Choosing Paper With this printer you can print on many sizes and types of paper. You can also use other types of media, such as envelopes, labels and overhead projector transparencies. The printer feeds most types of media automatically from the paper cassette, while some media require hand-feeding for greater control.
Choosing Paper Standard office paper - You can use the printer’s paper cassette to automatically feed most types of 16 to 24 lb. (60 g/m 2 to 90 g/m2) paper. This typically includes such paper as copier paper, memo sheets, cotton bond, and letterhead.
Choosing Paper Envelopes - You can load envelopes as shown below. Load envelopes along the length of an envelope. The printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. If the printing is too light, turn the print density knob counterclockwise.
Choosing a Paper Size The printer can feed several sizes of paper automatically. To select a paper size, simply change the paper size (P-SIZE) setting with SelecType. You may also need to adjust the paper guides on the paper cassette to match the size of the paper you want to use.
Choosing Printing Methods The EPL-7000 offers you several printing methods. Your choices depend mainly on the type of paper or other print media you want to use. l Paper delivery method — Choose face-up output (with the optional face-up tray) or face-down output.
Choosing Printing Methods Even with the optional face-up tray installed, you can still choose either face-up or face-down delivery. To choose face-down delivery when the face-up output tray is installed, move the paper path lever to FACE DOWN, as shown below.
Choosing Printing Methods Material Regular Paper (60 – 90 g/m 2 ) (16-24 lb.) Heavy Paper (90 - 157 g/m*) (24 - 42 lb.) Envelopes Transparencies Labels Feed Delivery Auto or manual Face-up or face-d.
Loading Paper in the Cassette The standard paper cassette holds up to 250 sheets of paper for automatic printing. To load paper in the cassette, follow these steps: 1. Push the paper set lever forward to the manual position, as shown below. 2. Slide the paper guides all the way apart, as shown below.
Loading Paper in the Cassette 3. Take a stack of paper and tap the edges of the paper on a flat surface to even up the stack as shown. 4. Insert the stack of paper into the paper cassette, making sure that the top of the stack is below the maximum height mark inside the paper cassette.
Loading Paper in the Cassette Note: To print on long paper, such as legal-size paper (8 1/2 X 14 inches), open the paper support as shown below. 5. Slide the paper guides together until they both rest lightly against the stack of paper.
Loading Paper in the Cassette 6. Pull the paper set lever to the automatic position until it clicks into place. Note: The paper set lever must be set back to the automatic position before paper can be fed automatically from the paper cassette.
Loading Paper Manually If you want to print labels, envelopes, transparencies, heavy paper (over 24 lb. or 90 g/m 2 ), or other special papers, you can load the paper one sheet at a time in the paper cassette or you can hand- feed it using the manual feed slot.
Loading Paper Manually 4. Adjust the manual feed paper guides to match the size of paper you are using as shown below. 5. Insert a sheet of paper into the manual feed slot as far as it will go. (The control panel displays the READY message when you insert the paper correctly.
Loading Paper Manually Note: Insert the paper with the side you want to print on face-up. For example, to print on the back of a printed page, load the page with the blank side up. 6. For best results when printing labels, envelopes, transparencies and heavy paper, install the optional face-up output tray.
Chapter 5 Application Software Using Your Printer with Application Software.. ................. 5-2 Using printer selection menus.. ......................................... 5- 2 Printing a test file ...................................................
Using Your Printer with Application Software Once you’ve set up the printer and are more familiar with its operation, you can start using it with your application programs. Most application programs ask you to specify the type of printer you are using so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s features.
Using Your Printer with Application Software HP LaserJet series IIP emulation mode If you have not changed the factory setting, your printer is in HP emulation mode. Simply use your application program’s setup menu to choose the first printer available from the list of printers below.
Using Your Printer with Application Software Printing a test file After you install the software, create a test file using the fonts, symbols, and formats that you use most often.
Controlling the Printer Most application programs contain a number of built-in functions that you can use to control the printer. When you use these features, special codes are inserted into your document by the program. When you print a document, these special codes are converted by the application program into commands understood by the printer.
Controlling the Prinker Unlike word processors, spreadsheet programs usually don’t let you change printer commands within a spreadsheet. Instead, one style of printing is used for the whole spreadsheet. You can take advantage of your printer’s features to control spreadsheet printing.
Controlling the Printer Integrated packages When you install an integrated package, you should select the available printer recommended for the emulation mode you are using from the printer selection menu.
