What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?
The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4 mm (0.157 in.) from the edges 
of the media.
Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which 
the printer can print clearly and without distortion. 
This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the 
margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of 
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable 
(printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0.157 in.) 
from all edges of the media.
When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 
10.4
 mm (0.409 in.).
When printing on glossy stock, the top margin is 10 mm (0.394 in.).

envelope

The envelope print orientation is determined by your application.

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 imageable area constraints). If you can 
custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the 
imageable area for optimum results.

How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of 
approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup 
before inserting it in a tray.
Do not fan transparencies.
CAUTION
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 
envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print 
quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it 
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. 
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause 
media
 misfeeds.

Before loading envelopes, press them down to make sure that all 
air is removed, and make sure that the folds of the flaps are firmly

paper jam may occur.
Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded into the tray at one time.
