Long Edge versus Short Edge
Because the printer takes media up to 12.9 inches wide (328 mm), letter, A4 and B5 size sheets
can be fed into the printer either long edge first or short edge first.
Long edge feed (LEF) is the printer default and provides faster throughput than short edge feed.
For example, for letter size media:
 Long Edge feed: 11-inch edge of the media feeds into the printer:
29
 Short Edge feed: 8.5-inch edge of the media feeds into the printer:
Note: Long versus short edge feed has no impact on whether the document is printed on the
sheet in portrait or landscape format. Portrait/landscape printing is determined by your
software application.

Storing Paper
If paper is stored improperly, print quality could be affected.
 Store paper in a dark, dry place such as a closet or a cabinet.
 Don't open the package until you are ready to use it.
 Always store paper lying flat or it may curl.
 Store your paper in a static-free environment.
 Ideally, store paper at a constant temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) with less than 50%
humidity.
Note: Discard the top sheet from each ream of paper before loading it into the paper tray—it
may be contaminated with glue or dust.

Multi-Purpose Tray
Use the Multi-Purpose Tray to print on special media without having to change the paper you
have loaded in the tray(s). You can print multiple pieces of media or you can use the MultiÂPurpose Tray as a manual feed unit to print individual pieces "on-the-fly."
Important! Always use the straight-through exit when feeding media from the multi-
purpose feeder. This eliminates curling, and for labels, it eliminates peeling.
You can use the Multi-Purpose Tray to print on the following media:
 Standard Paper (up to 100 sheets of 20-lb. paper), usually a paper that is different from
the paper loaded in the tray(s): e.g., letterhead, different size, different color, etc.
