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
• Using the output support
  
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.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are 
i

mportant 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  57.)
• 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 result s. This may be the result of 
improper handling, unacceptable te mperature and humidity levels, 
or other variables over which cannot be controlled.
• Befo
re purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it 
meets the requirements  specifications in this user’s guide and 
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.
• Using
 inflammable print media can cause a fire.
•Use desig
 nated print media (See  Printing on special media on 
page  28 ).
 
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.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type 
use

 If you experience problems with paper feeding, check whether the 
paper meets the media specification. (See  Print media 
specifications on page  57 .)
Manual tray
The manual 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 tray
• If you select  Manual Feeder  for Source  from your software 
application, you need to press 
 (cancel button) each time you print 
a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a 
t
ime in the manual tray.
• To pre
vent paper jams, do not add paper while printing. This also 
applies to other types of print media.
• Pri
nt media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into 
the manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always loa
 d the specified print media only to avoid paper jams and 
print quality problems. (See  Print media specifications on page  57 .)
• Fla
tten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading 
them into the manual tray.

- 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(3 38 °F)) for 0.1 second. The extra 
flaps and strips might cause wrinkli ng, creasing, or jams, and may even 
damage the fuser.
• For the best print qual
 ity, position margins no closer than 15  mm from 
th
e edges of the envelope.
• Avo
id printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use on ly transparencies designed for use 
in laser printers.
 In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality would 
be lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on the  overhead projector.
•
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 in  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 fingerprints, handle them 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 separates 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 use in laser 
machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adh
esives:  The adhesive material should be stable at your 
ma
chine’s fusing temperatur e (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 
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. 
Exposed areas can cause labels to  peel off during printing, which can 
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to 
machine components.
• D
o not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The 
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the 
machine.
• D
o not use labels that are separa ting from the backing sheet or are 
wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

							Media and tray_ 30
Card stock/Custom-sized paper
Postcards, cards and other custom-sized  materials can be printed with this 
machine.
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm 
(5.00 inches) long.
• In
 the software application, set margins at least 6.4  mm (0.25 inches) 
away fro
m the edges of the material.
• If me
dia weight is over 160 g/m2 (43 lb), try printing in the rear cover 
(face up).
Letterhead/Preprinted paper
Single-sidedDouble-sided
Tray1 Face downFace up
Manual trayFace upFace down
•Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be pr inted with heat-resistant ink that 
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected 
to the machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F)) for 0.1 
second. 
• Letterhea
 d/ Preprinted paper ink mu st be non-flammable and should not 
adversely affect machine rollers.
• Forms and
  letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to 
prevent changes during storage.
• Before you loa
 d letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the 
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted 
paper, reducing print quality.

Using the output support
 The surface of the output tray ma y become hot if you print a large 
number of pages at once. Make  sure that you do not touch the 
surface, and do not allow children near it.
The printed pages stack on the output  suppo
 rt, and the output support will 
help the printed pages to align. The pr inter sends output to the output tray 
by default. To use the output tray, ma ke sure that the rear cover is closed.
