02-Operating 3/2/00 9:35 AM Page 5 Selecting paper type and feed source One of the most important things you can do to obtain the best results from your printer is to select the correct type of paper. Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers. It does not require special paper, however, print quality varies with different paper types.
02-Operating 3/2/00 9:36 AM Page 6 Loading a stack of paper You can stack paper, envelopes, card stocks, labels or transparencies in the automatic paper feeder. The automatic paper feeder holds up to 150 sheets of plain paper or 10 envelopes or other material. The maximum capacity may be reduced, depending on the thickness of the material. Note: If you experience feeding problems, try feeding a single sheet of paper from the manual paper feeder. See page 2.8. 1.
02-Operating 3/2/00 9:36 AM Page 7 • For transparencies: - Hold the transparencies by the edge and avoid touching the print side. - Fan the stack of transparencies to prevent feeding failures. Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side. 3. Load the print material in the automatic paper feeder without overloading. Do not mix different types of material. Read the instructions below on how to load each type of material. • Load paper or transparencies with the print side facing you.
02-Operating 3/2/00 9:36 AM Page 8 • Load envelopes with the flap side facing away from you. Make sure the stamp area is on the bottom of the right corner. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the feeder first. Notes: • Do not feed stamped envelopes. The stamp is shown here for placement purpose only. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.

If printing onto envelopes, change your printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side.
04-Troubleshooting 3/2/00 9:15 AM Page 11 Paper problems Problem Paper sticks together/multiple sheets of paper feed. Cause and solution • Remove paper from the paper feeder and flex or fan the paper. • Make sure that there is not too much paper in the paper tray. Depending on the thickness of your paper, the automatic feeder holds up to 150 sheets. • Different types of paper may be stacked in the automatic feeder. Load just one type of paper. Paper fails to feed.
04-Troubleshooting 3/2/00 9:15 AM Problem Transparencies or envelopes do not feed correctly. Page 12 Cause and solution • The film or envelopes may not be loaded correctly. Make sure you load no more than 10 transparencies or envelopes in the automatic feeder. Depending on the thickness, the maximum capacity may need to be reduced. • When you feed into the manual feeder, you must load one sheet at a time. Repeated paper jams occur. • The paper you are using may be causing the jams.
