Thick Stock
Paper thicker than 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) is referred to as thick stock. Test all 
thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image 
does not shift.

Envelopes
Print on the front (address) side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of 
three layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these lay-
ered regions may be lost or faded.
Use envelopes that are
„Envelope C6 or Envelope DL
(Other envelope sizes are not supported.)
„Common office envelopes approved for laser printing with diagonal joints, 
sharp folds and edges, and ordinary gummed flaps
Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed 
area on the flaps may seal. Using envelopes with emulsion-based 
glue avoids this problem.

Labels
A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and 
a carrier sheet:
„The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.
„The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhe-
sive should come through on the surface.
You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the 
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If 
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.
Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. 
Check your application documentation for more information on printing labels.
Use label sheets that are
„Recommended for laser printers
DO NOT use label sheets that 
„Have labels that easily peel off or have parts of the label already removed
„Have backing sheets that have peeled away or have exposed adhesive
Labels may stick to the fuser, causing them to peel off and media 
misfeeds to occur.

If the postcard is warped, press on the warped 
area before putting it in Tray 1.
Printable Area
The printable area on all media sizes is 
up to 4.2 mm (0.165) from the edges 
of the media.
Each media size has a specific print-
able area (the maximum area on which 
the machine can print clearly and with-
out distortion). 
This area is subject to both hardware 
limits (the physical media size and the 
margins required by the machine) and 
software constraints (the amount of 
memory available for the full-page 
frame buffer). The printable area for all media sizes is the page size minus 
4.2 mm (0.165) from all edges of the media.
When printing in color on legal-size media, the following limitations 
apply.
zThe printable area is 339.6 (13.4) mm from the leading edge of 
the paper. (However, there is a non-printable area up to 4.2 mm 
(0.165) from the leading edge.)
zThe bottom margin is 16.0 mm (0.63).

							Printable Area5-9 Envelopes
Envelopes can only be printed on their front sides (side where the recipient’s 
address is written). In addition, printing on the front side in the area overlap-
ping the back flap cannot be guaranteed. The location of this area differs 
depending on the envelope type.
The envelope print orientation is determined by your application.
With the Envelope DL size (long edge feeding), the nonprintable areas 
on the left and right sides are 6 mm.
Page Margins
Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set 
custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes 
and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may 
lose part of your image (due to printable area constraints). If you can cus-
tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the printable 
area for optimum results.

							Loading Media 5-10
Loading Media 
How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a 
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx-
imately 200 sheets at a time, fan the 
stack to prevent static buildup before 
inserting it in a tray.
Note
Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of 
media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media 
type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain 
paper (such as envelopes, labels, or thick stock) may adversely affect 
print quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it 
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. 
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media mis-
feeds.
Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray)
For details on the types and sizes of media that can be printed from Tray 1, 
refer to “Print Media” on page 5-2.
