Media hints and tips
 
Use high-grade media.  For best reliability and image-quality, 
always use Tektronix media.  Tektronix printers and Tektronix supplies 
are Made For Each Other
 
®
 
.  Refer to “Phaser 560 Printer Supplies” on 
page 9-2 for ordering information.  Do not use media designed for inkjet 
printers; they will damage the fuser.  
 
Media handling
 
 
Make sure that the media is dust-free.  Dust and dirt can result in 
poor print quality.
 
 
Handle media with both hands at the edges to avoid creases and 
fingerprints.
 
 
Store media in the original, dust-free package in the same 
environmental conditions as the printer. 
 
Double-sided printing
 
 
Use laser bond paper (at least 100 g/m
 
2
 
, 28 lb. bond for opacity and 
feed reliability) for duplexing; two-sided printing on specialty 
media can shorten component life.
 
 
When printing side two of a duplex print in the Multi-Purpose 
Feeder, 
 
always
 
 select 
 
Paper 2nd Side
 
 (in the driver or the front 
panel) for the media type.
 
 
For best results, do not use heavy toner coverage on Side 1.
 
 
Duplex printing can reduce the life of the printer’s components and 
may require more frequent cleaning.
 
If your printer has a Lower Tray Assembly installed
 
 
Place the most frequently-used paper in the 
 
PAPER
 
 tray and insert 
the tray in the printer’s 
 
Upper
 
 tray slot.
 
 
Insert the 
 
TRANSPARENCY
 
 tray in the printer’s 
 
Middle
 
 tray slot.
 
Specialty media
 
 
Always set the media thickness switch according to the media 
being used.
 
 
When printing labels or envelopes, make sure that you use only the 
recommended types; refer to page 4-50 and page 4-48 for details.
 
 
Printing on specialty media can reduce the life of the printer’s 
components and may require more frequent cleaning.
