							Loading Media 41
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.
„For media other than standard plain paper or transparencies, both the driver (Paper 
tab, Paper Type option) and the MP Size key on the control panel need to be selected. 
It is important to use the MP Size key to set the multipurpose tray to the appropriate 
media size in order to obtain optimum printing results.
Autoduplexing
Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done automatically with the optional duplex unit 
installed. 
5Only up to 28 lb bond (105 g/m²) plain paper can be duplexed.
If you are printing duplex from the upper or optional tray, load the media printing-side 
down with the top of the media (or letterhead or memo information) toward the right side 
of the tray. If you are printing duplex from the multipurpose tray, load the media 
printing-side up with the top of the media toward the printer. Set the driver, for example:
1In the printer driver, make sure you have selected Duplexer and clicked on the 
Add button.
2In the printer driver, select Simplex (1-sided pages), or Long Edge (flipped horizon-
tally as in a loose-leaf notebook), or Short Edge (flipped vertically as on a clipboard) 
as the Duplex option.
3Click OK.

4Load the paper face-up, short edge toward the 
right of the tray. 
Often, an arrow on the media package label 
indicates the printing-side of the media.
Do not overfill the tray.
A fill limit mark is provided on the inside of 
the tray. The media tray holds 500 sheets of 
20 lb bond (75 g/m²) paper.
Make sure that the paper fits easily between 
the guides and the paper corners are under the 
left and right media-separating tabs and are 
not bent.
Attention
Always readjust the media guides after inserting the media. Improperly 
adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

printer, slightly tilt up the tray to insert 
it into the installation rails to slide it 
back in.
Multipurpose Tray 
Page sizes other than letter, A4, and legal can be printed only from the multipurpose tray 
(also known as tray 1). Use the MP
 (Multipurpose) Size
 key on the control panel to set the 
page size. 
Other special types of media (such as thick stock, transparencies, and envelopes) are also 
fed from the multipurpose tray. See “Media Specifications”  in the Maintenance Guide
 for 
more information about media.

4Adjust the media guides to fit the size media 
you’re loading.
Attention
Always adjust the media guides after inserting the media. A guide that is not 
properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

control panel.
Printing Envelopes from the Multipurpose Tray
1Flex the envelope stack (including the edges) to remove any stiffness. 
2Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners. 
3Correct any bent corners, and then tap the envelopes on a flat surface to align them. 
4Place the envelope stack into the multipurpose tray with the flap-side up.
Check your application documentation to determine if the flap should be placed on 
the left or on the right. Print a single envelope to check the orientation before print-
ing multiple copies.

5Adjust the media guides to the width of the envelopes.
Make sure the guides are snug enough to keep the envelopes straight, but not so tight 
that they buckle the envelopes.
6Open the flap of each envelope immediately (before it cools) after the envelope is 
delivered to the output tray.
5Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed area on the flaps 
may seal. Using envelopes with emulsion-based glue avoids this problem.
Printing Area
The printing area on all media sizes is up to about 0.157 inch 
(4 mm) from the edges of the media.
Media Storage
When storing media, avoid:
„Direct sunlight
„Excess heat and humidity
„Dust 
If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging and store in a 
cool, dark place on a level surface.

Maintaining the Printer 
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause damage and void 
your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or outside of the printer, 
printer performance and print quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned 
periodically. Keep the following guidelines in mind:
„When cleaning the printer, always turn it off (O) and unplug it. Disconnect all 
interface cables before cleaning inside the printer.
If you have an optional 5-bin mailbox installed, turn the printer off first, then turn 
off the mailbox.
„Either clean the printer before use, or allow time after unplugging it to allow the 
fuser unit to cool down.
Attention
The fuser unit is hot. When the top cover is opened, the fuser unit 
temperature drops gradually (one hour wait time). 
„Be careful when cleaning the inside or removing paper jams, as the fuser unit and 
other internal parts may become very hot. 
„Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
„Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.
WARNING!
Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise the printer will be damaged 
and an electric shock may occur.
„Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printer’s surface; the spray could 
penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits. 
Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents, 
(such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
„Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small area of your 
printer to check the solutions performance.
