the following paper. 
■Use paper that is made for plain-paper 
copying.
■Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m2.
■Use neutral paper. Do not use acidic or 
alkaline paper.

approximately 5%.
Choosing acceptable paper
We recommend that you test paper 
(especially special sizes and types of paper) 
on the machine before purchasing large 
quantities.
For optimum printing, use a recommended 
type of paper, especially for plain paper and 
transparencies. For more information on 
paper specifications, call your nearest 
authorized sales representative or the place 
where you purchased your machine.
■Use labels or transparencies that are 
designed for use in laser printers.
■If you are using special paper and the 
machine has problems feeding from the 
paper tray, try again using the manual 
feed slot.
■You can use recycl ed paper in this 
machine.

To load paper or other media in the 
manual feed slot
You can load envelopes and special print 
media one at a time into this slot. Use the 
manual feed slot to print or copy on labels, 
envelopes or thicker paper. 
1Slide the paper guides to fit the paper 
size.
2Using both hands put the one sheet of 
paper in the manual feed slot until you 
feel the front edge of the paper touch the 
paper feed roller. Let go of the paper 
when you feel the machine feed the 
paper in a short distance.
Note
When you put paper in the manual feed slot, 
please remember the following:
■The side to be printed on must be face up.
■Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in 
first and push it gently into the slot.
■Make sure that the paper is straight and in 
the proper position on the manual feed 
slot. If it is not, the paper may not be fed 
properly, resulting in a skewed printout or 
a paper jam.
■Do not put more than one sheet or 
envelope in the manual feed slot at a time, 
or you may cause the machine to jam.
■You can remove smaller sizes of printed 
paper from the output paper tray more 
easily if you lift the scanner cover, using 
both hands, as shown in the illustration.
