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  62.)
• 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  62.)
• Using
 inflammable print media can cause a fire.
•Use desig
 nated print media (See  Print media specifications on 
page  62 ).
 
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.
