*Only use index cards that are 0.18 mm to 0.28 mm thick.

Plain Paper

Follow these guidelines when selecting paper: ❏ Paper that is too thick or too thin, or that has irregular shapes, cutouts,

or perforations should not be used.

❏ Never use paper that is wet, highly textured, rough, torn, wrinkled, or

damaged.

❏ Extremely smooth paper or paper with special coatings does not print

well.

❏ The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the

paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at about 190˚ C (374˚ F).

Paper Handling

❏ Do not use thermal or carbon paper, or paper with glue, staples, clips,

or ribbons.

For colored paper, use colors that are not damaged by the heat of the printer’s ﬁxing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F).

Transparencies

The acceptable sizes are Letter or A4. The transparencies must be able to withstand the heat generated by the ﬁxing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F) without damage.

Chapter 2 Paper Handling 9

Labels

Labels are paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acceptable sizes are Letter and A4.

Note the following conditions when choosing a label sheet: ❏ The label print face (top, or face sheet) must be made of ordinary,

matte-ﬁnish paper similar to copy paper.

❏ The paper backing must be able to withstand the heat generated by the

ﬁxing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F). The backing must not be made of easily removable coated paper.

❏ Do not use labels with exposed adhesive, which may stick to the EP-

22 cartridge or the ﬁxing roller, causing the labels to peel off and serious paper jams to occur.

Envelopes

Follow these guidelines when printing on envelopes: ❏ Envelopes must not ha ve an y fasteners, snaps, or windo ws, or be made

of artiﬁcial materials.

❏ Do not use envelopes that discolor or melt at about 190˚ C (374˚ F),

envelopes which might emit dangerous fumes when heated, or envelopes that seal with pressure-sensitive adhesives.

❏ Do not use envelopes which are damaged, curled or wrinkled, or that

have an irregular shape.

❏ Do not use oversized envelopes, or envelopes with folds.

10 Paper Handling Chapter 2

Postcards

❏ Poorly manufactured envelopes are not recommended.

Paper Handling

Follow these guidelines when printing on postcards:

❏ Postcards should not be greater than 0.28 mm in thickness. ❏ Postcards should be free of glue, clips, and staples. ❏ Do not use postcards that are damaged or curled, or that have special

coatings or an irregular shape.

Chapter 2 Paper Handling 11

Storing Paper

Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper:

❏ Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity. ❏ Do not store paper directly on the ﬂoor as the ﬂoor is usually humid. ❏ If you must store paper in a very humid place, use a specially designed

storage box.

❏ Keep paper on a ﬂat surface to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl. ❏ Do not stack paper too high to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl. ❏ Do not subject paper to direct sunlight or a humid environment.

If paper is moved to a place with a very different temperature, leave it there for about one day before using it; otherwise it could curl or develop wrinkles.

12 Paper Handling Chapter 2

Paper Path

Understanding how paper travels inside the printer helps you better handle paper loading and jams.

A sheet of paper enters the printer from the MP tray or the manual feed slot. It travels to the image transfer area where the printer drum has been statically charged. A laser beam changes the static charge on the drum and toner clings to those parts of the drum. As the paper rolls across the drum, the toner transfers to the paper. The toner is then fused to the paper by the ﬁxing assembly. The paper either comes out from the face-up delivery slot or travels to the face-down delivery slot, depending on the paper delivery method selected.

Paper Handling

Chapter 2 Paper Handling 13

Selecting Paper Delivery

Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery. When the selector is in the lower position, face-up delivery is selected. When the selector is in the upper position, face-down delivery is selected.

Face-down

Face-up

Face-down Delivery

Use face-down delivery for plain paper only. Printouts are stacked in order in the face-down delivery slot (which can hold up to 100 sheets of

paper).

❏ Do not replace paper in the face-down deliv ery slot once it is remo v ed

from the slot. This could result in damage to the ﬂaps inside the slot.

❏ Never insert paper or other objects into the face-down delivery slot.

14 Paper Handling Chapter 2

Face-up Delivery

Use face-up delivery for envelopes and transparencies, as well as other special paper, including non-standard sized plain paper. Printouts come out from the face-up delivery slot face up. This helps prevent paper curl.

To select face-up delivery, push the paper delivery selector down.

❏ Do not pull on the printout while it is still emerging from the face-up

delivery slot.

Paper Handling

❏ Do not switch the paper delivery selector until the printout has

completely come out of the delivery slot. Switching the paper deli very selector while printing could cause a paper jam.

❏ Make sure there is enough room at the front of the printer for the paper

to exit.

Loading Paper into the MP Tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold up to approximately 125 sheets of 75 g/m

Legal, Letter, A4, Executive, and B5. It also accepts transparencies, envelopes, postcards, or special paper with a maximum height of

12.5 mm. Before loading paper on the MP tray, ﬁrst select the paper delivery. For

envelopes, transparencies, labels, and other special paper, face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and facedown deliv ery methods. Face-do wn deli very is limited to plain paper with
