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
o C and 30o C 
(59o F to 86o F). 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.
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 of 180° C (356° 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 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.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
CAUTION: If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface 
of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

5.4   
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only 
transparencies designed for use in laser 
printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able  to withstand 180° C (356° F), the printer’s 
fusing temperature.
• 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 carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed 
transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,  curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels  designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following  factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing 
temperature.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no  exposed backing between them. Labels can 
peel off sheets that have spaces between the 
labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with  no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any 
direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,  bubbles, or other indications 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 printer components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer 
more than once. The adhesive backing is 
designed for only a single pass through the 
printer.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the  backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or 
otherwise damaged.
Card stock or 
custom-sized 
materials • Do not print on print media smaller than 76 mm 
(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least  6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of 
the material.

Loading paper
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray. 
The tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain 
paper. 
Using the standard tray
To load paper, open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed 
on facing up.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face up. The top edge 
of the sheet with the logo should be entered into the printer first. Preprinted 
paper
• Letterhead 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 180° C (356° F) 
for 0.1 second.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and  should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a 
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes 
during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as 
forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the 
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink 
can come off preprinted paper, reducing print 
quality.
Notes
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the manual tray.
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should  be facing down with an uncurled edge enter the printer first. If 
you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper 
around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

Using the manual tray
The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as 
transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. It is useful for single 
page printing on special print media. 
To load paper in the manual tray:
1 Load one sheet of paper  with the side to be printed on facing up .
Depending on the print media type you are using, keep the 
following loading guidelines:
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left  side.
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip  entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer  first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the  printer first.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer  first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an  uncurled edge entering the printer first.
Note
• For transparency, hold it by the edges and avoid touching the  print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality 
problems.
2 Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper. 
Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in 
a paper jam or skew.
3 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the 
software application. See the  Software Section. 
Tips on using the manual tray
• Load only one sheet of print media at a time in the manual tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in 
the manual tray. This also applies to the standard tray.
• Print 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 load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper  jams and print quality problems.
Using manual feed mode
You can manually load a sheet of print media in the manual tray if you 
select  Manual Feeder  in the Source  option from the  Paper tab when 
you change print settings to print a document. See the  Software 
Section . Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check 
the print quality after each page is printed. 
Load paper sheet-by-sheet in the manual tray, send print data to print the 
first page, and press the  Cancel button on the control panel to print each 
following page.

This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the 
toner cartridge.
This chapter includes:
• Cleaning the printer
• Maintaining the toner cartridge
• Printing a configuration page
• Maintenance parts
Cleaning the printer
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can 
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality 
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. 
Cleaning the outside of the printer
Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can 
dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water 
drip onto or into the printer.
Cleaning the inside of the printer
1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer 
to cool down.
2 Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a 
clean flat surface.
Caution
• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials 
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong 
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Caution
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to 
light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of 
paper, if necessary. 
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner  cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.

3 Pull the manual tray out.
4 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from 
the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
5 Gently swab the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the 
cartridge and check for dirt or dust.
Caution
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to reach 
too far into the printer. The fuser area may be hot.
Note
• The long strip of glass is hard to locate.
6 Reinsert the manual tray.
7 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the 
cartridge into the opening in the printer. 
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves 
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position 
until it locks into place completely.

Maintaining the toner cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in 
mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for 
use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover  damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for  more than a few minutes.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print 
jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner 
cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge 
supplied with the printer lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual 
number may also be different depending on the print density of the 
pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by 
operating environment, printing interval, print media type, and print 
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the 
cartridge more often.
Redistributing toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life span:
• White streaks and light printing occur.
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer.
•The  Error LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by 
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white 
streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed 
the toner.
1 Open the front cover.
2 Pull the toner cartridge out.
3Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner 
evenly inside the cartridge. 
4 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the 
cartridge into the opening in the printer. 
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves 
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position 
until it locks into place completely.
5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Caution
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fuser area may be 
hot.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to  light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of 
paper, if necessary. 
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner  cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.
Caution
• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
Note
• At this stage, if you need to replace the toner cartridge, see 
page 8.4.
