3 Using Print Materials
This chapter describes the types of paper you can use with your
printer and how to properly load paper in the tray for the best
print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Choosing Paper and Other Materials
• Verifying the Output Location
• Loading Paper
• Printing on Special Print Materials
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:
•
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 tray.
•
Weight
: Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
-16~24 lbs bond(60~90 g/m
2
) for the tray
-16~43 lbs bond(60~163 g/m
2
) for the manual feed mode
•
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.
CAUTION
: Using a material that does not conform to the
specifications listed on page 8.3 can cause problems that may
require service. This service will not be covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
Type and Capacities
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.
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.
NOTES
:
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the
surface, and especially keep children away from the surface.
• The output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. Remove
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.
Using the Tray
Tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of plain A4 or lettersized paper. It can also hold 1 sheet of special material, such as
cards, envelopes, labels, and transparency.
To load paper, pull the tray and the load the paper
with the
print side up
.
For details about loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper”
on page 2.3.
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
If you select
Manual Feed
in the Source option, you can
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.
1
Load the print material in the tray
with the print side up
.
Adjust the paper guide against the print material without
bending the paper.
2
When you print a document, you must select
Manual
Feed
for Source from the software application, and then
select the correct paper size and type. For details, see
Software Section
.
3
Press the button on the printer to start feeding.
NOTE
: If you do not press the button after a pause, the paper
will be automatically fed into the printer.
4
Printing is started.
5
If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet
after the first page prints out, and press the button.
Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

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.
2
Load a sheet of envelope in the tray,
with the flap side
down
. The end of the envelope with the stamp area
enters the printer first.
3
Slide in the paper length guide until it lightly touches the
end of the paper stack.
4
Slide the paper width guide to the edge of the envelope
without causing it to bend.
CAUTION
: If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface
of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.
5
When you print, set the paper source to
Manual Feed
and the
paper type to
Envelope
, and select the appropriate size in the
software application. For details, see the
Software Section
.
6
Press the button on the printer to start feeding.
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.
To print on label:
1
Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it out to its full
length.
2
Load a sheet of label in the tray,
with the print side up
and the top, short edge in first
. Adjust the guides to fit
the length and width of the label.
3
When you print, set the paper source to
Manual Feed
and the
paper type to
Labels
, and select the appropriate size in the
software application. For details, see the
Software Section
.
4

Printing on Transparencies
• 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.
CAUTION
: It is not recommended to use paperbacked
transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam
or be scratched.
To print on transparency:
1
Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it out to its full
length.
2
Load a sheet of transparency in the tray,
with the print
side up and the top, short edge in first
. Adjust the
guides to fit the length and width of the transparency.
3
When you print, set the paper source to
Manual Feed
and
the paper type to
Transparency
, and select the
appropriate size in the software application. For details,
see the
Software Section
.
4
Press the button on the printer to start feeding.
Printing on Preprinted Paper
• 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.
To print on preprinted paper:
1
Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it out to its full
length.
2
Load letterhead in the tray,
with the print side up and
the top and short edge
first
. Adjust the guides to fit the
edge of the paper stack.
3
When you print, set the paper source to
Manual Feed
and
the paper type to
Preprinted
, and select the appropriate
paper size in the software application.
For details, see the
Software Section.

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.
To print on card stock:
1
Squeeze the paper length guide and slide it out to its full
length.
2
Load print material in the tray,
with the print side up
and the short edge first
. Adjust the guides to fit the
length and width of the material.
NOTE
: If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn
the paper around and try again.
