Print Media Guidelines Print media refers to paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the print media in the standard 250-sheet tray.
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both the print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original packaging until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
When choosing any print media, you should consider the weight, fiber content, and color. Unacceptable Paper The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer: • Chemically treated paper used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless paper, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.
Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam. D E L L C O N F I D E N T I A L – P R E L I M I N A RY 9 / 1 3 / 1 0 - F O R P R O O F O N LY...
• Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper. • Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.

• Set the print media source to the single sheet feeder or the standard 250-sheet tray. Set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct size of envelope from the printer driver. • Use envelopes made from 75 g/m (28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 % or less.
Have nicked edges or bent corners – Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers. When selecting labels: • Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) and pressure of 25 pounds per...
CAUTION: Otherwise the printer occur in a jam and contaminate your printer and your cartridges with adhesive. As a result, could void your printer and cartridge warranties. Storing Print Media For proper print media storage, the following guidelines will help to avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality.
admin\Desktop\0630_UG??\Mioga_SFP_UG_FM\Mioga_SFP_UG_FM\section14.fm • If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl. • Do not place anything on top of the print media packages. Identifying Print Media and Specifications The following tables show print media information.
For Plain and Label paper, you can set the paper density by selecting the Paper Density (Light or Normal) under Printer Maintenance from the operator panel, Tool Box, or Dell Configuration Web Tool. Once you set the Paper Density settings, the printer uses the settings for Plain and Label paper.

The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read. The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 5/PCL 6. See "Resident Fonts" for a listing of all resident fonts.
FILE LOCATION: C:\Users\fxstdpc- admin\Desktop\0630_UG??\Mioga_SFP_UG_FM\Mioga_SFP_UG_FM\section21.fm Pitch and Point Size The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on whether the font is fixed space or proportional. In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed space fonts.
14 point: Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts. Bitmapped fonts are stored in print memory as predefined patterns of bits that represent a typeface at a specific size, style, and resolution. The following illustration shows an example of a character from a bitmapped font.
Page 352
Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in print memory.
Different fonts are available in PCL 5/PCL 6. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and TimesNew, are available for all printer languages. The following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See "Printing Font Sample List" for instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software program or from the operator panel.
(or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 36 symbol sets for the resident PCL 5/PCL 6 fonts. Symbol Sets for PCL 5/PCL 6 Not all font names support all of the symbol sets listed.
