Paper Recommendations
Your unit will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes,
transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and
explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard 20 to 24 lb. US Bond (75 to 90
g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Use of heavily embossed or very
rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high
fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of the
rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure
fusing used in this type of unit. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. In
particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These
will melt in the fuser and cause damage.
Cassette Trays
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd/3rd tray if you have one, or
the multi purpose tray) you can have the unit switch to another tray when the current tray
runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the
driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Paper
Setup menu (See “Paper Setup” on page 32).
If fitted, tray 2 (or 3) may be removed and replenished while the machine is being fed from
tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while the machine is being fed from tray 2 (or 3) because
parts of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2 (or 3).
Multi Purpose Tray
The multi purpose tray can handle the same media sizes as the cassette trays but in
weights up to 53 lb. US Bond (200 g/m²) [Ultra heavy]. For very heavy paper stock, use
the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the unit is
almost straight.
