Before loading paper into the paper trays, fan the edges. This procedure 
separates any sheets of paper that are stuck together and reduces the 
possibility of paper jams.

from its packaging until required.

paper trays are available, depending on your machine configuration.

Using the Bypass Tray
The bypass tray is located on the right side of your machine. It can be closed 
when not in use, making the product more compact. Use the bypass tray to 
print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making 
quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper 
tray. Acceptable print media is plain paper with sizes ranging from B5 - SEF 
to 11 x 14 (176 mm x 250 mm to 279 mm x356 mm) and weighing between 
16 lb and 24 lb (60 g/m

Media Specifications
Media Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes or other special media please 
adhere to these guidelines:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled or torn paper can cause paper 
jams and poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed 
lettering, perforations or texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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 it away from moisture or other 
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl. 
• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should 
be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Always use paper and other media that conform with the specifications 
detailed in Paper Supply on page 164.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds:
– DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
– DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive 
seals, or other synthetic materials.
– DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Only use the special media recommended for use in laser printers.
• To prevent special media such as transparencies and label sheets from 
sticking together, remove them from the exit tray as they are printed.
• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the 
machine.
• Do not leave the special media in the bypass tray for long periods of time. 
Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies and 
coated paper carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged 
sunlight.
• Store unused media at temperatures between 59
°F and 86°F (15°C to 
30
°C). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Do not load more than 20 sheets of transparencies or 10 envelopes into the 
Bypass Tray at a time.

• Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 
200oC (392oF) for 0.1 second.
• Ensure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. 
CAUTION: Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, 
which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage 
to machine components. 
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The 
adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are 
wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
