Paper recommendations Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type. The best performance will be obtained when using standard weight 20 – 24 lb (75 – 90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.
Paper input and output information The following table relates paper parameters to input trays (Tray 1 to Tray 4 (numbering from the top) and MP Tray) and to output areas (Face-down stacker and Face-up stacker). TYPE SIZE WEIGHT Plain paper A3, A3 Nobi, A3 Wide, A4, A5, A6, B4, B5, Letter, Legal 13, Legal 13.5, Legal 14, Executive, Tabloid, Tabloid Extra 17 – 57 lb Custom W: 3.94 – 12.
TYPE SIZE WEIGHT Transparencies A4, Letter 0.
Trays and stackers Trays 1 to 4 Tray 1 is the standard blank paper input tray and can hold up to 530 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²) paper. Additional trays (via the High Capacity Feeder), to give a total of 4, can be added as an option to give a total tray capacity of 2120 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m²) paper. If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (for example Tray 2 or the MP Tray), you can have the printer automatically switch to that other tray when the current tray runs out of paper.
stocks from 17 – 57 lb (64 – 216 g/m²). Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down). Face-up stacker The face-up stacker should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. (With the face-up stacker either open or closed, the driver setting of Face Down will successfully direct prints to the Face-Down stacker.
Tray and stacker examples Loading Trays 1 to 4 Tray 1 is used in the following example. 1. Pull out the tray. 2. Press the paper rear stopper tab (1) and adjust the tab to the required paper size. 1 3. Fan the paper to be loaded then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush. 4. Load the paper (face down and top edge towards the right for letterhead paper), press the tab (2) on the paper guide and adjust the guides (3) for a snug fit to the paper.
To avoid paper jams: > Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper. > Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the paper type. > Do not load damaged paper. > Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same time. 3 2 5. Gently push the tray back into the printer.
Using the MP Tray 1. Squeeze the handle (1) and open the multi-purpose tray. 1 2. Fold out the paper support section and swivel out the extension supports (2). 3 2 3. Adjust the paper guides (3) to the size of the paper being used.
4. Fan the paper to be loaded then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush. 5. Load the paper. > For single-sided printing on letterhead, load the paper into the multi-purpose tray with pre-printed side up and top edge into the printer. > For two-sided (duplex) printing on letterhead, load the paper with pre-printed side down and top edge away from the printer. > Envelopes should be loaded face-up with long edge into the printer. Do not select duplex printing on envelopes.
Using the stackers Face-down stacker When the face-up stacker (1) on the left side of the printer is closed (its normal position), paper is ejected to the face-down stacker on the top of the printer. 1 Face-up stacker The face-up exit path is used for heavy paper (cardstock etc.), envelopes, transparencies, and labels. 1. Open the stacker (1).
2. Flip out the paper support (2). 2 3. Swivel out the paper support extension (3).
