Choosing Paper and Other Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, 
envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Paper 
Specifications” on page 6.3. To get the best possible print 
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the followings:
• 
Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be 
appropriate for the project.
• 
Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the 
paper adjusters of the paper feeder.
• 
Weight: Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
      • 16~24 lbs (60~90 g/m
2) bond for the tray
      • 16~43 lbs (60~165 g/m2) bond for the manual tray
• 
Brightness:  S o m e  p a p e r s  a r e  w h i t e r  than others and produce 
sharper, more vibrant images.
• 
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects 
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Caution: Using a material that does not conform to the 
specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems 
that may require service. This service is not covered by the 
warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special 
material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper 
can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print 
quality. 
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a 
texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may 
occur.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use. 
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 materials at temperatures between 15 
oC and 
30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be 
between 10 % and 70 %.
• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as 
any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture 
from contaminating your paper.
•
Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the manual 
tray to avoid paper jams.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser 
printers.
• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label 
sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints 
out.

•For envelopes:
- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well 
creased folds.
- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
- Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before 
loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they are 
undamaged and are not stuck together. 
- Do not feed stamped envelopes.
• For transparencies:
- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the 
printer.
- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. 
Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty 
printing.
- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and 
coated paper carefully.
- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to 
prolonged sunlight.
- Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser 
printers.
- Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have 
any torn edges.
•For labels:
- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate fusing 
temperature of 180 
oC (356o F) for 0.1 second.
- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material 
between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off 
during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed 
adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.
- Do not load a sheet of them through the printer more than 
once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass 
through the machine.
- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing 
sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
- Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:
- Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-
sized materials can be printed with this printer. The 
minimum size is 76 by 127mm(3.0 by 5.0 in.) and the 
maximum size is 216 by 356mm(8.5 by 14 in.)
- Always insert the short-edge into the manual tray first. If 
you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection 
through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may 
cause a paper jam.
- Do not print on media smaller than 76mm (3.0 in.) wide or 
127mm(5.0 in.) long.
• For preprinted paper:
- Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will 
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when 
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 205 °C 
(400 °F) for 0.1 second.
- Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not 
adversely affect any printer rollers.
- Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof 
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
- Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, 
verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing 
process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
• Do not use 
Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of 
these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could 
damage your printer.

Verifying the Output Location
The printer has the paper output tray that collects paper face-
down, in correct order.
Notes:
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output 
tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and 
especially keep children away from the surface.
• The front output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. Remove 
the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.
Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure 
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while 
a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Type, 
Input Sources and Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper 
size and capacity for the tray. 
Using the Tray
The tray holds 150 sheets of paper. See “Type, Input Sources 
and Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and 
capacity of the tray.
Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about 
loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.7.

Using the Manual Tray
If you select Manual Feed in the Source option, you can 
manually load paper in the manual tray. Manually loading paper 
can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after 
each page is printed. 
If you experience a paper jam from the manual tray, load one 
sheet of paper at a time into the manual tray.
1Load the print material in the manual tray with the print 
side up
. 
Adjust the paper guide against the print material without 
bending the paper.
2When you print a document, you must select Manual Feed 
for 
Source from the software application, and then select 
the correct paper size and type. For details, see 
Software 
User’s Guide
.
3Press the Cancel button on the printer to start feeding.
Note: If you dont press the button after a pause, the paper will be 
automatically fed into the printer. 
4Printing is started. 
5If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet after 
the first page prints out, and press the 
Cancel button. 
Repeat this step for every page to be printed.
