Paper Types You can use the following types of paper with this printer. The symbol indicates paper that can be loaded, and indicates paper that cannot be loaded.
IMPORTANT Do not use the following types of label paper with this printer. Using label paper that meets any of these conditions may result in paper jams that are difficult to clear or may cause damage to the printer. - Peeling labels or partly used labels - Labels that peel off from the backing sheet too easily - Labels where the adhesive is exposed ■ Index Card You can use index card in this printer. 2 Loading and Delivering Paper IMPORTANT Index card can only be loaded in the manual feed tray.
NOTE When printing envelopes, the envelopes may become creased. Abbreviations of Paper Sizes The following abbreviations are used for the sizes displayed on the multi-purpose tray and manual feed tray. Paper Guide Legal LGL Letter LTR Executive 2 Loading and Delivering Paper Paper Size EXEC . Printable Area The printable area of this printer is as follows: ■ Plain Paper / Heavy Paper / Transparency / Label Paper You can print within the following area.
■ Envelopes / Index Card Printable up to 10 mm from the edges of an envelope. You may need to adjust the printing position depending the application you are using. (Sample : Envelope COM10) 241.3 mm 10 mm (9.50 inch) 10 mm 10 mm 104.9 mm (4.
• Paper that causes printer malfunctions or damages the printer - Carbon paper - Paper with staples, clips, ribbons or tapes - Paper that has already been printed on using a copy machine or other laser printer. (The reverse side of the paper is also unusable.) • Paper that is difficult for the toner to fix onto - Paper with rough surfaces - Specially coated paper (coated paper for ink jet printers, etc.) - Paper containing thick fibers Even standard paper may deteriorate if not stored correctly.
Storing Printed Paper When handling or storing documents printed using this printer, be careful of the following points: IMPORTANT • Do not store in clear folders or with other PVC materials. This can dissolve the toner, causing the paper to stick to the PVC material. • When gluing paper, be sure to use insoluble adhesive. The use of soluble adhesives can cause the toner to dissolve. When you first use an adhesive, test it on an unneeded printout before use.
Paper Sources Paper Source Types This printer has the following paper sources: ■ Paper Source / Capacity Manual Feed Tray: 1 sheet Multi-Purpose Tray: Approx. 150 sheets (Plain paper: 64 g/m2) Manual Feed Tray Multi-Purpose Tray IMPORTANT When you are printing from the multi-purpose tray, make sure that there is no paper in the manual feed tray.
