Print Media Usage Guidelines
The printer tray accommodates most sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow these
guidelines when loading paper and media in the tray:
•
Envelopes can be printed from the single sheet feeder (SSF) and standard 250-sheet tray.
•
Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
•
Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
•
Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with
release strips.
•
Print all envelopes single-sided only.
•
Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
•
Do not overload the paper tray. Do not load print media above the fill line on the inside of the
paper width guides.
•
Adjust the paper width guides to fit the paper size.
•
If excessive jams or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.
WARNING:
•
Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.
When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.
