Overview

To ensure the best print quality and the most reliable printer operation,
follow these simple guidelines:

■

Always use high-quality paper and

only

Tektronix-brand

Transparencies, Glossy Coated paper, and Fabric Transfer media.

■

To maintain print quality, use the troubleshooting information in this
book and the

Quick Reference Guide

, as well as the Consumables Page

and Service Print 1 in the front panel’s

Help

Pages

menu.

■

Double-sided printing and specialty media will require more
frequent cleaning of the rollers and will reduce the average life of the
consumables.

Caution

Keep the Imaging Unit’s light exposure to a minimum — less than
90 seconds of artificial light and

no exposure to sunlight

— or you

may damage the unit:

■

When installing a new Imaging Unit, keep the protective plastic

sheet on until immediately before inserting the unit.

■

If, when installing the Imaging Unit, you also need to install other

components, install the Imaging Unit last to minimize its light
exposure.

■

When changing a toner cartridge or clearing a media jam, make

sure that you close the printer’s right side door quickly to avoid
any light exposure to the Imaging Unit.

■

Do not leave the printer’s front door open for extended periods of

time (for example, several hours).

■

Do not touch the underside or the right side of the Imaging Unit;

fingerprints may appear on your output.

■

Use only laser paper for double-sided printing; other media may

damage printer components.
