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.
