2.4 Adding Paper
The printer has a built-in paper tray that can accept paper, transparencies,
labels, and envelopes. The tray incorporates a convenient adjustable paper
feed guide allowing it to accommodate various media sizes including the
following:
• Legal-size paper (8 ½ in. x 14 in.)
• Letter-size paper, transparencies, and labels (8 ½ in. x 11 in.)
• A4-size paper, transparencies, and labels (210 mm x 297 mm)
• Executive-size paper (7 ¼ in. x 10 ½ in.)
• Envelopes ranging in size from 97 mm x 148 mm, up to
216 mm x 356 mm
The paper tray can hold up to 50 sheets of 20 lb. (75 g/m

basis weight)
paper. Up to five envelopes can be stacked in the paper tray. There are
optional paper cassettes available to accommodate various sizes of paper.
For ordering information about the optional paper feeder and cassettes, see
Appendix B.
Here are some general guidelines to follow about the paper used in the
printer:
• Use only high-quality paper such as the papers listed in Appendix B.
• Avoid using any paper that is creased, folded, clipped, stapled, or
damaged.
• To prevent paper curl (a curved bend in the paper), stack the paper on
a flat surface for storage.
• Prevent changes to the moisture content of the paper by storing it
properly and rewrapping unused portions. Do not store paper directly
on the floor.
Complete specifications for print media are in Chapter 5. For more detailed
print media information, consult the Digital Laser Printers Guide to Paper
and Other Media (see Appendix B for ordering information).
