Choosing Paper and Other Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, 
envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Printing on 
Special Print Materials” on page 3.14. To get the best possible 
print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be 
appropriate for the project.
•Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the 
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
•Weight : Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
                 -16~24 lbs (60~90 g/m
2) bond for Tray 1 or 
           optional Tray 2
                 -16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m
2) bond for the 
           Multi-purpose Tray
                 -20~24 lbs (75~90 g/m
2) bond for duplex printing
•Brightness: Some paper is whiter than others and produce 
sharper, more vibrant images. 
•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects 
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the 
specifications listed on page G.7 can cause problems that may 
require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or 
service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special 
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper 
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print 
quality. 
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load any tray while printing and never 
overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a 
texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white 
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s 
fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds without 
deteriorating. Do not use paper with a colored coating that 
was added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release 
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s fusing 
temperature.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. 
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is 
packaged or unpackaged. 
• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other 
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
NOTE: Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. They are 
unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off fumes, or 
cause damage to the printer.

							USING PRINT MATERIALS3.4
Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures 
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job 
is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and 
Capacities” on page 3.2 for acceptable paper capacities for each 
tray. 
Using Tray 1 
The tray, Tray 1, can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain A4 
and letter-sized paper.
You can purchase an optional tray, Tray 2, and attach it below 
Tray 1, to load an additional 500 sheets of paper. 
1Pull the tray out of the printer.
2Push down on the metal plate until it locks into position.
