l Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam. l Pre - punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper. l Weight guidelines for pre - punched paper are the same as non - punched paper. Envelopes Depending on the choice of envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of light wrinkling. Before buying large quantities of any print media, Dell recommends trying a sample first. See Loading Print Media in Tray 1 or Loading the Single Sheet Feeder for instructions on loading an envelope. When printing on envelopes: l Use only high - quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers. l Set the print media source to the single sheet feeder or Tray 1. Set the paper type to Envelope , and select the correct size of envelope from the printer driver. l For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m 2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m 2 (28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m 2 (24 lb bond) weight. l Use only new, undamaged envelopes. l Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°FyfZLWKRXWVHDOLQJH[FHVVLYHFXUOLQJZULQNOLQJRUUHOHDVLQJKD]DUGRXVHPLVVLRQV,I\RX have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the envelope supplier. l Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes. l To load envelope in the single sheet feeder, insert the envelopes with the flaps closed and the short - edge of the envelopes facing into the printer. The print side must be facing down. l See Loading Print Media in Tray 1 or Loading the Single Sheet Feeder for instructions on loading an envelope. l Use one envelope size during a print job. l Ensure the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes. l For best performance, do not use envelopes that: Have excessive curl or twist Are stuck together or damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, embossing Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have an interlocking design Have postage stamps attached Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position Have nicked edges or bent corners Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers.

l Set the paper type to Label from the printer driver.
l Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray. This may result in a jam.
l Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
l Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die cut.
l Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your
cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
l Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°FyfZLWKRXWVHDOLQJH[FHVVLYHFXUOLQJZULQNOLQJRUUHOHDVLQJKD]DUGRXVHPLVVLRQV.
l Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die - cuts of the label.
l Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. Dell recommends zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away
from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
l If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 inches) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non - oozing
adhesive should be used.
l Remove a 3 mm (0.125 inches) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
l Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
l Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Storing Print Media
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines help avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality.
l For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°FyfDQGWKHUHODWLYHKXPLGLW\LV\b.
l Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
l If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl.
l Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

2. Adjust the paper guides so they rest against the edges of the paper. 3. Before loading the print media, flex the sheets back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. 4. Place the print media into the tray with the recommended print side face up. 5. Adjust the width guides until they rest lightly against the edges of the stack of paper. 6. After confirming that the guides are securely adjusted, insert the tray into the printer and extend the output tray on the top of the printer. Loading Letterhead The letterhead must be toward the top edge of the tray 1 with the print side facing up. However, the letterhead must be inserted top edge first with the print side facing down when loading paper into the single sheet feeder. NOTE: When you feed paper from the tray loaded with Legal size paper, extend the rear side of the tray. NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum fill line in the tray. Overfilling the tray may cause paper jams. NOTE: When loading user - specified print media, adjust the width guides and slide the extendable part of the tray by down the length guide until it rests lightly against the edge of the stack of paper.

Loading the Envelope To load an envelope in the single sheet feeder, insert the envelope with the flap closed when the short edge of the envelop e faces into the printer. Place the envelope with the print side facing down and slide the envelope into the entry slot. Using the Single Sheet Feeder l Insert an envelope with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top right side. l Load letterhead face - down, with the top of the sheet entering the printer first. l If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Using the Manual Duplex Function Manual Duplex printing (or two - sided printing) allows you to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For sizes that are acceptable for duplex printing, see Print Media Sizes and Support . Using Booklet Print To use booklet print, you must select either Flip on Short Edge or Flip on Long Edge from the Duplex menu in the Printing Preferences dialog box and then select Booklet Creation in the Booklet/Poster/Mixed Document dialog box displayed by clicking the Booklet/Poster/Mixed Document button. From the Duplex menu, you can define the way two - sided print pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even - numbered pages) is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd - numbered pages). NOTE: Do not force the print media into the single sheet feeder. NOTICE: Never use the envelope with windows, coated linings, or self - stick adhesives. These lead to paper jams and can cause damage to the printer. NOTE: Ensure that you set the envelope with the flaps completely closed. NOTE: You cannot use booklet print with the single sheet feeder. Flip on Long Edge Assumes binding along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait orientation and top edge for landscape orientation). The following illustration shows long - edge binding for portrait and landscape pages: Flip on Short Edge Assumes binding along the short edge of the page (top edge for portrait orientation and left edge for landscape orientation).
