–Up to 230 sheets of 80 g/m2 (21 lb) paper.
–Up to 200 sheets of 90 g/m2 (24 lb) paper.
LPlease refer to page 81 for information on recording paper.
LThe unit is set for printing letter-size paper by default. If you want to use A4 or legal-size paper, change the setting (feature #380 on page 51).
Note for recording paper:
LWe recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before purchasing large quantities.
LDo not use the following types of paper:
–Paper with cotton and/or fiber content that is over 20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for resumes
–Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured
–Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper
–Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs or staples
–Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains
–Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolor, scorch or emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C (392 °F), such as vellum paper. These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
–Moist paper
–Inkjet paper
LSome paper is designed to be printed on only one side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you are not happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding
occurs.
LFor proper paper feeding and best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.
LDo not use paper of different types or thicknesses at the same time. This may cause paper jams.
L Avoid double-sided printing.
LDo not use paper printed from this unit for doublesided printing with other copiers or printers. This may cause paper jams.
LTo avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.
LFor customers who live in high humidity areas: Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned room at all times. If you print using moist paper, it may cause paper jam.

You can print documents, scan documents, receive faxes or send faxes using a computer connected to the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the unit.
Important:
LConsult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
2.10.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server
Your situation:
–When only one unit is connected to the LAN.
If your network administrator manages the network with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.
1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the computer, connect the power cord.
L The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be set automatically.
2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 23 for details.
Note:
LYou can connect two or more units and assign IP addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we recommend assigning static IP addresses manually for each unit to avoid unnecessary trouble.
2.10.2 Setting up manually
Your situation:
–When your network administrator does not manage the network with a DHCP server.
–When two or more units are connected to the LAN.
You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually.

3. Printer
3.1.1 Printing on special media
You can print not only on plain paper but also on special media (transparencies / labels / envelopes).
LPlease refer to page 81 for information on recording paper.
To print on transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
3M® CG3300/CG5000
LLoad transparency sheets one page at a time for printing, print-side down.
LRemove each transparency after printing and place it on a flat surface to cool and to prevent it from curling.
LDo not re-use transparencies that have already been fed through the unit. This includes transparencies that have been fed through and ejected without being
printed on.
LSome types of transparencies have instructions recommending which side to print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing on the other side of a new transparency.
To print on labels
Use labels designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
Avery® 5160/5161/5162/5163/5164/5165/5167/5168
XEROX® LWH100/LWH110/LWH120/LWH130/LWH140
LLoad label sheets one page at a time for printing, print-side down.
L Remove each label after printing.
LDo not use the following types of labels:
–Labels that are wrinkled, damaged or separated from the backing sheet.
–Any sheet of labels that has spaces in it where some of the labels have been removed.
–Labels that do not completely cover the backing sheet as follows.
To print on envelopes
Use envelopes designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
–High quality envelopes of 90 g/m2 (24 lb) paper,
–Envelopes that have thin, sharply creased leading edges,
–Envelopes that have diagonal seams, and
–Envelopes with a moisture content of 4 % to 6 % by weight.
LYou can load 10 envelope of 90 g/m2 (24 lb) paper at a time for printing, print-side down.
LInsert envelopes, print-side down (1), then adjust the recording paper guides (2).
1
2
L Remove each envelope after printing.
Note:
L Wrinkles and waving may occur in some cases, even if high quality envelopes are used.
L Avoid printing in high humidity. High humidity may cause the envelope to curl or seal the envelope.
LStore envelopes away from moisture and humidity, where they can lay flat and their edges will not be bent or damaged.
Do not use envelopes with any of the following characteristics (using these may result in paper jams):
L Irregularly shaped envelopes
LEnvelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dogears or other damage
L Envelopes with side seam construction
LHighly textured envelopes, or envelopes with extremely shiny surfaces
L Envelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip L Envelopes with more than one flap to be sealed L Self-adhesive envelopes
L Envelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased L Embossed envelopes
L Envelopes that have previously been printed on L Envelopes that include cotton and/or fiber material
