Do not fan transparencies. Note Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.

How do I autoduplex? You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to successfully duplex (double-sided) the job. Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex (double-sided) printing.
With autoduplexing, the back side is printed first, and then the front side is printed. Output Tray All printed media is output to the face-down output tray on top of the printer. This tray has a capacity of approximately 250 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m (22 lb) paper.
When the optional staple finisher is installed, job separation, offset and staple printing can be performed. For the installation procedure, refer to “Staple Fin- isher” on page 268. Settings can be specified for job separation, offset and staple printing by selecting MENU Use the following paper with job separation, offset and staple printing.
Offset Printing If offset printing is selected, the paper is fed out shifted as shown below. When PAPER MENU/COLLATE in sets as shown below. - When COLLATE Staple printing Pages are stapled and fed out by job or by copy set as shown below. Page in the portrait orientation are stapled in the upper-left corner.
How do I store media? Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding. If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack- aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
