Troubleshooting Phaser 750 Printers
Media hints
Use high-grade media. For best reliability and image-quality, always use Tektronix media. 
Refer to the printer’s User Guide for ordering information. Do not use media designed for 
inkjet printers; it may 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
Automatic Duplex. Use laser paper that is between 75 - 90 g/m
2
 (20 - 24 lb. bond) for 
opacity and feed reliability. 
Manual Duplex with the Multi-Purpose tray. Depending on the stiffness and 
smoothness of your laser paper, the printer handles paper up to 105 g/m
2
 (28 lb. 
bond). Buy a small amount first and try it.
Manual Duplex with specialty media. For two-sided printing on specialty media 
(card stock and Tektronix glossy coated paper), only use the Multi-Purpose Tray. This 
is intended for occasional use only.
Duplex printing can reduce the life of the printer’s components and may require more 
frequent printer cleaning.
If your printer has an Automatic Duplex/Lower Tray Assembly 
installed
Always place the Duplex Unit into the printer’s upper slot.
Insert the 
TRANSPARENCY
 tray in the printer’s middle tray slot.
Place the most frequently used paper in the 
PAPER
 tray and insert the tray in the 
printer’s lower tray slot.
Specialty media
Always load specialty media (envelopes, Tektronix Laser Labels, Tektronix Glossy 
Coated Paper, Tektronix Card Stock, and heavy paper) in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
Always set the Media Thickness Switch according to the media being used. Refer to 
the Phaser 750 User Guide for instructions.
When printing labels or envelopes, make sure that you use only the recommended 
types.
Printing on specialty media can reduce the life of the printer’s components and may 
require more frequent printer cleaning.
