Printing Other Special Media
Only use media designated for use with laser printers. See Appendix B
for detailed specifications.
1 To avoid paper curl, set the Paper Path Lever to the lower position to
use the Front Output Slot for a straight-through paper path. This is
important when printing media such as postcards, transparencies, labels,
envelopes, and heavy paper (28 to 42 pound bond weight).
2 Center the sliding tabs to the approximate size of media you are using.
3 Insert the media printing side forward, top side down, into the Single
Sheet Input Slot or the Paper Input Bin.
4 Readjust the tabs to center the media.
5 Set correct margins, paper size, and orientation from your software.
Tips for Printing Custom Sizes
•• Set margins at least 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) away from the edges of the
media.
•• Do not print on media smaller than 3 inches wide (76.2 mm) or 5
inches tall (127 mm).
•• Always insert media lengthwise (vertically) into the printer. If you
want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your
software. Inserting paper horizontally may cause a paper jam.
Tips for Printing Transparencies
•• To avoid transparency curl, remove the transparency as it comes out
of the printer and set it on a flat surface to cool.
Tips for Printing Labels
•• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that
are wrinkled or damaged in any way.
•• Do not use label sheets with the backing sheet exposed, such as labels
with any spaces between them.
•• Do not feed a sheet of labels through your printer more than once.
