Paper Usage Guidelines

The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:

■Use Tray 1 (MPT) for envelopes, thick card stock, and custom size paper.

■Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.

■Print envelopes, labels, and transparencies on one-side only.

■See Printing Envelopes on page 3-27for information on how to minimize wrinkling and embossing that may occur when printing envelopes.

■Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line indicated on the paper guide.

■Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper. For Trays 2–5, the paper guides click into place when they are adjusted correctly.

■Use paper or other approved media from a new package if excessive jams occur.
