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 220g/m² media.

APER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and
sizes, transparencies 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. A suitable type is Color Copy by Mondi Business paper.
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 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.
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. In
particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These
will melt in the fuser and cause damage.
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 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 16.)

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up
to 220
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 1220mm (banner printing).
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm and lengths up to
1200mm (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 and transparencies. Up to 50 sheets
of transparencies or 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum
stacking depth of 10mm.
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge into the printer. Do
not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function.
F
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).
g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures
ACE DOWN STACKER
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 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle
stocks up to 220g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than
188g/m².
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 - 120g/m².
NOTE:
The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

4.Adjust the rear stopper (a) and paper guides (b) to the size of paper being used.
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.
> Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described below for the
2nd tray).
CAUTION!
IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (c) to the size of paper being used
(A4 in the above example).
> Close the paper tray gently.

> 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
350 sheets, 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.).
