Loading in manual feeder
The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print  media specifications" on page 105).
 
Tips on using the manual feeder
• Load only one type, size and weight of pr int media at time in the manual feeder.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing  when there is still paper in the manual feeder.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going in to the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load  the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 105).
• Flatten any curl on postcards,  envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.
• When printing on special media, you must follow the loadin g guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 45).
• When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder,  open tray and remove the papers then try printing again. 
• When paper does not feed well while printing, push the  paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically. 
• When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by press ing the power button before 
using the manual feeder.

To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.
If envelopes are printed out  with wrinkles, creases, or black bold lines, open the 
rear cover and try printing again. Keep the rear cove r opened during printing. 
• When selecting envelopes, cons ider the following factors:
- Weight:  should not exceed 90 g/m
2 otherwise; jams may occur.
- Construction: should lie flat with less th an 6 mm curl and should not 
contain air.
- Condition:  should not be wrinkled , nicked, nor damaged.
- Temperature:  should resist the heat an d pressure of the machine 
during operation.
• Use only well-constructed  envelopes with sharp and well-creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes. • Do not use envelopes with clasps, sn
aps, windows, coated lining, self-
adhesive seals, or ot her 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.
1  Acceptable
2  Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off ad hesive strip or with more than one flap that 
folds over to seal must  use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing 
temperature for 0.1 second about 170°C  (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips 
might cause wrinkling, cr easing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position  margins no closer than 15 mm from the 
edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area  where the envelope’s seams meet.

Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in 
laser printers.
• Must withstand the mach ine’s fusing temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after  removing them from the machine.
• Do not leave unused transpare ncies in the paper tray for long. Dust and dirt 
may accumulate on them, r esulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fing erprints, handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do no t expose printed transparencies to prolonged 
sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrin kled, curled, or have any torn edges.• Do not use transparencies that 
separate from the backing sheet.
• To prevent transparencies from sticking  to each other, do not let the printed 
sheets stack up as they  are being printed out. 
• Recommended media: Transparency for a  color laser printer by Xerox, such 
as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780 (Letter)

Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser 
printers.
• When selecting labels, cons ider the following factors:
- Adhesives:  Should be stable at your ma chine’s fusing temperature. 
Check your machine’s specificatio ns to view the fusing temperature 
(about 170°C (338°F)).
- 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:  Must lie flat with no more than  13 mm of curl in any direction. -
Condition:  Do not use labels with wrin kles, bubbles, or other 
indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no expo sed adhesive material between labels. 
Exposed areas can cause la bels 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 throug h the machine more than once. The 
adhesive backing is designed for on ly a single pass through the machine.
• Do not use labels that are  separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, 
bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

• In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) 
away from the edg es of the material.
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted pape r, the printed side should be facing up with an 
uncurled edge at the front.  If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn 
the paper around. Note that pr int quality is not guaranteed.
• Must be printed with heat-resistant in k that will not melt, vaporize, or 
release hazardous emissions when sub jected to the machine’s fusing 
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
• Preprinted paper ink must be non- flammable and should not adversely 
affect machine rollers.
• Before you load 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.
