Straighten the edges on a level surface. Loading Paper 19 w w w. d el l. c om | s upp ort . del l . com 3 Load the paper in the tray with the print side facing down. Make sure the paper is below the max fill line on the side guides. Overloading may cause jams. 4 Slide the two side guides and the back guide until they fit snugly against the stack of paper. If you are loading legal or folio size paper, press down on the latch at the back of the tray and expand the tray until the extender locks into place. 20 Loading Paper 5 Insert the tray. 6 Extend the paper support on the output bin. Loading Paper 21 w w w. d el l. c om | s upp ort . del l . com Loading the Manual Feeder The manual feeder is located at the front of your printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray. To load the manual feeder: 1 Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, at the center of the manual feeder, but only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides. Otherwise, the printer will engage the print media too soon and skew the print job. Adjust the paper guides to the print media's width. 2 3 Hold both sides of the print media close to the manual feeder and push it into the printer until it automatically engages. There is a brief pause between the time the printer engages the print media and when it feeds into the printer. 22 Loading Paper NOTICE: Do not force the print media into the feeder. Forcing the media causes jams. · · · · Insert envelopes with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top right side. Hold transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can affect print quality. Load letterhead face-up, with the top of the sheet entering the printer first. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Using the Rear Exit The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes, labels, card stock, or index cards. To use the rear exit, simply open the rear exit door. When the rear exit door is open, all print media comes out the rear exit. When closed, all media is sent to the output bin on top of the printer. Loading Paper 23 w w w. d el l. c om | s upp ort . del l . com Print Media Guidelines Selecting the right paper or other media reduces printing problems. For best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media you are considering before buying large quantities. CAUTION: Your product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and heat can cause certain media to release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting appropriate print media to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions. · · · · Use 20 lb (75 g/m2) xerographic paper. Use transparencies designed for laser printers. Use paper labels designed for laser printers. Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper. To reduce paper jams, do not use envelopes that: · · · · · · · Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have postage stamps attached Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position · Use card stock with a maximum weight of 163 g/m2 and a minimum size of 3 x 5 in.
