What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (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 image-
able area, the maximum area on which 
the printer can print clearly and without 
distortion. 
This area is subject to both hardware 
limits (the physical media size and the 
margins required by the printer) 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 4.2 mm (0.165) 
from all edges of the media.
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.

How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a 
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx-
imately 100 sheets at a time, fan the 
stack to prevent static buildup before 
inserting it in a tray.
Do not fan transparencies.
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, thick stock, or transparencies) 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. 
Tray 1 (Manual Feed Tray)
For details on the types and sizes of media that can be printed from Tray 1,
