to Label.
d) Select MP Tray in paper source, then press OK.
e) Start printing in application.
f) After printing, close the multi-purpose tray.
Printing on special media
The table below shows the available special media for each tray.
When using special media, we recommend you feed one paper at a
time. Check the maximum input number of media for each tray. (See
"Print media specifications" on page 92.)

Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it flap side up with the stamp area bottom the
top right side.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Weight:
The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90
g/m
2
otherwise, jam may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6
mm curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor
damaged.
- Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.

2 Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s
fusing temperature for 0.1 second. To view the fusing temperature,
check your machine’s specification. (See "General specifications" on
page 91.) The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or
jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from
the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use
in laser printers.
In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality would
be lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on the
overhead projector.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
• Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged
sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn
edges.
• Do not use transparencies that separates from the backing sheet.
