Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, printed side should be facing down with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
•
Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not
melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the
machine's fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine's
specification to view the fusing temperature. (See "General
specifications" on page 129.)
•
Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.
•
Forms should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent
changes during storage.
•
Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper,
reducing print quality.

After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the

SELECTING AN OUTPUT LOCATION
The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large
number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the
surface, and do not allow children near it.
The machine has two output locations: the rear door (face up) and the
output tray (face down).
The machine sends output to the output tray by default. To use the output
tray, make sure that the rear door is closed.
•
If paper coming out of the output try has problems, such as
excessive curl, try printing to the rear door.
•
To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the
machine is printing.
Printing to the output tray
The output tray collects printed paper face down, in the order in which the
sheets were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.
