Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer
system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating
a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your
system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval
Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device
in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.
Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your
printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the
wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is
allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should
be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device
and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include
xi
Page 13
extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from
the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common
restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment
on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also
known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen
or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the
applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the
wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.
Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a
wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless
device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields
are in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any
way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use
it. Please contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be
used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.
WARNING

USING PRINT MATERIALS
This chapter will help you understand types of paper you
can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in
the different paper trays for the best print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Choosing Paper and Other Materials
• Selecting the Output Location
• Loading Paper
• Printing on Envelopes
• Printing on Labels
• Printing on Transparencies
• Printing on Preprinted Paper
• Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Materials
Page 65
Choosing Paper and Other Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Paper
Specifications” on page F.3. To get the best possible print
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
-16~28 lbs (60~105 g/m
optional Tray2
-16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
• Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has
been fed through a photocopier.
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never
overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture
that is too smooth or too rough.
• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a coloured coating that
was added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heatresistant ink that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subject to the printer’s approximately 400°F
(205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Selecting the Output Location
The printer has two output locations; the rear output tray and
the top output tray.
Top output tray
Rear output tray
To use the top output tray, be sure that the rear output tray is
closed. To use the rear output tray, open it.
N
OTES
:
• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as
excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray
while the printer is printing.
4
Printing to the Top Output Tray
The top output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order.
The top output tray should be used for most print jobs.
N
OTE
:
If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface,
especially for children.
U
SING PRINT MATERIALS
(Face down)
4.5
Page 69
Printing to the Rear Output Tray
(Face up)
The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open.
Paper comes out of the printer face-up, with the last page on
top.
Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear output tray
provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray
might improve output quality with the following:
• over 100 sheets of paper continuously
• envelopes
• labels
• small custom-size paper
• postcards
• paper lighter than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb) or heavier than 105 g/m

Using the Multi-Purpose Tray
Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It can
be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more
compact.
Multi-Purpose Tray
The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of
paper, such as transparencies, cards and envelopes. You may
also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs
on letterheads, coloured paper for use as separator sheets, or
other special materials that you do not normally keep in the
paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain
paper, 10 envelopes, 50 transparencies, 10 card stocks or 25
labels at a time.

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the
Multi-Purpose Tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still
paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. This also applies to other
types of print materials.
• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge
going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and be placed on the
centre of the tray.
• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid
pressing down or applying excessive force on it. The tray may
fall apart from the printer.

loading envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray, make sure that
they are undamaged and are not stuck together.
• Do not feed stamped envelopes.
• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated
lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely

Printing on Labels
Guidelines
• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing
temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material
between the 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 feed a sheet of label through the printer more than
once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through
the printer.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet
or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Printing on Transparencies
Guidelines
• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser
printers.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have
any torn edges.
• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Oils deposited on the transparency can cause print
quality problems.
• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print
side.

Printing on Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed
on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).
Guidelines
• Letterheads 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 400 °F
(205 °C) for 0.1 second.
• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect any printer rollers.
• Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads,
verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing
process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

Load letterheads into the tray you want to use, as shown in
the figures below. Adjust the guides to fit the width of the
paper stack.

Guidelines
• Always insert the short-edge into the Multi-Purpose Tray first.
If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection
through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may
cause a paper jam.
• Do not load more than 10 cards into the Multi-Purpose Tray at
a time.
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3 in.) wide or
127 mm(5 in.) long.
