Clearing Jams

By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If paper jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in this chapter. If paper jams occur frequently, make sure you see Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams on page 155. To resolve the paper jam attendance messages, you must clear all paper from the paper path.
Press Go to resume printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto; however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.

Possible Paper Jam Areas

The Paper Jam Areas illustration on page 210 shows the path the paper travels through the printer and the options. The path varies depending on the paper source and paper exit selection (output bin). The jam areas are shown, too.

Locate and gently push the feed roller release lever back to release the pressure on the paper.
Pull the paper up and toward you.
Reinstall the print cartridge. (See page 15 for instructions on reinstalling the print cartridge.) Close the upper front door.
Note: If there is resistance to the paper, and it does not move immediately when you pull, stop pulling. You need to access the paper from the rear door. See 202 Paper Jam Open Rear Door for more information.
202 Paper Jam - Open Rear Door
Jams in the following areas result in a 202 attendance message. Jams in these areas require opening the printer rear door:
the paper jams before reaching the standard output bin the paper jams in the rear of the printer when a page enters the duplex option to print on the second side the paper jams after it starts into the standard output bin, but before it has exited completely into the bin
Note: To resolve the paper jam attendance messages, you must clear all paper from the paper path.
Before Reaching the Standard Output Bin or Entering to the Duplex Option
The paper jammed before it exited into the standard output bin or when it entered the duplex option to print on the second side of a page.
Locate the rear door handle and pull it toward you.
The rear door opens and drops back toward you.
Determine how to remove the paper based on what part of the paper is visible.
If the middle of the sheet of paper is visible, but not the ends of the paper, grasp the paper on both sides and gently pull the paper straight out toward you.
Note: If paper is still in the fuser area, open the upper front door to release the fuser rollers and free the paper for removal.
If an end of the paper is visible, pull the paper straight out toward you.
If there is resistance to the paper and it does not move immediately when you pull, stop pulling. Remove the print cartridge, then return to the back of the printer at the rear door area. Pull the paper out.

Close the rear door.

Exiting to the Standard Output Bin
Pull the paper straight out. If there is resistance to the paper, and it does not give immediately when you pull, stop pulling. Continue with the next step.
Open the upper front door to release the fuser rollers.
Pull the paper straight out.
Note: Usually with a jam located in this area, there is another jam behind the rear door of the printer. See Before Reaching the Standard Output Bin or Entering to the Duplex Option on page 214 for instructions on how to remove this type of jam.
230 Paper Jam - Check Duplex
Jams in the following three areas result in a 230 attendance message:
paper path area in front of the duplex option inside the duplex option back of the duplex option (the page may be entering the duplex option, inside the duplex option, or exiting the duplex option to go back to the printer to exit after printing)

Ordering a Charge Roll Kit

WARNING:
When you install or remove the printer, the standard dual 500-sheet drawer for the Optra S 2455, and options, view each piece as a separate part. Always install or remove a part by itself. For example, do not pick up the printer with the duplex option attached and try to move both at once.

Notice the following parts on the duplex option: the tab, the round hole, and the four square holes. These are exactly like the same parts on an optional or standard paper drawer. The printer has matching holes on its bottom surface that align with these parts.
Tab Round Hole Square Hole
Lift the printer by the hand grips or ask someone to help you lift it and lower it onto the duplex option. Be sure the edges of the printer and the duplex option are aligned so that all the parts fit.
Reconnect any disconnected cables. Plug in the printer power cord. Turn the printer power On (|). Note: Verify that the duplex option is installed properly. See Verifying the Installation of Options on page 325.

Changing Duplex Settings

You can select duplex functions from the operator panel or from your software application if it supports duplex printing. If the software setting differs from the operator panel setting, the software setting overrides the panel setting. For example, if you select duplex printing from the operator panel, but the software specifies single-sided printing, the printer prints single-sided pages. When the Duplex Option is installed, the PAPER MENU includes the menu items Duplex and Duplex Bind. You can print duplex pages from any paper source except the envelope feeder. The following table lists settings for the duplex option. A brief description of each menu item follows.

Duplex Duplex Bind

Values
On, Off Long Edge, Short Edge

Default Setting

Off (Single-sided printing) Long Edge
Set the Duplex menu item On to print on both sides of the paper. Set Duplex Off to print on one side only.
Duplex binding refers to the way pages are attached to form a book. Selecting the type of duplex binding determines how the printing on the back (even-numbered) pages of a print job is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered) pages.
Long edge binding means all pages are attached along the long edge of the page (the left edge of a portrait-printed page and the top edge of a landscape-printed page). For example, the pages of this book were printed using long-edge binding. The following illustration shows long-edge binding for portrait and landscape pages.

To print a menu settings page: Make sure the printer power is On (|) and the Ready status message appears on the display. Press Menu> or <Menu to enter the menus. Continue to press and release Menu> until you see TESTS MENU. Press Select to show the list of menu items for the TESTS MENU. Continue to press and release Menu> until you see Print Menus on the second line.
Press Select to select Print Menus. The message Printing Menu Settings is displayed. The menu settings page prints.
Look for the option name on the printed page. If the option does not appear on the page, it is not installed securely in place or aligned properly. Remove the option and install it again. Print the menu settings page again.

Understanding Fonts

Appendix
This appendix contains basic information about fonts, their characteristics, and the specific fonts available in PCL emulation, and PostScript Level 2 emulation. Note: PCL emulation refers to printer emulation when it is responding to either PCL 5 or PCL 6 data stream commands. Differences in the way fonts are handled when in PCL 5 emulation or PCL 6 emulation are noted in this appendix.

Typefaces and Fonts

A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well chosen typefaces make a document easier to read. The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL emulation and PostScript Level 2 emulation. See Resident Fonts on page 334 for a listing of all resident fonts.

Weight and Style

Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations modify the original typeface so you can, for example, emphasize important words in text or highlight book titles. The different weights and styles are designed to complement the original typeface. Weight refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines result in darker characters. Some words commonly used to describe the weight of a typeface are bold, medium, light, black, and heavy. Style refers to other typeface modifications, such as tilt or character width. Italic and oblique are styles where the characters are tilted. Narrow, condensed, and extended are three common styles that modify the character widths. Some fonts combine several weight and style modifications; for example Helvetica Narrow Bold Italic. A group of several weight and style variations of a single typeface is called a typeface family. Most typeface families have four variations: regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. Some families have more variations, as the following illustration for the Helvetica typeface family shows:
Helvetica Helvetica Italic Helvetica-Bold Helvetica-BoldItalic ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
