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:

•Envelopes and transparencies can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.

•Fan paper, transparencies, 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.

•All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.

•Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.

•Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of the paper guide.

•Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. For Trays 2–3, the paper guides click into place when they are adjusted correctly.

•If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.
