Paper Usage Guidelines
The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other
specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:
■ Use Tray 1 (MPT) for envelopes, thick card stock, and custom size paper.
■ Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
■ Print envelopes, labels, and transparencies on one-side only.
■ See Printing Envelopes on page 3-27 for information on how to minimize wrinkling and
embossing that may occur when printing envelopes.
■ Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line indicated on the
paper guide.
■ Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper. For Trays 2–5, the paper guides click into place
when they are adjusted correctly.
■ Use paper or other approved media from a new package if excessive jams occur.
