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.
