3Using Print Materials
This chapter describes the types of paper you can use with your 
printer and how to properly load paper in the tray for the best 
print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Choosing Paper and Other Materials
• Verifying the Output Location
• Loading Paper
• Printing on Special Print Materials
Choosing Paper and Other 
Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain 
paper, envelopes, labels, card stock, and so on. See “Printing 
on Special Print Materials” on page 3.3. To get the best possible 
print quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•
Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be 
appropriate for the project.
•
Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the 
paper adjusters of the tray.
•
Weight: Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
-16~24 lbs bond(60~90 g/m
2) for the tray
-16~43 lbs bond(60~163 g/m
2) for the manual feed mode
•
Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and 
produce sharper, more vibrant images. 
•
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects 
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the 
specifications listed on page 8.3 can cause problems that may 
require service. This service will not be covered by the 
warranty or service agreements.
Type and Capacities 
Guidelines for Paper and Special 
Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special 
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper 
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print 
quality. 
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load the tray while printing, and never overfill 
the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture 
that is too smooth or too rough.
• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white 
photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand the 
printer’s fusing temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) for 0.1 seconds 
without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a coloured coating 
that was added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous 
emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
• Store paper 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other 
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
NOTES: 
• Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. These types of 
paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off 
fumes, or cause damage to the printer.
• Sometimes damp paper produces steam during the fusing 
stage of printing.  This should not cause concern.

Verifying the Output Location
The printer has the output tray that collects paper face-down, 
in correct order.
NOTES:
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the 
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the 
surface, and especially keep children away from the surface.
• The output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. Remove 
the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.
Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures 
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the tray while a job is 
printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Type and 
Capacities” on page 3.1 for acceptable paper capacities for tray.
Using the Tray 
Tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of plain A4 or letter-
sized paper. It can also hold 1 sheet of special material, such as 
cards, envelopes, labels, and transparency.
To load paper, pull the tray and the load the paper 
with the 
print side up
.
For details about loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” 
on page 2.3. 
If you want to print on previously printed paper, the printed side 
should be facing up with the uncurled edge toward the printer. 
If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the 
paper around.
Using Manual Feed Mode
If you select Manual Feed in the Source option, you can 
manually load paper in the tray. Manually loading paper can be 
helpful when you want to check the print quality after each 
page is printed.
If you experience a paper jam from the tray, load one sheet of 
paper at a time into the tray.
1Load the print material in the tray with the print side up.
Adjust the paper guide against the print material without 
bending the paper.
2When you print a document, you must select Manual 
Feed
 for Source from the software application, and then 
select the correct paper size and type. For details, see 
Software Section.
3Press the   button on the printer to start feeding.
NOTE: If you do not press the button after a pause, the paper 
will be automatically fed into the printer.
4Printing is started.
5If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet 
after the first page prints out, and press the   button.
Repeat this step for every page to be printed.
