PRINT MEDIA
Choosing Paper and Other Media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See
“Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible
print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print media, 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 weight as follows:
16~28 lbs bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2
16~43 lbs bond for Multi-Purpose Tray
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.
Opacity: Opacity refers to the degree to which printing on
one side of the paper shows through the other side. Use
paper high in opacity (or thicker paper) for two-sided
(duplex) printing.
Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large
quantities.
CAUTION: Using media that does not confirm to the specification
listed in the paper specification can cause problems that may
require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or
service agreements.

If you are experiencing excessive jamming, feed one sheet at a time
through the Multi-Purpose Tray.
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
media, 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.
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 tray during printing and never
overfill the tray. 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 printers
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, heat-
resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the printers
approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1
second.
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 it
is packaged or unpackaged.
Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Selecting the Output Tray
The 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, 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.
The top output tray collects paper face-down, in
correct order. The top output tray should be used
for most print jobs and is recommended for printing
the following:
over 250 sheets of paper, continuously
Top output tray
The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it
is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up,
with the last page on top.
Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear
output tray provides the straight paper path.
Opening the rear output tray might improve output
quality with the following:
over 100 sheets of paper, continuously
envelopes
labels
small custom-size paper
postcards
paper lighter than 16 lb (60 g/m
2
) or
heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m

)
transparencies:
Note: Some special transparencies may have stacking
problem by curl. In that case, please use the face down tray.

Loading Paper
The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front 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 paper, such as transparencies, cards, and
envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray
for single page print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use
as separator sheets, or other special paper that you do not
normally keep in the paper tray.
You can load approximately 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes,
20 transparencies, 10 card stocks or 25 labels at a time.
When you print from the Multi-Purpose Tray, you must select
Multi-Purpose Tray for Paper Source from your software
application, and then select the paper size and type from the
software application for the paper you have loaded. See page
5.3.
Load only one size of print media 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 media should be loaded face up with the top of the
print media going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and
be
placed against the left edge of the tray.
Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid
pressing down or applying excessive force on it.

4.14
Printing on Labels
Guidelines
Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
Do not load more than 25 labels into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.
Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C
(392°F) for 0.1 second.
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 printer components.
Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing
is designed for one pass through the printer.
Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, separated from the backing sheet, or
damaged in any way.
11
Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and the
rear output tray.
22
Load labels with print side up, and
against the left edge of the tray. Adjust
the guide to fit the width of the labels.

When you print on labels, configure the
paper source, type and size in the
software application. For details, see
page 5.3.
Note: To prevent them from sticking
together, remove label sheet from the
output tray as they are printed out.
PRINT MEDIA
4.15
Printing on Transparencies
Guidelines
Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
Do not load more than 20 transparencies into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.
Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have
any torn edge.
Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your
fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.
Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.
11
Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and pull
the extender out ot its full-length
position.
22
Load transparencies with print side
up, and the top with the adhesive
strip entering the printer first.

the guide to fit the width of the paper
stack.
22
When you print a document on the
paper, configure the paper source, type
and size in the software application. For
details, see page 5.3.
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 exsample).
Guidelines
Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printers fusing temperature of 400°F
(205°C) for 0.1 second.
Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer
rollers.
Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
