Loading paper in the multi purpose drawer
The method of loading paper into the multipurpose drawer is the same as for paper tray 1 described on page 2-2.
For specifications of paper, see page 2-3. When loading envelopes, postcards or transparency film, follow the
descriptions below.
Two maximum height lines are indicated: one for plain paper and one for special paper.

 How to change the paper size
To change the paper size or paper type when paper is loaded into the multi purpose drawer, refer to page 2-5 for
details.

 Setting envelopes or postcards
When setting envelopes or postcards in the multi purpose drawer, set them in the orientation shown below.
Loading postcards
Load postcards print side up to the rear left of the tray
as shown.
Loading envelopes
Envelopes can only be printed on the address side. Be
sure to place envelopes with the address side up and
the top of the envelope to the rear.
Printing onto envelopes or postcards
Attempting to print onto both sides of envelopes or postcards may result in misfeeds or poor prints.
Do not use paper that has already been printed on by a thermal transfer or inkjet printer. In particular, paper
that has been printed on by a thermal transfer printer (such as a word processor that uses a cassette) may
cause missing characters and smudges.
To avoid wrinkling, misfeeds or poor printing, make sure the postcard or envelopes stock is not curled.
Maximum height line for plain paper
Do not exceed this line when loading plain paper.
Maximum height line special paper (red line)
Do not exceed this line when loading special paper.

Printing onto envelopes
Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snaps, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive
patches or synthetic materials. Attempting to print on these may cause misfeeds, inadequate toner adherence or
other trouble.
Creases or smudging may occur. This is especially true of embossed surfaces and other irregular surfaces.
Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be
sealed closed when printed.
Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly printed or
may cause misfeeds.
Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers
When feeding envelopes from the multi purpose drawer, damage to the envelopes or smudges on prints may occur
even if envelopes within specification are used. In this case, the problem may be reduced by shifting the fusing unit
pressure adjusting levers from the normal position to the lower pressure position. Follow the procedure below.
1Unlatch the duplex module and slide it to
the left.
Unlatch the module and
gently move the module
away from the machine.
If the machine is not
equipped with a duplex
module, open the side
cover similarly.
2Lower the two fusing unit pressure
adjusting levers marked A and B in the
illustration.
3Gently close the duplex module.
If the machine is not
equipped with a duplex
module, close the side
cover.
NOTE
Be sure to return the lever to the normal position when finished feeding envelopes. If not, inadequate toner
adherence, paper misfeeds or other trouble may occur.
