When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other specialmedia, keep these guidelines in mind:• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn papercan 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. • Do not use paper that has been already printed on or thathas been fed through a photocopier.• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs orstaples.• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and neveroverfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, ortexture that is too smooth or too rough.• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as whitephotocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’sfusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second withoutdeterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating thatwas added after the paper was produced.• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or releasehazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’sapproximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1second.• Store paper in its ream wrapper until it is ready to use.Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether itis packaged or unpackaged. • Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or otherconditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.4.3PRINT MEDIAChoosing Paper and Other MediaPaper Guidelines
4.4PRINT MEDIASelecting the Output TrayThe printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray,open it.• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, tryprinting to the rear output tray.• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer isprinting.The top output tray collects paper face-down, incorrect order. The top output tray should be usedfor most print jobs and is recommended for printingthe following:• over 250 sheets of paper, continuously➐➐➐➐Top output trayThe printer always prints to the rear output tray if itis open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up,with the last page on top.Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rearoutput tray provides the straight paper path.Opening the rear output tray might improve outputquality with the following:• over 100 sheets of paper, continuously• envelopes• labels• small custom-size paper• postcards• paper lighter than 16 lb (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2)• transparencies:Note: Some special transparencies may have stackingproblem by curl.
