PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your MFP will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes. 
This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when  using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed 
for use in copiers and laser printers. A  suitable type is Color Copy by Mondi.
Use of heavily embossed or very roug h textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the in k must not offset when exposed to the high 
fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or  other deformations. They should also be of the 
rectangular flap type, with glue that remains  intact when subjected to hot roll pressure 
fusing used in this type of printe r. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Labels should also be of the type recommen ded for use in copiers and laser printers, in 
which the base carrier page is entirely cove red by labels. Other types of label stock may 
damage the printer due to the labels peeling off  during the printing process. A suitable type 
is Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter).
Business cards recommended are produced by Oki (Order No. 09002985).
Use of transparencies is not recommended.
CASSETTE TRAY
The Cassette Tray can handle paper weights of  64g/m² to 176g/m². The Cassette Tray is 
ideal for printing A4 documents of more than 1 page in length.
If you have identical paper stock loaded in the multi purpose tray, you can have the printer 
automatically switch to the other tray when  the current tray runs out of paper. When 
printing from Windows applications, this functi on is enabled in the driver settings. When 
printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print  Menu.
MULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same  media sizes as the cassette trays but in 
weights of 75g/m² to 203g/m². For very heavy  paper stock, use the face up (rear) paper 
stacker. This ensures that the paper path  through the printer is almost straight.
CAUTION!
Transparencies will melt in the fuser and damage your machine.

The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 105mm and lengths up to 
1200mm (banner printing - MC360 only).
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 90g/m² and 
128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.
When using the multi purpose tray, feed each  sheet of paper or envelope one-by-one, 
rather than stacking them. This helps to avoid paper jams.
Watermarked or headed paper should be loaded  print side up and top edge into the printer.

6.Close the cassette tray gently.
To prevent paper jams:
> Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper.

paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is 
approximately 150 sheets, depending on paper weight.
> For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker is open and the 
paper support is extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray 
capacity is approximately 10 sheets, depending on paper weight.
> Always use the face up (rear) stacke r for heavy paper (card stock, etc.).

NETWORK SET UP
The MFP has to be set up properly on your network to perform scan to e-mail and other 
functions. In order for other network devices to  find the MFP on the network, the following 
network parameters have to be set:
IP Address Set:
IP Address: .    .    .

address. The IP address consists of tw o parts, one identifying the network and 
the one identifying your node. The IP  address is usually written as four 
numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 
10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.
NOTE
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the main communication protocol used 
to send and receive e-mail on the Internet.
