Choosing Paper and Other Materials
Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain
print quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.
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.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• 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 the 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.
•
•
•
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 tray.
Weight: Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
-16~24 lbs bond(60~90 g/m2) for the tray
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to 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 subjected to the printer’s fusing
temperature.
-16~43 lbs bond(60~163 g/m2) for the manual feed
•
•
Brightness: Some papers are 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
require service. This service will not be covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
• 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. These
types of paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can
give off fumes, or cause damage to the printer.

If you want to print on previously printed paper, the printed side
should be facing up with the uncurled edge toward the printer.
If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the
paper around.
Verifying the Output Location
The printer has the output tray that collects paper face-down,
in correct order.
Using Manual Feed Mode
If you select Manual Feed in the Source option, you can
manually load paper in the tray. Manually loading paper can be
helpful when you want to check the print quality after each
page is printed.
If you experience a paper jam from the tray, load one sheet of
paper at a time into the tray.

Load the print material in the tray with the print side up.
NOTES
:
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the
surface, and especially keep children away from the surface.
• The output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. Remove
the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.
Adjust the paper guide against the print material without
bending the paper.

Printing on Labels
Printing on Special Print Materials
Printing on Envelopes
• Only use labels recommended for your printer.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) for 0.1 seconds.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material
between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel
off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
• Only use envelopes recommended for your printer. Before
loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they are
undamaged and are not stuck together.
• Do not feed stamped envelopes.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated
linings, or self-stick adhesives.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet
or are wrinkled or damaged in any way.
To print on envelope:
• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the
printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

Printing on Transparencies
Printing on Preprinted Paper
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
• Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on
it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).
• Do not leave them in the tray for long periods of time. Dust
and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty
printing.
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 180 °C (356
°F) for 0.1 seconds.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and
coated paper carefully.
• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect printer rollers.
• To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in moisture-proof
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to use paperbacked
transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam
or be scratched.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and
letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the
fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper,
reducing the print quality.

Open the front cover.
Toner Cartridge Storage
To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until
you are ready to use them.
• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
2
Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out to remove from
the printer.
• To prevent damage to toner cartridges, do not expose them
to light for more than a few minutes.
Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy
The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that
your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, the
toner cartridges last an average of 2,000 pages for black and white
printing and 1,000 pages for each color printing. However, the
toner cartridge that is shipped with the printer prints 1,500 pages
for black and white, 700 pages for colors.
Redistributing Toner
3
Holding the toner cartridge, shake thoroughly it from side
to side to redistribute the toner.
When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may
appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed
with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when
one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The Smart
Panel program window appears on the computer telling you
which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, when the toner LED,
on the control panel, indicating each individual toner cartridge
according to its color, blinks, the toner cartridge is low.
The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner
cartridge until the Smart Panel program window appears on the

In some conditions, it may not be possible to
change the default queue. This happens with some
variants of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat
systems that use the “printconf” database of
queues.
When using printconf, the /etc./printcap file is
automatically refreshed from the database of
printers managed by the system (usually through
the “printtool” command), and the queues in
/
etc./printcap.local are appended to the resulting
file. The default queue in LPRng is defined as the
first queue in /etc./printcap, and therefore it is
not possible for the Linux Printer Package to change
the default when some queues have otherwise been
defined using printtool.
LPD systems identify the default queue as the one
named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this
name, and if it doesn’t have an alias, then you won’t
be able to change the default. To work around this,
you can either delete the queue or rename it by
manually editing the /etc./printcap file.

NOTES
:
** Capacity may vary depending on print material’s weight and thickness, and environmental con-
ditions.
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature
inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
*** Smoothness: 100 to 250 (Sheffield)
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the
paper. Ensure that any colored paper or preprinted forms
use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature
(180 °C or 356 °F for 0.1 second).
NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials
with a length of less than 140 mm (5.5 in). For optimum
performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the
paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage

Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses
moisture rapidly.
Curl in Ream
Cut Edge Conditions
Cut with sharp blades with no visible
fray.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to
condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners
remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened
and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to
increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any
excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as
paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This
can cause paper jams.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which
can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to
large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more
potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition
is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 %
to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
Manual feed

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap
it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the
amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to
prevent unwanted moisture changes.
Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within
a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with
less than 6 mm (0.25 in) curl, and should not contain air.

• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged.
Envelope Margins

with the heat and pressure of the printer.

NOTES
:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 0.6 in
(15 mm) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
NOTE: You may experience some paper jams when using any
media with a length less than 127 mm 5 in). This may be
(
caused by paper that has been affected by environmental
conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are
storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be
more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Labels
CAUTION
:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended
for laser printers.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and
never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
Correct
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180 °C
(356 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
0.5 in (13 mm) of curl in any direction.
Incorrect
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams, and may even
damage the fuser.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
180 °C (356 °F), the machine’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your
document.
