Use the Front Feeder to print on special
media without having to change the paper
you have loaded in the tray(s). You can
print up to 100 pieces of media or you can
use the Front Feeder as a manual feed unit
to print individual pieces of media
“on-the-fly.”
For media other than standard paper, you
must use the rear paper exit. This eliminates curling, and for labels, it
eliminates peeling.
You can use the Front Feeder to print on the following media:
• Standard weight paper that is different from the paper loaded in the
paper tray: e.g., letterhead, different size
– Up to 100 sheets
– 16 to 28-lb.
– Letter, 13" & 14" Legal, Executive, A4, A5, B5, C5
(minimum 3.4" x 2.8"; maximum 8.5" x 14")
– Use either top or rear paper exit path
• Envelopes
– Up to 10 envelopes
– 16 to 28-lb.
– Com 10, Com 9, Monarch, DL, C4, C5
– Use envelopes that have seams that run down the sides and squared-off
flaps: envelopes with v-type flap are not recommended.
– Use envelopes with a smooth, even surface that are designed for laser
printers: no metal clasps, snaps, windows, or self-adhesive flaps
– Use rear paper exit only
• Labels
Important! Carrier sheet and label adhesive must withstand the
fusing process heat of 392° F (200°C) for 1 second. Label
adhesive must not be exposed; if it is, it will cause
jamming in the printer.
– Up to 100 sheets
– Letter or A4
– Use label sheets designed for laser printers
– Labels must cover the entire carrier sheet.
– Use rear paper exit only
• Transparencies (up to 100 sheets)
Important! Transparencies must withstand the fusing process heat of
392° F (200°C) for 1 second without wrinkling or
gumming up.
– Letter or A4
