shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.
12 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a
qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly
could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
13 Unplug the machine from the PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or
frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.
• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.
• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
14 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper

trays for the best print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Knowing an output location
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following
problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the printer
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Size: You can use any size print media that fits easily within the paper
adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:
- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 163 g/m
- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
Guidelines for special print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
the next column.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following print media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too
smooth or too rough
- Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.
• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical
smells, and damage to your printer.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15
o
C and 30o C
(59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and
70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.
• Load special print media types one sheet at a time through the
manual tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.
Type Guidelines
Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends
upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following
factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper
should not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb) or jamming
may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes
should lie flat with less than 6 mm
(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
- Temperature: You should use envelopes that
are compatible with the heat and pressure of
the printer during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp
and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps,
windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or
other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made
envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope
extends all the way to the corner of the
envelope.
Acceptable
CAUTION
: If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface
of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.
5.3 <
Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with
more than one flap that folds over to seal must
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s
fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F) for
0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might
cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may
even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no
closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges
of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the
envelope’s seams meet.

Type Guidelines
Type Guidelines
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies designed for use in laser
printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able
to withstand 180° C (356° F), the printer’s
fusing temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing
them from the printer.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long
periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate
on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,
handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed
transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,
curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing
temperature.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no
exposed backing between them. Labels can
peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with
no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any
direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,
bubbles, or other indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive
material between labels. Exposed areas can
cause labels to peel off during printing, which
can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can
also cause damage to printer components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer
more than once. The adhesive backing is
designed for only a single pass through the
printer.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
• Do not print on print media smaller than 76 mm
(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of
the material.
Preprinted
paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the
printer’s fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F)
for 0.1 second.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as
forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink
can come off preprinted paper, reducing print
quality.
Loading paper
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray.
The tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain
paper.
Using the standard tray
To load paper, open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed
on facing up.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face up. The top edge
of the sheet with the logo should be entered into the printer first.
Notes
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at
a time in the manual tray.
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should
be facing down with an uncurled edge enter the printer first. If
you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper
around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.
5.4 <
Loading print media>
Using the manual tray
The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as
transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. It is useful for single
page printing on special print media.
To load paper in the manual tray:
1 Load one sheet of paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
Depending on the print media type you are using, keep the
following loading guidelines:
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left
side.
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip
entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer
first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the
printer first.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer
first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an
uncurled edge entering the printer first.
Note
• For transparency, hold it by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality
problems.
2 Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper.
Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in
a paper jam or skew.
3 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the
software application. See the Software Section.
Tips on using the manual tray
• Load only one sheet of print media at a time in the manual tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in
the manual tray. This also applies to the standard tray.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the
manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems.
Using manual feed mode
You can manually load a sheet of print media in the manual tray if you
select Manual Feeder in the Source option from the Paper tab when
you change print settings to print a document. See the Software
Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check
the print quality after each page is printed.
Load paper sheet-by-sheet in the manual tray, send print data to print the
first page, and press the Cancel button on the control panel to print each
following page.
