Paper Usage Guidelines
Each printer tray accommodates certain sizes and types of paper or other specialty media. Follow these
guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:
• Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the tray.
• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with
release strips.
• All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.
• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
• Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of the paper
guide.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. The paper guides click into place when they are
adjusted correctly.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.
