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 Tray, the paper path through the printer is
essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in
the paper path and makes paper feeding more reliable.

Media Types
Paper
The best performance is obtained when using paper designed for
use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable ty pes include:
• Hammermill
g/m²)
• Xerox
®
• Oki
52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US Bond
(120 g/m
Recommendations
• Check http://my.okidata.com for the latest information on
recommended papers for your printer.
• Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat sources.
• The use of heavily laid or textured p aper will seriously affe ct the
life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print quality
can be improved by changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’
However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the
duplex option.

– Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or paper
that has a large grain difference between the two sides.
– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.
– Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive
paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.
Media Recommendations • 11
Envelopes
YesNo
• Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302:
see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media“ in your Handy Reference
Guide for more information).
• Envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct
sunlight and heat sources.
• Don’t use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
• Don’t use damp, damaged or curled envelopes.
CAUTION
