    5 Loading print media
    This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use 
    with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper 
    trays for the best print quality. 
    This chapter includes:
    • Selecting print media
    • Loading paper
    • Knowing an output location
    Selecting print media
    You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
    labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the 
    guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the 
    guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following 
    problems:
    • Poor print quality
    • Increased paper jams
    • Premature wear on the machine.
    Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, 
    are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the 
    output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
    • The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are 
    described later in this section.
    • Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate 
    for your project.
    • Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce 
    sharper, more vibrant images.
    • Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how 
    crisp the printing looks on the paper. 
    Notes
    • Using print media that does not meet these specifications may 
    cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not 
    covered by the warranty or service agreements.
    • Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section 
    and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the 
    result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and 
    humidity levels, or other variables over which manufacturer 
    has no control.
    • Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that 
    it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

    Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
    When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep 
    these guidelines in mind:
    • Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on 
    the next column.
    • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause 
    paper jams and poor print quality.
    • For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper 
    specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
    • Avoid using the following print media types:
    - Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too 
    smooth or too rough
    - Erasable bond paper
    - Multi-paged paper
    - Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
    - Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. 
    • Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical 
    smells, and damage to your printer.
    • Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 
    Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place 
    heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or 
    unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can 
    cause it to wrinkle or curl.
    • Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 and 30
    oC (59 
    to 86oF). The relative humidity should be between 10 and 70%.
    • Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic 
    container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating 
    your paper.
    • Load special print media types one sheet at a time through the 
    manual tray to avoid paper jams.
    • To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from 
    sticking together, remove them as they print out.
    Note
    • If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the top 
    cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.
    Guidelines for special print media
    Ty p eGuidelines
    Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends 
    upon the quality of the envelopes. When 
    selecting envelopes, consider the following 
    factors:
    - Weight: The weight of the envelope paper 
    should not exceed 90 g/m
    2 (24 lb) or jamming 
    may occur.
    - Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes 
    should lie flat with less than 6 mm 
    (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
    - Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, 
    nicked, or otherwise damaged.
    - Temperature: You should use envelopes that 
    are compatible with the heat and pressure of 
    the printer during operation.
    • Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp 
    and well creased folds.
    • Do not use stamped envelopes.
    • Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, 
    windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or 
    other synthetic materials.
    • Do not use damaged or poorly made 
    envelopes.
    • Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope 
    extends all the way to the corner of the 
    envelope.
    • Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with 
    more than one flap that folds over to seal must 
    use adhesives compatible with the printer’s 
    fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your 
    machine’s specification to view the fusing 
    temperature, see page 11.1. The extra flaps 
    and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or 
    jams, and may even damage the fuser.
    • For the best print quality, position margins no 
    closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges 
    of the envelope.
    • Avoid printing over the area where the 
    envelope’s seams meet.
