2This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality. This chapter includes:• Choosing Paper and Other Materials• Loading Paper• Printing on Special Print MaterialsUSING PRINT MATERIALS
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.2Choosing Paper and Other MaterialsYou can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Printing on Special Print Materials” on page 2.14. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.When you choose print materials, consider the following:•Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project.•Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.•Weight : Your printer supports paper weighs as follows: -16~24lbs (60~90g/m2) bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 -16~43lbs (60~163g/m2) bond for the Multi-purpose Tray -20~24lbs (75~90g/m2) bond for duplex printing•Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images. •Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the specifications listed on page E.6 can cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.Sizes and CapacitiesSizeInput Source/Capacity**Depending on paper thickness, the maximum capacity may be reduced.Tray 1 Tray 2(option)Multi-purpose TrayManual FeedPlain Paper 250 500 100 1Envelopes—— 10 1Labels**** If you are experiencing excessive jamming, feed one sheet at a time through the Multi-purpose Tray.—— 10 1Transparencies**—— 30 1Card stock**—— 10 1
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.32Guidelines for Paper and Special MaterialsWhen selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind:• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality. • Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.• Do not attempt to load any tray while printing and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough.• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s fusing temperature.• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. • Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.NOTE: Do not use carbonless paper and tracing paper. They could make smell of chemicals and damage your printer.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.4Loading PaperProper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 2.2 for acceptable paper capacities for each tray. Using Tray 1 The tray, Tray 1, can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain A4 and letter-sized paper.You can purchase an optional tray, Tray 2, and attach it below Tray 1, to load an additional 500 sheets of paper. 1Pull the tray out of the printer.2Push down on the metal plate until it locks into position.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.523Flex the paper sheets back and forth to separate the pages, and then fan them while holding one edge. Tap the edge of the stack on a flat surface to even it up.4Load paper with the print side facing up.Make sure that all four corners are flat in the tray and under the following corner brackets.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.65Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause a paper jam.6While pinching the paper guide as shown, move it toward the paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not press the guide too tightly against the edge of the paper; the guide may bend the paper. NOTE: If you want to change the paper size in the tray, refer to page 2.7.7Slide the tray back into the printer.8When you print a document, select the paper type, size and source in your software application. For details, see page 3.7.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.72Changing the Paper Size in the TrayThe tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To change the size to A4 or Letter, you must adjust the paper length guide properly.1Lift the paper length guide and place it in the correct position for the paper size you are loading.To remove the paper length guide, turn it slightly to your right to release the locks on the bottom of the guide, then pull it up. To place the paper length guide in the paper position you want, insert the locks on the bottom of the guide into the desired paper slot and push it all the way in. Paper length guide12
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.82Load paper with the print side facing up. For more information see steps 4 and 5 on page 2.5~2.63While pinching the paper guide as shown, move it toward the paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not too tightly press the guide to the edge of the paper; the guide may bend the paper.Using the Optional Tray 2 The optional tray, Tray 2, can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of plain paper.To load paper in Tray 2, follow the instructions for loading paper on page 2.4.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.92Using the Multi-purpose TrayThe Multi-purpose Tray is located on the right side of your printer. It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact. The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of material, such as transparencies, cards and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterhead, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special materials that you do not normally keep in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10 envelopes, 30 transparencies, 10 sheets of card stock or 10 labels at a time. • Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multi-purpose Tray.• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multi-purpose Tray. This also applies to other types of print materials.• Print materials should be loaded face down with the top edge going into the Multi-purpose Tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.To load print material in the Multi-purpose Tray:1Lower the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support extension as shown. Multi-purpose Tray
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.102If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems. 3Load the print material with the print side facing down and against the right edge of the tray.4Pinch the paper width guide and slide it to the right to touch lightly against the edge of the material without bending it.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.112If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multi-purpose Tray, the printed side should be facing up with the uncurled edge towards the printer. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around.NOTE: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.5When you print a document, set the paper source to MP Tray and select the correct paper type in the software application. For details, see page 3.7.NOTE: After printing, fold up the extender back in place and close the Multi-purpose Tray.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.12Using the Manual Feed If you select Manual in the Source option when changing print settings, you can manually load a sheet of print material in Multi-purpose Tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed. This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the Multi-purpose Tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the Tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the On-Line/Continue button ( ) on the control panel to print each following page.1Load a sheet of print material with the print side down and against the right edge of the Multi-purpose Tray. 2Pinch the paper width guide and slide it to the right to touch lightly against the edge of the paper without bending it.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.1323When you print a document, you must select Manual for Source in the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 3.7. 4Print the document. The display shows a message prompting you to load paper. 5Press the On-Line/Continue button ( ). The printer picks up the print material and prints. After one page is printed, the message appears again.6Insert the next sheet into the Multi-purpose Tray and press the On-Line/Continue button ( ).Repeat this step for every page to be printed.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.14Printing on Special Print MaterialsPrinting on Envelopes• Load envelopes into the Multi-purpose Tray only.• Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before loading envelopes in the Multi-purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not feed stamped envelopes.• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. To print on envelopes:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Flex or fan the edge of the envelope stack to separate them before loading.3Load the envelopes into the Multi-purpose Tray with the flap side up. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the tray last.

For details, see page 3.7.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.16Printing on Labels• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to the printer components.• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out. To print on labels:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Load labels only in the Multi-purpose Tray with the print side down and the top, short edge in first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.1723When you print, configure the paper source to MP Tray, the paper type to Labels and the size in the software application. For details, see page 3.7. Printing on Transparencies• When you print a color document, do not use transparencies attached to plain paper. This may cause print quality problems.• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.• Ensure that transparencies do not have torn edges and are not wrinkled or curled.• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.• Be careful not to leave fingerprints on or scratch the print side.To print on transparencies:1Open Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.182Load transparencies only in the Multi-purpose Tray with the print side down, and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the transparencies.3When you print, configure the paper source to MP Tray, the paper type to Transparency, and the paper size in the software application. For details, see page 3.7. NOTES: • To prevent transparencies from sticking together, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.192Printing on Preprinted Paper• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds.• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper, reducing the print quality.To print on preprinted paper:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Load letterhead only in the Multi-purpose Tray with the print side down. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the paper stack.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.203When you print, configure the paper source to MP Tray, the paper type to Preprinted, and the paper size in the software application. For details, see page 3.7. Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Materials• Postcards, 3.5in. by 5.5in. (index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with your printer. The minimum size is 90mm by 140mm (3.5in. by 5.5in.) and the maximum size is 216mm by 356mm (8.5in. by 14in.).• Always insert the short edge into the Multi-purpose Tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection using your software. Inserting paper long edge first may cause a paper jam.• Do not load more than 10 cards into the Multi-purpose Tray at a time.• Do not print on material smaller than 90mm (3.5in.) wide or 140mm (5.5in.) long.• Set margins at least 4.3mm away from the edges of the material in the software application.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.212To print on card stock:1Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.2Load print material only in the Multi-purpose Tray with the print side down and the short edge first. Slide the guide until it lightly touches the stack without bending it.
USING PRINT MATERIALS2.223When you print, configure the paper source to MP Tray, the paper type and size in the software application. For details, see page 3.7.
