specifications" on page 125).
The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the
printer may lead to overheating of the unit andS in rare cases
may cause a fire.

The duplex unit is preset to Letter/LGL or A4 size, depending on your
country. To change the paper size, adjust the guide as shown below.
If you do not adjust the guide, it may cause paper
registration, image skew, or jamming of the paper.

before loading papers.
3 Place paper with the side you want to print on facing down.
4 Slide the paper length guide until it lightly touches the end of
the paper stack.
5 Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the

• Do not push the paper width guide too far causing the
media to warp.
• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause
paper jams.
• Do not use a paper with a leading-edge curl, it may cause
a paper jam or the paper can be wrinkled.

Loading in multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print
material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print
media specifications" on page 125).
Tips on using the multi-purpose tray
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing
when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge
going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the
center of the tray.
• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only
load the available paper (see "Print media specifications"
on page 125).
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before
loading them into the multi-purpose tray.
• When printing on special media, you must follow the
loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on
page 41).
• When papers overlap when printing using the multi-
purpose tray, open tray 1 and remove the papers then try
printing again.
• When paper does not feed well while printing, push the
paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.

tray extension, as shown.

Printing on special media
The table below shows the special media usable in each tray.
The media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. Select the
proper media type to get the highest printing quality.
• When using special media, we recommend you feed one
sheet at a time (see "Print media specifications" on page
125).
•Printing the special media (Face up)
If special media are printed out with curl, wrinkles, crease,
or black bold lines, open the rear cover and try printing
again. Keep the rear cover opened during printing.
To see for paper weights for each sheet, refer to "Print media
specifications" on page 125.

Envelope
Printing successfully on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.
If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease, or black bold lines,
open the rear cover and pull down the pressure lever on the right
side about 90 degrees and try printing again. Keep the rear cover
opened during printing.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise; jams may
occur.
-Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and
should not contain air.
-Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-Temperature: should resist the heat and pressure of the
machine during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well-
creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the
way to the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C
(338 °F)). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling,
creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm
from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed
for use in laser printers.
• Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
• Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long.
Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty
printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them
carefully.
Media and tray 44
2. Menu overview and basic setup
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any
torn edges.
• Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
• To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let
the printed sheets stack up as they are being printed out.
• Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by
Xerox, such as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780(Letter)
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in
laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing
temperature. Check your machine’s specifications to view the
fusing temperature (about 170°C (338°F)).
-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
-Curl: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any
direction.
Media and tray 45
2. Menu overview and basic setup
-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
• 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 run a sheet of labels through the machine more than
once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass
through the machine.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or
are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/ Custom-sized paper
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25
inches) away from the edges of the material.
