USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.11 4 5Slide the paper width guide and adjust it against the stack of print material without bending. Now, the display on the front panel prompts you to confirm the paper size in the Multi-Purpose Tray. NOTE: Your printer cannot automatically detect the size of paper loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray. Configuring the Multi-Purpose Tray with the correct paper size allows you to select paper by size rather than paper source when you print from your software application. You do not have to check which paper is loaded in the Multi-purpose Tray before printing. 6Press the scroll button ( or ) until the size of paper you loaded appears on the bottom line of the display. 7Press the Enter button ( ). Now, you are ready to print. 8When you print a document, configure the paper source and type in the software application. For information about setting on the control panel, see page 3.5. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.12 9After printing, push the extender back to its place and close the Multi-Purpose Tray. Using the Manual Feed Mode If you select Manual Feed in the Source option when changing print settings, you can manually load a sheet of print material in the Multi-Purpose Tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed. This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the Multi-Purpose Tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the Tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the On-Line/Continue button ( ) on the control panel to print each following page. 1Load a sheet of print material on the centre of the Multi-Purpose Tray with the print side up. 2Slide the paper width guide and adjust it against the material without bending. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.13 4 3When you print a document, you must select Manual Feed for Source from the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. 4Print a document. The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and press the On-Line/Continue button ( ). 5Press the On-Line/Continue button ( ). The printer picks up the paper and prints. After one page is printed, the message appears again. 6Insert the next sheet into the Multi-Purpose Tray and press the On-Line/Continue button ( ). Repeat this step for every page to be printed. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.14 Printing on Envelopes 1Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and slide the extender to its full-length position. 2Open the rear output tray and pull the extender. Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before loading envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not feed stamped envelopes. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.15 4 3Flex or fan the edge of the envelope stack to separate the pages before loading. 4Load the envelopes onto the Multi-Purpose Tray with the flap side down. The stamp area is on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the tray first. 5Adjust the guide to the edge of the envelope stack. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.16 6When you print on envelopes, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.7. For details about setting on the control panel, see page 3.5. 7After printing, close the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.17 4 Printing on Labels 1Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. 2Load labels with the print side up. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels. Guidelines • Only use labels recommended for laser printers. • Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components. • Do not feed a sheet of label through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the printer. • Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.18 3When you print on labels, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.7. For details about setting on the control panel, see page 3.5. 4After printing, close the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. NOTE: To prevent labels from sticking, do not let the printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.19 4 Printing on Transparencies 1Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. 2Load transparencies with the print side up, and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the transparencies. Guidelines • Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. • Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges. • Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems. • Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side. USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.20 3When you print on transparencies, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.7. For details about setting on the control panel, see page 3.5. 4After printing, close the Multi-Purpose Tray and the rear output tray. NOTES: • If you print on thin transparencies to the rear output tray, they can be curled. In this case, use the top output tray. If the problem persists, check if your transparencies meets the printer’s specifications. • To prevent transparencies from sticking, do not let the printed sheets stack up as t…

SOLVING PROBLEMS 7.24 Troubleshooting PS Errors The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used. NOTE: To receive a printed or screen displayed message when PS errors occur, open the Print Options window and click the desired selection next to the PostScript errors section. ProblemPossible CauseSolution PostScript file can not be printed. The PostScript option may not be installed. • Print a configuration page and verify that the PS version is available for printing. • If PostScript is not available, install the PostScript option. See “Installing Memory and PostScript DIMMs” on page F.3. “This job contains binary data...” message appears. The pure binary data option is not supported by the PostScript driver. Open the Properties of the PostScript driver, click on PostScript, and click on Advanced. The pure binary data option is not supported. Choose another. A PS error page prints. Print job may not be PS. Make sure that the print job is a PS job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PS header file to be sent to the printer. The optional Tray2 is not selected in the driver. The printer driver has not been configured to recognise the optional Tray2. Open the PostScript driver properties and set the Tray2 item of the Device option to Installed. SOLVING PROBLEMS 7.25 7 Common Linux Problems ProblemPossible Cause and Solution I can’t change settings in the configuration tool. You need to have administrator privileges to be able to affect global settings. I am using the KDE desktop but the configuration tool and LLPR won’t start. Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed. These usually come with most Linux distributions, but you may have to install them manually. Refer to your distribution’s installation manual for more details about installing additional packages. I just installed this package but can’t find entries in the KDE/Gnome menus. Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop environments may require that you restart your session for the changes to take effect. I get a “Some options are not selected” error message while editing the printer settings. Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that some settings for two options can’t be selected at the same time. When you change a setting and the Printer Package detects such a conflict, the conflicting option is changed to a “No Choice” value, and you have to choose an option that does not conflict before being able to submit the changes. I can’t make a printer the system default. In some conditions, it may not be possible to change the default queue. This happens with some variants of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that use the “printconf” database of queues. When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is automatically refreshed from the database of printers managed by the system (usually through the “printtool” command), and the queues in /etc/printcap.local are appended to the resulting file. Since the default queue in LPRng is defined as the first queue in /etc/printcap, therefore it is not possible for the Linux Printer Package to change the default when some queues have otherwise been defined using printtool. LPD systems identify the default queue as the one named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this name, and if it doesn’t have any alias, then you won’t be able to change the default. To work around this, you can either delete the queue or rename it by manually editing the /etc/printcap file. The N-up setting does not work correctly for some of my documents. The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of the PostScript data that is being sent to the printing system. However, such post-processing can only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe Document Structing Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up and other features relying on post-processing if the document being printed isn’t compliant. SOLVING PROBLEMS 7.26 I am using BSD lpr (Slackware, Debian, older distributions) and some options chosen in LLPR don’t seem to take effect. Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the length of the option string that can be passed to the printing system. As such, if you selected a number of different options, the length of the options may be exceeded and some of your choices won’t be passed to the programmes responsible for implementing them. Try to select less options that deviate from the defaults, to save on memory usage. I am trying to print a document in Landscape mode, but it prints rotated and cropped. Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape orientation option in their printing options will generate correct PostScript code that should be printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure that you leave the LLPR option to its default Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the page that would result in a cropped output. Some pages come out all white (nothing is printed), and I am using CUPS. If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10 and before) have a bug preventing them from being processed correctly. When going through LLPR to print, the Printer Package will work around this issue by converting the data to regular PostScript. However, if your application bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not print correctly. I can’t print to a SMB (Windows) printer. To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such as printers shared on a Windows machine), you need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA package that enables that feature. The “smbclient” command should be available and usable on your system. My application seems to be frozen while LLPR is running. Most Unix applications will expect a command like the regular “lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user input before passing the job on to the pri…
