Supported Paper and Media

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.
