Paper Usage Guidelines
The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper or other specialty media. 
Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:
 • Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or 
adhesives with release strips.
• All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.
• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
• Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of 
the paper guide.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. The paper guides click into place when 
they are adjusted correctly.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Guidelines
The document feeder accommodates the following original sizes:
• Width: 148 –216 mm (4.1 in. – 8.5 in.)
• Length: 210 –355.6 mm (8.3 in. – 14 in.)
The weight range includes 50–125 g/m
2 (17–32 lb. Bond).
Follow these guidelines when loading originals into the document feeder:
• Load originals faceup so that the top of the document enters the feeder first.
• Place only loose sheets of paper in the document feeder.
• Adjust the paper guides so that they fit against the originals.
• Insert paper in the document feeder only when ink on the paper is completely dry.
• Do not load originals above the MAX fill line.
Document Glass
Use the document glass rather than the document feeder to copy or scan the following 
types of originals:
• Paper with paper clips or staples attached
• Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, tears, or notches
• Coated or carbonless paper or items other than paper such as cloth or metal
•Envelopes
Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
 • Rough or porous media
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with staples
• Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
• Padded envelopes

Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum 
print quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to 
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun 
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length 
of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier 
than outside walls where moisture can collect. 
• Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. 
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream 
wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in 
the bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside 
resealable plastic bags.
