Media specifications and guidelines
This chapter provides specifications for each type of media that can be used with your MFP.
There are two types of media — scan media and print media. Scan media is what is placed in the
automatic document feeder (ADF) or on the scanner flatbed. Some types of scan media cannot be
run through the ADF, so it has to be placed on the scanner flatbed.
Print media, which is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes, is loaded into print
media sources which are the trays and the multipurpose feeder. Card stock, transparencies, labels,
and envelopes are sometimes referred to as specialty media.

Loading scan media
You can load or place all sorts of items to be scanned to make a copy, to be scanned to e-mail, or to
be scanned to fax. Based on the type of item you have, whether it be a stack of pages or a book, the
ADF or the scanner flatbed accommodates the item.
