Paper Recommendations
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a
range of paper weights and sizes, labels and envelopes. This
section provides general advice on choice of media, and
explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard 2024 lb. US Bond (75-90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers
and laser printers.
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not
recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not
offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the
printing process.
Envelopes
CAUTION!
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other
deformations. They should also be of the
rectangular flap type, with glue that remains
intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing
used in this type of printer. Window envelopes
are not suitable.
Labels
CAUTION!
Labels should also be of the type recommended
for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the
base carrier page is entirely covered by labels.
Other types of label stock may damage the
printer due to the labels peeling off during the
printing process.

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd
tray if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can set the
printer to automatically switch to the other tray when the
current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows
applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings.
When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in
the Print Menu. (See page 33.)
15 – C330/C530 Paper Recommendations
Multi Purpose Tray ______________
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as trays 1 and
2 but in weights up to 58 lb. US Bond (220
paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures
that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths from 3 inches
(76 mm) to 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) and lengths from 5 inches
(127 mm) to 52 inches (1320 mm) (banner printing).
For paper lengths exceeding Legal 14-inch (356 mm) use paper
stock between 28 lb. US Bond (90 g/m²) and 32 lb. US Bond
(128 g/m²) and the face up (rear) paper stacker.
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and labels.
Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a
maximum stacking depth of about 3/8-inch (10 mm).
g/m²). For very heavy
Face Down Stacker ______________

150 sheets of 21 lb. US Bond (80 g/m²) standard paper, and can
handle paper stocks up to 47 lb. US Bond (176 g/m²).
Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in
reading order (last page on top, facing down).
Face Up Stacker_________________
The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened
and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this
condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver
settings.
The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 21 lb. US Bond
(80 g/m²) standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 58 lb.
US Bond (220 g/m²).
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper
stocks heavier than 47 lb. US Bond (176 g/m²).
Duplex ________________________
Automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes
as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks
from 17-47 lb. US Bond (64-176 g/m²).

19 – C330/C530 Loading Paper
5. Gently insert the paper tray in the printer.
To prevent paper jams:
• Do not leave space between the paper and the guides
and rear stopper.
• Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the
type of paper stock.
• Do not load damaged paper.
• Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same
time.
• Close the paper tray gently.
20 – C330/C530 Loading Paper
• Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as
described below for the 2nd tray).
Notes
• If you have two trays and you are printing from
the 1st (upper) tray, you can pull out the 2nd
(lower) tray during printing to reload it. However,
if you are printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do
not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will cause a
paper jam.
• For face down printing, make sure the face up
(rear) stacker (a) is closed (the paper exits from
the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is
approximately 150 sheets, depending on paper
weight.
• For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear)
stacker is open and the paper support
extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and
tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets of 20-
lb. US Bond (75 g/m2) paper.
