Maximum capacity may be reduced depending on paper thickness.2. If you are experiencing excessive jamming, load one sheet at a time through the Bypass tray.
PAPER HANDLING3.33Guidelines 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 the poor print quality.• Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.• 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 it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.•During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page B.6.•Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds.- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.• It is recommended that you load special paper types one sheet at a time.• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser printers.•To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints out.• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.•Do not leave transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.•To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies and coated paper carefully.•To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 oC and 30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be between 10 % and 70 %.
PAPER HANDLING3.4•Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200 oC (392o F) for 0.1 second.• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.•Do not load a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.Selecting an Output LocationThe machine has two output locations; the rear output slot (face up) and the front output tray (face down). To use the front output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed. To use the rear output slot, open the cover.NOTES:• If paper coming out of the front output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output slot.•To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the machine is printing.Front outputtrayRear output slot
PAPER HANDLING3.53Printing to the Front Output Tray (Face down)The front output tray collects printed paper face-down, in correct order. The tray should be used for most print jobs.Printing to the Rear Output Slot (Face up)Using the rear output slot, paper comes out of the machine face-up.Printing from the Bypass tray to the rear output slot provides the straight paper path. Using the rear output slot might improve the output quality with the following:•envelopes• labels• small custom-sized paper• postcards•transparencies
PAPER HANDLING3.6To use the rear output slot:1Open the rear cover by pulling it upward. CAUTION: The fusing area at the rear part of the inside of your machine is hot when powered. Be careful not to be burned when you access this area.2If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output slot, close the rear cover. The pages will stack on the front output tray.Loading Paper in the Paper TrayThe paper tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper. For copying or faxing, you can use A4-, Letter- or Legal-sized paper only. For PC-printing, you can use many different sizes of paper; see page 3.2.
PAPER HANDLING3.73The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is lowered.To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down.You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front side of the tray.For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 1.12.➛ Paper empty Paper full ❿
PAPER HANDLING3.8NOTES: • If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the Bypass tray.•You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the top side. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.Using the Bypass TrayUse the Bypass tray to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging from 100 x 148 mm (3.9 x 5.8 in.) to Legal, 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.), the largest size acceptable, and weighing between 16 lb and 32 lb.NOTES: •Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on page B.6 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.•Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes and labels before loading them into the Bypass tray.1Load a sheet of the print material with the print side face up and into the center of the tray.
PAPER HANDLING3.93For transparencies, 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. For envelopes, load a sheet with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top left side.2Adjust the paper guide to the width of the print material.The machine picks up the material from the tray and begins printing.NOTE: When printing on previously printed paper from the Bypass tray, the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge to the machine. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around.
PAPER HANDLING3.103Open the rear cover to use the rear output slot. 4After printing, close the rear cover.Setting the Paper Type and Size for the Bypass TrayAfter loading paper in the Bypass tray, you need to set the correct paper type and size using the control panel buttons.
