Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only 
transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be  able to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing 
temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them  from the machine.
• 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 machine, 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, the machine’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 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 machine components.
• Do 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.
• 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 media smaller than 98 mm wide 
or 148 mm long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 
6,4 mm away from the edges of the material.
Media typeGuidelines
Loading paper
In the tray
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 plain paper. 
1 Open the tray. Squeeze the paper length guide and pull it out to 
extend the tray.
2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to 
separate the pages before loading.
Preprinted 
paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant 
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release 
hazardous emissions when subjected to the 
machine’s fusing temperature of 180 °C 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.

3 Load the paper  with the side to be printed on facing up .
4 Squeeze the paper width guide and adjust it to the width of the 
paper.
5 Squeeze the paper length guide and adjust it to the length of the 
paper.
6 After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the tray. See 
page 5.7 for copying and faxing or the  Software Section for PC-
printing.
Notes
• Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause  the materials to warp.
• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause  paper jams.
In the manual tray
The manual tray can hold special size and type of print material, such as 
transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. The manual tray can 
hold 1 sheet of paper.
To load paper in the manual tray:
1 Load the paper  with the side to be printed on facing up .
2 Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper. 
Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in 
a paper jam or skew.
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 at the front. If you 
experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. 
Note that print quality is not guaranteed. 
Notes
Depending on the 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 machine first.
• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine  first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the  machine.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the  machine first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an  uncurled edge toward the machine.

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 other types of print media.
• 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.
• Flatten any curl on postcard, envelope, and label before loading it into  the manual tray.
