed for 12.00" x 19.00" and

12.00" x 25.00" paper. We supply Hammermill 24/60 lb Accent

White. Other brands are available from paper supply houses.

Also, 60 lb offset paper is equivalent to 24 lb paper.

6-8 Routine Operationsbb __________________________________

When you print using the letter/A4 or B5 size cassette with plain and

laser paper, the media loads in landscape orientation with the long

edge first. For larger sized cassettes, load the media in portrait

orientation with the short edge first.

When you use the fold down tray, letter, B5, and A4 media loads

long edge first in landscape orientation. Legal, ledger, and A3 media

loads short edge first in portrait orientation.

Other variable custom sized media that measures between 3.90" x

5.80" (99 mm x 147 mm) and 11.81" x 25.00" (300 mm x 635 mm)

and that is not square always should be loaded short edge first; this

also holds true if you have the extra wide print option for printing on

12.00" x 19.00" (305 mm x 485 mm) and 12.00" x 25.00" (305 mm x

635 mm) media.

Note: The Manual Feed menu allows you to select letter, legal, A4,

B5, 11 x 17, A3, COM-10, MONARCH, DL and C5 sizes

through the front panel. To print from the fold down tray on a

media size not listed in this menu, select the size through a

software application. (Application selections override front

panel selections.) Remember that if the extra wide print option

is installed, 11.81" x 19.00" and 11.81 x 25.00" convert to the

extra wide sizes; to get the standard smaller sizes, you would

enter their page sizes through an application.

If you use a larger cassette than the Letter/A4 tray, install the cassette

cover on the back of the printer by gently squeezing in on each side

of the cover and snapping it into place as shown in figure 6.1. This

cover prevents dust and debris from getting into the paper tray and

building up in the printer where it can reduce print quality.

Using a Paper Cassette

This section covers loading a cassette with laser quality or 20 lb

photocopier paper. See “Printing Transparencies,” “Printing

Envelopes,” and “Printing Labels” later in this chapter, for specific

guidelines when using those forms of media.

To refill and use the paper cassette for printing

1. Pull the paper cassette straight out of the printer.

2. Prepare up to 250 sheets (approximately 1" [25 mm] thick or

less) of laser quality or 20 lb photocopier paper. To do this:

a. Make sure the paper meets all requirements listed in

“Selecting Media” earlier in this chapter.

b. Determine the printing side of the paper. The wrappers

on most paper packages have arrows pointing in the

direction of the printing side.

c. Fan the paper to prevent it from sticking together, and

then align the edges to form a smooth stack.

6-10 Routine Operationsbb __________________________________

d. Determine the leading edge of the paper. This varies

depending on the printing mode and paper size. See the

previous section, “Feeding Media to the Printer,” to

determine the leading edge.

3. Slide the paper printing side up, making sure the trailing edge

fits under the two plastic clips at the rear of the cassette and the

leading edge fits under the two metal clips at the front corners

of the cassette (fig. 6.2).

Caution: Make sure the paper stack does not exceed the

upper paper limit marked on the cassette. This can

cause the paper to jam.
