"Setting the paper size and type" on page 43).
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
99).
Tips on using the Multi-purpose tray
• Load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time in the Multi-
purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still
paper in the Multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print
media.
• Always load the specified print media only to avoid paper jams and print
quality problems (see "Print media specifications" on page 99).
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them
into the Multi-purpose tray.

• When papers overlap when printing using Multi-purpose tray, open tray
1 and remove overlapping papers then try printing again.
4 When you print a document, set the paper type and size for the Multi-

2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
• If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, creases, 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.
1 Pressure lever
• When you are printing on an envelope, close the output support.
Otherwise, paper jam may occur.
1 Output support
• 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.

Media and tray

2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
• 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.
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
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.
-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.
Media and tray
42
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
• 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 the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.
• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.
