Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to  
load it.

Suitable for plain paper laser printers, such as standard or recycled office 
paper.

not adhere well to moist or wet paper.DO NOT use plain papers that 
are
Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, and colored

Thick Stock
Paper thicker than 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) is referred to as thick stock. Test all 
thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image 
does not shift.
You can print continuously with thick stock. However, this could affect the 
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If 
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.
DO NOT use thick stock that is
Mixed with any other media in the trays (as this will cause printer 
misfeeding)

Labels
CAUTION
Labels may stick to the fuser, causing them to peel off and media 
misfeeds to occur.
A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and 
a carrier sheet:
The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.
The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no 
adhesive should come through on the surface.
You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the 
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If 
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.
Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. 
Check your application documentation for more information on printing labels.

Printable Area
The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4.0 mm (0.157) from the edges 
of the media.
Each media size has a specific printable area (the maximum area on which 
the machine can print clearly and without distortion). 
This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the 
margins required by the machine) and software constraints (the amount of 
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The printable area for all 
media sizes is the page size minus 4.0 mm (0.157) from all edges of the 
media.
NoteWhen printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 
16.0
 mm (0.63).
Note
Page Margins
Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set 
custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes 
and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may 
lose part of your image (due to printable area constraints). If you can 
custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the 
printable area for optimum results.

Loading Media 
1OPen the ream of paper and take off the top and bottom sheets. 
2Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to 
prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray.
Important!
Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of 
media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single 
media type except plain paper. 
 
 
Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as 
labels or thick stock) may adversely affect print quality or reduce 
engine life.
NoteWhen refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. 
Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. 
CAUTION
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause 
media misfeeds.
