							Print Media 47
If you have problems feeding 50 sheets, try loading only 1–10 sheets 
at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may 
cause static buildup, causing feeding problems.
Always first test a small quantity of a particular type of transparency.
Use transparencies that are
„Approved for laser printing
DO NOT use transparencies that
„Have static electricity that will cause them to stick together
„Are specified for inkjet printers only
Glossy Media
Test all glossy media to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that 
the image does not shift.
You can print continuously with glossy media. 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.
DO NOT use glossy media that is
„Mixed with any other media in the trays (as this will cause media misfeed-
ing)

							Print Media 48
Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area
The printable area on all media sizes is 
up to 4 mm (0.157) from the edges of 
the media.
Each media size has a specific image-
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 guaranteed imageable 
(printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0.157) from 
all edges of the media.
When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 
18 mm (0.709).
When printing on glossy media, the top margin is 10 mm (0.394).
Imageable Area—Envelopes
Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope 
type.
The envelope 
print orienta-
tion is deter-
mined 
by your appli-
cation.
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 imageable area constraints). If you can cus-
tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imagea-
ble area for optimum results.

Loading Media
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a 
ream of the media. Holding a stack of 
approximately 200 sheets, fan the stack 
to prevent static buildup before inserting 
it in a tray.
Do not fan transparencies.
Note
Although this machine 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, thick stock, transparencies, or glossy 
media) 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 “Specifications” on page 40.

3Load the envelopes flap side 
down in the tray.
Before loading enve-
lopes, press them down 
to make sure that all air is 
removed, and make sure 
that the folds of the flaps 
are firmly pressed; other-
wise the envelopes may 
become wrinkled or a 
media misfeed may 
occur.
Up to 10 envelopes can 
be loaded into the tray at 
one time.
For envelopes with the 
flap along the long edge, 
load the envelopes with 
the flap toward the left of 
the machine.
