This chapter provides information on how  to load print media into your machine.
This chapter includes:
•Selecting print media
• Changing the tray size
• Loading paper in the tray •
Printing on special media
• Changing the tray size
  
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print me dia, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meets the 
guidelines for use with your machi ne and from the appropriate tray. 
Guidelines for selecting the print media
Print media that does not meet the gui delines outlined in this user’s guide 
may cause the following problems:
• Poor print qua
 lity
• In
creased paper jams
•Pre
mature wear on the machine.
•Permanen
 t fuser damage, not covered under warranty.
Properties, such as weight, compositio n
 , 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 in print media specifications. (See  Print media specifications 
on page  61.)
• Desired
  outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for 
your project.
• Bri
ghtness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce 
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surfa
ce smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how 
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
 •Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and 
still not produce satisfactory results.  This may be the result of the 
sheets characteristics, impro per handling, unacceptable 
temperature and humidity levels,  or other variables over which 
cannot be controlled.
• Befo
re purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it 
meets the specifications in this us er’s guide and that it meets your 
output requirements. 
 
• 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.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to 
me
 dia type used. (See  Print media specifications on page  61.)
• Using
 inflammable print media can cause a fire.
•Use desig
 nated print media (See  Print media specifications on 
page  61 ).
 
The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the printer 
may lead to overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a 
fire.

Manual feeding in the tray
The tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as 
postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on 
letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the manual feeding method
•If you select  Paper > Source  > Manual Feeder  from your printer 
driver, you need to press 
 each time you print a page.
Load only one type, size and weight of p
 rint media at a time in the 
tray.
• To pre
vent paper jams, do not add media while printing. 
•Pri
nt media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into 
the tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.

•Always load the use recommended print media to avoid paper jams 
and print quality problems. (See  Print media specifications on 
page  61.)
• Fl
atten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading 
them into the tray.
1. Loa
d the paper in the tray.
 •When printing on special media, you must follow the 
loading guideline. (See  Printing on special media on 
page  29 .)
• W
hen paper does not feed well while printing, gently push 
the paper in manually until it  starts feeding automatically. 
2. Sque
eze the tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of 
the paper. Do not force them too much, or the paper will bend 
resulting in a paper jam or skew.
3. Op
en the output support. 
4.To
 print from an application, open  the application and open the print 
menu.
5. Op
en  Printing Preferences . (See Opening printing preferences on 
page  33.)
6. Cli
ck on the Paper  tab in Printing Preferences, and select an 
appropriate paper type.
 For example, if you want to use  a label, set the paper type to 
Label .
7. Select  Manu
 al Feeder in paper source, then press  OK.
8. Sta
rt printing.
 If you are printing multiple pages,  load the next sheet after the first 
page prints out, and press the 
. Repeat this step for every page 
to be printed.
Printing on special media
The table below shows the available special media for printing. 
 When printing on a special media, we recommend you feed one paper 
at a time. Check the ma ximum input number of media for tray. (See

The following media types are shown in the  Prin
 ting Preferences. This 
paper type option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the 
tray. Selecting the appropriate medi a will let you get the best printout 
quality. Selecting inappropriate medi a can result in poor print quality.
• Plain:  Normal plain paper. Select this type if your printing on 60 to 120 
g/

m2 (16 to 32 lbs).
• T
hick:  90 to 163 g/m2 (24 to 43 lbs) thick paper.
• Th
in:  60 to 70 g/m2 (16 to 19 lbs) thin paper.
• C
otton:  75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs) cotton paper.
• Co
lor:  75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs) color-back grounded paper.
• Pr
eprinted:  75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs) preprinted/letterhead paper.
• R
ecycled:  60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lbs) recycled paper.
 When you use recycled paper, printouts might be wrinkled and/or 
jamming may occur due  to excessive curl. 
• C

Envelopes
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the 
envelopes. 
To print on an envelope, the stamp area should be on the left side and the 
e

nd of the envelope with the stamp area  should enter the printer first in the 
center of the tray.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- We
ight:  The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 
90  g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur.
- Co
nstruction:  Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less 
than 6  mm ( 0.24 inch.) of curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition:  Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor 
dama

ged.
- Te
mperature:  Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and 
pressure
 of the machine during operation.
• Use only wel
 l-constructed envelopes wi th sharp-and well-creased folds.
• Do not use sta
 mped envelopes.
• Do not use envel
 opes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, 
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damag
 ed or poorly made envelopes.
• Be su
re the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to 
the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip  or with more than one flap that 
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s 
fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps 
and strips might cause wrinkling,  creasing, or jams, and may even 
damage the fuser.
• For the best print qual
 ity, position margins no closer than 15  mm ( 0.59 
inch.) from th
e edges of the envelope.
• Avo
id printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparencies
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser 
printers.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Pl
ace them on a flat surface afte r removing them from the machine.
• D
o not leave unused transparencies on  the paper tray for long periods of 
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• T
o avoid smudging caused by finge rprints, handle transparencies 
carefully.
• T
o avoid fading, do not expose pr inted transparencies to prolonged 
sunlight.
• En
sure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn 
edges.
• D
o not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
•T
o prevent transparencies from sticki ng to each other, do not let the 
printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out. 
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser 
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adh
esives:  The adhesive material should be stable at your 
ma
chine’s fusing temperature  (about 170°C (338 °F)). 
- Arra
ngement:  Only use labels with no exposed backing between 
th
em. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the 
labels, causing serious jams.
- Cur
l:  Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13  mm 
(0.51 inch.) of 
curl in any direction.
- Co
ndition:  Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other 
indi
cations of separation.
• Make
 sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
