Simultaneous Printing/Faxing
Your machine can print data from your computer while sending or
receiving a fax, or while scanning information into the computer.
However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it
pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax
receiving is complete. Fax sending continues during PC printing. (See
Acceptable Paper, page 2-5.)
Choosing Acceptable Paper
We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of
paper) on the machine before purchasing large quantities.
■ Avoid feeding labels with carrier sheets exposed, or your machine will be
damaged.
■ Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
■ Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.
For optimum printing, use a recommend type of paper, especially plain
paper and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications,
consult your nearest authorized sales representative or the place where
you purchased your machine.
■ Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.
■ For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.
■ If you are using special paper, and the paper has problems feeding from
the paper cassette, try again using the manual feed slot.
■ You can use recycled paper in this machine.
