Note

Do not allow media to go above the fill limit mark inside the tray or the media may not be fed correctly.

Media Storage

Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it.

If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging and store in a cool, dark place.

When storing media, avoid

■ Moisture, excess humidity
Keep media between 30% to 65% relative humidity. Toner does not adhere well to moist or wet paper
On the other hand, media that has been stored for a long time without staying in its packaging may dry up too much and also cause jamming.
■ Direct sunlight
■ Excess heat (up to 35^ C/ 95^ F)
■ Dust
■ Leaning against other objects or placed in an upright position

Before purchasing a large quantity or special media, do a trial printing with the same media and check the print quality.

Media Not Suitable for Printing

Note

Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print quality, media jams, or damage to the printer. Also, using them will void your warranty.

■ Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, digitally gloss-coated media, colored paper that has been treated)
■ Carbon backed
■ Iron-on transfer media (heat-sensitive paper, heat-pressure paper, heat-press transfer paper)
■ Cold water transfer paper
■ Pressure sensitive
■ Special media designed specifically for inkjet printers (superfine paper, glossy paper, glossy film, postcards, etc.)
■ Media that has already been printed with
— An inkjet printer
- A monochrome or color laser printer or copier
- A heat-transfer printer
— Another printer or fax machine
■ Wet (or damp)
■ Layered
■ Adhesive
■ Folded, creased, curled, embossed, warped, or wrinkled
■ Perforated, three-hole punched, or torn
■ Too slick, too coarse, too textured
■ Different in texture (roughness) on the front and back
■ Too thin or too thick
■ Stuck together because of static electricity
■ Composed of foil or gilt; too luminous
■ Heat sensitive or cannot withstand the fusing temperature (205°C/401°F)
Irregularly shaped (not rectangular or not cut at right angles)
■ Attached with glue, tape, paper clips, staples, ribbons, hooks, or buttons
Acidic
■ Any other media that is not approved

Use media that is

■ Suitable for plain-paper laser printers, such as standard paper

What Is the guaranteed imageable (printable) area?

Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

Loading Media

How do I refill Tray 1?

Refill the tray only when it is completely empty.

1 Squeeze the right paper guide and open the paper guides.

Printing on Media

How do I load and print custom media?

Do not use custom media that does not have approved dimensions

■ Width: 76 mm (3 in.) up to 216 mm (8.5 in.)
■ Length: 127 mm (5 in.) up to 356 mm (14 in.)

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select plain paper.
2 Set the media size (Paper tab/Original Document Size/Edit Custom...)
3 Load the custom media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
4 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the custom media.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

5 Print the custom media.

How do I load and print envelopes?

Before printing on envelopes, we recommend printing a test page. If the print result is not oriented as desired, select Rotated (Paper tab/Orientation option).

Do not use envelopes that have

■ Sticky flaps
■ Tape seals, metal objects, paper clips, fasteners, or peel-off strips for sealing
■ Transparent windows
■ Rough surface
■ Material that will melt, vaporize, or emit dangerous fumes
■ Been presealed

Use envelopes that are

■ Common office envelopes with diagonal joints, sharp folds and edges, and ordinary gummed flaps
■ Approved for laser printing
Dry

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Envelope.
2 Select the size of the envelope (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners.
4 Flex the envelope stack (including the edges) to remove any stiffness.
5 Correct any bent corners, and tap the envelopes on a flat surface to align them.
6 Squeeze the right paper guide and open the paper guides.

Note

Print envelopes on the front address side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of three layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these layered regions may be lost or faded.

8 Recheck the paper guides to make sure they are adjusted to the width of the envelopes.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

9 Print the envelopes.

10 Open the flap of each envelope immediately (before it cools) after the envelope is delivered to the output tray.

Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed area on the flaps may seal. Using envelopes with emulsion-based glue avoids this problem.

How do I load and print labels?

A label consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and a carrier sheet:

■ The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.
■ The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhesive should come through on the surface.

You can print continuously with label paper. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous print and print one sheet at a time.

Format label data within your application. Try printing your data on a plain sheet of paper first to check placement. Check your application documentation for other information on printing labels.

Do not use label sheets that

■ Have labels that easily peel off Labels may stick to the fuser, causing them to peel off and media jams to occur.

Are precut

Do not use

Three vertical columns of empty rectangular boxes, no text or symbols present

Grid of empty rectangular boxes arranged in 4x4 pattern (no text or symbols)

Blank grid pattern with no text, numbers, or symbols

OK to use

Empty white square with a thin black border (no text or symbols)

Full page labels (uncut)

Use label sheets that are

■ Recommended for laser printers

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Thick Paper.
2 Select the size of the label (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Load the label media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
4 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the label media.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

5 Print the labels.

How do I load and print postcards?

Do not use postcards that are

Coated
■ Warped or bent
■ Designed for inkjet printers
■ Multicolored
■ Preprinted or multicolored (may result in printer jamming)

Use postcards that are

■ Postcards (100 × 148 mm/3.9 × 5.8 in.) recommended for laser printers

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Postcard.

2 Select the size of the postcard (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).

3 Place the postcards on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners.
4 Remove any media in Tray 1.
5 Load the postcard media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
6 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the postcards.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

7 Print the postcards.

How do I load and print thick stock?

Test all thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image does not shift.

Do not use thick stock that is

■ Mixed with any other media in the media trays (as this will cause printer jamming)

Note

Do not mix thick stock with any other media in the same tray, as this will cause printer jamming.

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Thick Paper.
2 Select the size of the stock (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Load the thick stock media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
4 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the thick stock.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

5 Print the thick stock.

How do I load and print transparencies?

Note

Using unsupported transparency media such as coated color transparencies will result in damaging the printer and in voiding your warranty.

Remove transparency media as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup.

If you touch the face of transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected. Do not handle transparency media too much.

You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing environment. If you have problems loading a large number of transparencies at a time, try loading only 1–10 sheets.

Do not use transparencies that

■ Are coated, such as transparencies designed for color printers or copiers
■ Have static electricity that will cause them to stick together

Use transparencies that are
