Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain, running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper. For 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers heavier than 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the bypass tray, 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended.
l Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself. l Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams. l Do not use coated papers. l Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size sensing. l Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed on the operator panel. l Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source. l Flex paper back and forth.

CAUTION: The fuser area inside of the rear cover of your printer becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area. Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray You can load approximately 250 sheets of plain paper in the tray 1 or the optional tray 2. If you purchased the optional tray 2, see "Installing an Optional Tray 2" for installing instructions. For faxing, you can use A4, letter or legal paper only.

Paper Specifications Overview Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100 percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture content, are important factors affecting the printer's performance and the output quality.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package. The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the printer: Symptom Problem with paper Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems with feeding Too moist, too rough, too smooth or embossed; faulty paper lot Try another kind of paper, between 100-400 Sheffield, 4%-5% moisture content.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20° C to 24° C (68° F to 75° F), with a relative humidity of 4 percent to 55 percent. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper's storage environment: l Paper should be stored at or near room temperature. l The air should not be too dry or too humid. l The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping.
