Paper and Other Media
Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and
cause a paper misfeed.
❒ When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with
the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause
them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
❒ Set the paper as described below
• Tray 1, Tray 2: Print side facing up
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing down
• Paper Feed Unit (Option): Print side facing down
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales
or service representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing Paper
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations
are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.

Additional cautions • Check the print side is facing up.
• Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading.
• For better print quality, we recommend the right, left, top, and
bottom print margins to be at least 15 mm (0.6”) each.
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• When loading envelopes, be sure to unfold the flaps and position them opposite to the paper feed direction.
• Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge
going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across them.
• Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or
print poorly.
• Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to
check print quality.
