Print Media Guidelines 9 Print media can be paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the print media in Multipurpose Feeder (MPF). Paper For the best print quality in color, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper.
unwrapped, even in the paper feeder, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and cause feeding problems regardless of humidity. When printing on curled paper, straighten the paper and then insert it into the MPF. Smoothness The degree of paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems.
NOTE: Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When choosing any print media, you should consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam. • Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the MPF. • Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. Selecting Preprinted Media and Letterhead When selecting preprinted media and letterhead paper for the printer: • Use grain long paper for best results.
Loading Letterhead Load the letterhead in the printer with the print side facing up. Ensure that the title on the letter head enters the printer first. Selecting Pre-Punched Paper Pre-punched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques. However, it may not be possible to print on the paper to depending on the placement of holes on the paper.
Envelopes Depending on the choice of envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of light wrinkling. Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first. See "Loading Print Media" on page 59 for instructions on loading an envelope. When printing on envelopes: 54 • Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers. • Set the print media source to MPF.
– Have nicked edges or bent corners – Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers. When selecting labels: • Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). • Use labels that can be without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
CAUTION: Otherwise the printer occur in a jam and contaminate your printer and your cartridges with adhesive. As a result, could void your printer and cartridge warranties. Storing Print Media For proper print media storage, the following guidelines help avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality. • For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

2 Pull the paper cover out. 3 Pull the length guide forward until it stops. 4 Pull the MPF extension forward until it stops.
5 Adjust the paper width guides to their maximum width. 6 Before loading the print media, flex the sheets back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. 7 Load print media on the MPF with the top edge first and with the recommended print side facing up.
8 Adjust the width guides until they rest lightly against the edges of the stack of print media. 9 Slide the length guide towards the printer until it touches the print media. NOTE: Depending on the size of print media, first slide the length guide backward until it stops, and then slide the MPF extension until it touches print media.
10 Insert the paper cover into the printer and then align the paper cover to the marking on the paper tray.
Loading Envelopes NOTE: When you print on envelopes, be sure to specify the envelope setting on the printer driver. If not specified, the print image will be rotated 180 degrees. When Loading Envelope#10, DL, or Monarch Load envelopes with the side to be printed on facing up, the flap side facing down, and the flap turned to the right. To prevent DL and Monarch from being wrinkled, they are recommended to be loaded with the print-side facing up, flap opened, and facing you.
NOTICE: Never use envelopes with windows, or coated linings. These lead to paper jams and can cause damage to the printer. NOTE: If you do not load envelopes in the MPF right after they have been removed from the packaging, they may bulge. To avoid jams, flatten them as shown below when loading them in the MPF. NOTE: If envelopes are still not fed correctly, add some bending to the flap of the envelopes as shown in the following illustration. The amount of the bending shall be 5mm (0.20 inches) or less.
NOTE: To confirm the correct orientation of each print media such as envelopes, see the instruction on the Envelope/Paper Setup Navigator on the printer driver. Loading Letterhead The letterhead must be toward the top edge of MPF with the print side facing up. However, the letterhead must be inserted top edge first with the print side facing down when loading paper into the MPF.
Using the Output Tray Extension The output tray extension is designed to prevent print media from falling from the printer after the print job is complete. Before printing a document, ensure that the output tray extension is fully extended.
