Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:
1 Read and understand all instructions.
2 Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the
literature accompanying the machine.
15 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC
power for the duration of the lightning storm.
16 If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray
may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children
away from the surface.
17 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
4 If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information,
heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the
operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your
sales or service representative for assistance.
5 Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
6 Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may
fall, causing serious damage.
7 Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater,
air conditioner or ventilation duct.
8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your machine
where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

Choosing Paper and Other Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain
paper, envelopes, labels, card stock, and so on. See “Printing
on Special Print Materials” on page 3.3. To get the best possible
print quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•

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 with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load the tray while printing, and never overfill
the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture
that is too smooth or too rough.
• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand the
printer’s fusing temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) for 0.1 seconds
without deteriorating. 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 does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
• Store paper 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Using Print Materials
NOTES:
• Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. These types of
paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off
fumes, or cause damage to the printer.
• Sometimes damp paper produces steam during the fusing
stage of printing. This should not cause concern.
Verifying the Output Location
The printer has the output tray that collects paper face-down,
in correct order.
If you want to print on previously printed paper, the printed side
should be facing up with the uncurled edge toward the printer.
If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the
paper around.
Using Manual Feed Mode
NOTES
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the

the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.
Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the tray while a job is
printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Type and
Capacities” on page 3.1 for acceptable paper capacities for tray.
If you select
manually load paper in the tray. Manually loading paper can be
helpful when you want to check the print quality after each
page is printed.
If you experience a paper jam from the tray, load one sheet of
paper at a time into the tray.

Printing on Special Print Materials
Printing on Envelopes
• Only use envelopes recommended for your printer. Before
loading envelopes in the 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
linings, or self-stick adhesives.
To print on envelope:
1
Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it out to its full
length.

Printing on Labels
• Only use labels recommended for your printer.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) for 0.1 seconds.
• 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.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet
or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.
• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the
printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

Printing on Transparencies
Printing on Preprinted Paper
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
• Do not leave them in the 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 and
coated paper carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.

• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on
it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).
• 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 seconds.
• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in 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 of preprinted paper,
reducing the print quality.

Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Materials
• Postcards, 3in by 5in (index) cards, and other custom-sized
materials can be printed with your printer. The minimum size
is 3in by 5in (76mm by 127mm) and the maximum size is
8.5in by 14in (216mm by 356mm).
• Always insert the short edge into the tray first. If you want
to print in landscape mode, make this selection using your
software. Inserting these materials long edge first may
cause a paper jam.
• Do not print on material smaller than 3in (76mm) wide or
5in (127mm) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 4mm away
from the edges of the material.
