Caution
Do not use ink jet paper. It may cause a paper jam and damage your 
DCP. 
Choosing acceptable paper
We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and 
types of paper) on the DCP before purchasing large quantities.
■Avoid feeding label sheets that are partly used or your DCP will 
be damaged.
■Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
■Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper, or paper with an 
embossed letterhead.
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 DCP.
■Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in laser
 
printers.
■For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained 
paper.
■If you are using special paper and the paper has problems 
feeding from the paper tray, try again using the manual feed tray 
or multi-purpose tray.
■You can use recycled paper in this DCP.
The output quality depends on the paper type and paper brand.

							PAPER   2 - 7
To load paper or other media in the manual feed tray 
(For DCP-8040)
1Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to fit the 
paper size.
2Using both hands put paper in the manual feed tray until the 
front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller. Hold the 
paper in this position until the DCP automatically feeds the 
paper in for a short distance, and then let go of the paper.
When printing envelopes and labels you should only use the 
manual feed tray.
 
						

							2 - 8   PAPER
When you put paper in the manual feed tray, 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 tray.
■Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper 
position on the manual feed tray. 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 of paper or envelope in the 
manual feed tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.
