Selecting and loading media
Your printer can accept a wide range of paper or card stock weights, but materials either too light or too heavy can
cause paper handling and print quality problems. Heavier weight materials can cause fusing problems because of the
mass of material the fuser must heat quickly. Heavy materials may also feed less reliably or skew because of their weight
or stiffness. Lighter materials can wrinkle or jam.
When you use preprinted forms, make sure the ink on the forms can withstand the printer fuser temperature of 200°C
(392°F); otherwise, you risk contaminating the printer or creating hazardous fumes.
When you select the correct Paper Type (Normal, Rough Paper, Card Stock, Transparency, Labels) from MarkVision
Professional, your printer automatically optimizes print quality and toner adhesion.
Feed labels, card stock, transparencies, and envelopes from Tray 1 or the manual feed slot. Reserve Tray 2 for 20–24 lb
bond paper. Do not load labels together with other media in the same paper tray; combining different print media can
cause feeding problems. To avoid curl, do not leave labels in the tray overnight.
When feeding labels from Tray 1, push the label lever to the left. When printing on other media, push the lever to the
right.
To improve feed reliability, flex the print media before placing it in the paper tray.
