Loading Paper

This section explains how to load plain paper in the multi-purpose tray.
For complete details on paper and other print media for use with your machine, see
Chapter 5.
Before loading paper, be sure to read the following:
c
The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use
paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures
near 338°F (170°C). For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make
sure any letterhead or colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.
• Your machine supports regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, and typical letterhead
paper. It does not require special media. Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that
comes on a roll.
• Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your
machine (1 Chapter 5).
• The multi-purpose tray is factory-set for loading letter-size paper, but you can change
this setting to other paper sizes (1 p. 5-9).
• You can choose whether paper is delivered through the face-up or face-down delivery
slot (1 p. 5-7). Choose according to the print media and task you are performing.
• The face-down delivery slot can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of paper. To
prevent paper jams, remove paper from this slot before the count reaches 50.
• Do not load paper while the machine is printing.
• Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time since it
may bend or curl and cause problems.
• Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, can
cause some paper to misfeed in the multi-purpose tray. If you have trouble, feed one
sheet at a time.
• Take care not to drop any foreign objects into the multi-purpose tray.
• Avoid mixing new stock with paper
already loaded in the multi-purpose tray.
Adding new stock without removing the
paper already loaded will cause paper
jams. If you must add new stock, remove
the loaded paper and reload it together
with the new stock.
