PER 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.
Specifications are quoted using standard weight 20 – 24 lb (75 – 90
g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Print
speed and media paths can vary when using thick and specialty
media. Suitable types for all media paths are:
> OKI® Bright White, 32 lb US Bond
> HammerMill® Laser Print Radiant, White, 24 lb US Bond
> Xerox® 4024, 20lb US Bond
Continuous 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 should be carefully checked for
fuser heat compatibility.
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. Suitable types are:
> Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or
5161 (Letter)

Tray 1 or MP
Tray
Face-up Stacker
Tray 1 is the standard blank paper input tray and can hold up to 530
sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²) paper. Additional trays, to give a total of
four, can be added as an option to give a total tray capacity of 2120
sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²) paper.
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (for example
Tray 2 or the MP Tray), you can have the printer automatically
switch to that other tray when the current tray runs out of paper.
This function can be enabled by driver settings when printing from a
Windows application or by a menu setting when printing from other
applications.
MP
TRAY
The multi-purpose tray is used for media sizes additional to those of
the standard trays, heavier media weights and special media.
The multi-purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the standard
trays but in weights up to 330 g/m². For very heavy paper stock use
the face-up paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through
the printer is almost straight.
The multi-purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 3in
(76.2 mm) and lengths up to 47.24 in (1200 mm). For banner
printing, recommended sizes are Letter wide, 35.43 in and 47.24 in
long and weight 34 lb (128 g/m²).
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and
transparencies. Up to 100 sheets of transparencies or 25 envelopes
can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of
1 in.
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge
into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function
for transparencies.

ACE-DOWN STACKER
The face-down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 500
sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²) standard paper, and can handle paper
stocks from 17 – 57 lb (64 – 216 g/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 should be opened and the tray extension pulled
out when required for use. (With the face-up stacker either open or
closed, the driver setting of Face Down will successfully direct prints
to the Face-Down stacker.)
The face-up stacker can hold up to 250 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²)
standard paper and can handle stocks up to 330 g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi-purpose feeder for paper
stocks heavier than 57 lb (216 g/m²).
