wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is
allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should
be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device
and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include
11
extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from
the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common
restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment
on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also
known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen
or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the
applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the
wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.
Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a
wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless
device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields
are in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any
way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use

USING PRINT MATERIALS
Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When 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, heatresistant 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 MATERIALS

The 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.
Multi-purpose Tray
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:
1 Lower the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support
extension as shown.
USING PRINT MATERIALS
2.9

USING PRINT MATERIALS 2.15
Printing 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:
1 Open the Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.
2 Load 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.
2.16 USING PRINT MATERIALS
3 When 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:
1 Open Multi-purpose Tray and unfold the paper support.
USING PRINT MATERIALS 2.17
2 Load 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.
3 When 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.
2.18 USING PRINT MATERIALS
Printing 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

What is an Overlay?
Dear ABC
Regards
WORLD BEST
An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you need only tell
the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay
containing your logo or image.
1 Create or open a document containing text or an image for
WORLD BEST
