Paper Usage Guidelines
The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other 
specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:
■Envelopes, thick card stock, and custom size paper can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) 
only.
■Fan paper, transparencies, 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. For Trays 2–5, the paper guides click into 
place when they are adjusted correctly.
■If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media 
can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
■Rough or porous media
■Plastic media other than supported transparencies
■Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
■Paper with staples
■Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
■Padded envelopes
■Non-laser glossy or coated paper
■Perforated media
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.
