Introduction > 12
When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the
printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used
in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is
essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper path and
enables feeding of up to 250g/m² media.

P
APER 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 75~90g/m² paper designed
for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:
> M-Real Data Copy Everyday 80g/m²
> Color Copy by Mondi 90g/m²
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery
CAUTION!
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing
process.
Continued use of pre-printed stationery may cause the paper feed
performance to degrade over time and paper jams may occur.
Clean the paper feed rollers as described on page 60.
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.
Recommended type is Avery White Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter).

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd or 3rd 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 “Menu functions” on page 22.)
M
ULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up
to 250
g/m². For very heavy 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 76mm to 215.9mm and lengths from
127.0mm to 1320mm (banner printing).
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 90g/m² and
128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes. Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded at
one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of 10mm.
F
ACE DOWN STACKER
C610: The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 250 sheets of
80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 188g/m².
C711: The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 350 sheets of
80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 188g/m².
Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on
top, facing down).
F
ACE 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 shee ts of 80g/m² st andard paper, and can handl e
stocks up to 250
g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than
188g/m².
Paper recommendations > 15
D
UPLEX UNIT
This option provides 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 64 - 220g/m².
NOTE:
The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

> Adjust the rear stopper (a) and paper guides (b) to the size of paper being used.
CAUTION!
C711 ONLY: IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (c) to the size of paper
being used (A4 in the above example).
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.
Loading paper > 18
> Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described below for the
2nd tray).
NOTE
> 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 250 sheets for the C610 and 350 sheets for the C711,
depending on paper weight.
> For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (a) is open and
the paper support (b) is extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and
tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.
> Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card stock, etc.).
