Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long,
running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, we recommend grain long stock. For papers heavier
than 135 g/m
2
(36 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, we recommend
60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long. If you feed papers heavier than 135 g/m
2
(36 lb
bond) from the multipurpose feeder, grain short is preferred
Ordering Special Supplies for Label Printing
Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers to handle. To optimize printer
performance, use the special label fuser cleaner for printers dedicated to label printing.
To get the special label oil fuser cleaner (to use with simplex labels and vinyl labels), order print
cartridge P/N 1382929. If you need additional label fuser cleaners of this type (packaged separately
from the print cartridge), order P/N 43H0814. If you are duplexing other jobs, do not use the special
label fuser cleaner that comes with this cartridge.
Duplexing of specially designed duplex labels is only supported in the S1855. You must also use a
specially designed wax fuser cleaner (P/N 99A1082) with this application. The cartridge containing
this special wax fuser cleaner should be ordered when cartridge replacements are needed.
