If you are experiencing excessive jamming, feed one sheet at a time through the manual feeder. USING PRINT MATERIALS 3.3 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 that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier. • Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples. • Do not attempt to load any feeder during printing and never overfill the feeder. This could cause a paper jam. • Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or 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 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. 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 do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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. 3.4 USING PRINT MATERIALS Selecting the Output Location The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. ❷ Top output tray ❷ Rear output tray To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it. Notes: • If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray. • To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing. Printing to the Top Output Tray (Face down) The top output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order. The top output tray should be used for most print jobs. USING PRINT MATERIALS 3.5 Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up) The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up, and each time a sheet of paper comes out, it falls down from the printer. Printing from the Manual Feeder to the rear output tray provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray might improve the output quality with the following: • envelopes • labels • transparencies To open the rear output tray: 1 Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions as the output tray. Notes: Please be careful when you open the rear cover. The inside of the printer is still hot. 3.6 USING PRINT MATERIALS 2 If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output tray close the tray. The pages will stack on the top output tray. Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each tray. The paper level bar on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently right in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is lowered. Paper full Paper empty Using the Tray The tray holds 250 sheets of paper. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and capacities of each tray.
