Mixed Media covers from Tray 5 (Bypass) with duplex jobs
A duplex job that uses Mixed Media settings to specify a cover printed from Tray 5 (Bypass)
does not print correctly if the cover Media Type set is set to Use Machine Settings and the
copier setting for Tray 5 (Bypass) media type is Heavyweight 2. Because of the Heavyweight 2
media, the job is forced to print in reverse order and face up. However, duplex pages cannot
be printed on Heavyweight 2 media, so Plain media is used instead. Plain media does not
force face up printing, so the job prints with the default Face Down setting. The result is that
the job prints in reverse order face down, and the output pages are out of order.
If Tray 5 Media Protection is enabled and the copier setting for Tray 5 (Bypass) is not
Heavyweight 2, Tray 5 Media Protection forces the cover pages to print as if for Heavyweight
2. Since Heavyweight 2 media cannot be printed duplex or stapled, the covers will print
single-sided and not stapled, regardless of the job settings.
To avoid these types of interactions, select a specific Media Type for the job. Do not leave the
setting as Use Machine Settings.
Media Type selections grayed (Windows)
In the Windows printer drivers, a Media Type setting appears dimmed if there are other print
options selected that would be in conflict with that Media Type setting. You can still select a
dimmed setting, and you can have the printer driver resolve the conflict automatically.
Media Type and Tray 6 (Oversized)
Printing a job with Media Type set to Tab Stock 1 or Tab Stock 2 is not supported when
printing from Tray 6 (Oversized). Use Tray 5 (Bypass) to print with Tab Stock 1 or Tab Stock
2. For printing thick media from Tray 6 (Oversized), set the Media Type to Heavyweight 1,
Heavyweight 2, Coated 1, or Coated 2.
Face-Down Printing and custom page size
If you print to a custom page size and set the Face-Down Printing option to Face Down, the
page dimensions must be within the following ranges, otherwise the job is printed Face Up:
• Width: 139.7 to 330 mm
• Length: 182 to 488 mm
Paper size
When you send a job from an application that allows you to specify paper size in the
Print dialog box (such as Microsoft Word), select the same paper size in both the application’s
Page Setup dialog box and the printer’s Properties dialog box.
Before printing your job, verify that the paper size selection in Document Setup and
Page Setup are the same. This will resolve problems with the printed output, such as
image clipping and unintentional scaling.
