Introducing Your Printer 3 Chapter 2 Paper Handling Selecting Paper Types and Feed Source One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible print quality from your printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond paper, including cotton bond and photocopying paper; it does not require special paper. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a small quantity of paper before you purchase a large quantity. You can print on any of the following paper types: Type Plain paper (20 to 30 Ib) Size Letter: 8 1/2 x 11Ó Legal: 8 1/2 x 14Ó Executive: 7 1/4 x 10 1/2Ó A4: 210 x 297 mm A5: 148 x 210 mm B5: 182 x 257 mm Folio: 8 1/2 x 13Ó COM-10: 4 1/8 x 9 1/2Ó Monarch: 3 7/8 x 7 1/2Ó C5: 162 x 229 mm C6: 114 x 162 mm DL: 110 x 220 mm Feed Source Automatic feeder Manual feeder Automatic feeder Manual feeder Automatic feeder Manual feeder Capacity 150 sheets (Approx.) 1 sheet Envelopes 10 envelopes (Approx.) 1 envelope 10 items (Approx.) 1 item Cards (16 to 32 Ib) Transparency Film Paper Labels Notes: ¥When you print, select the correct paper size and source in your application. ¥Depending on paper thickness, the maximum capacity may be reduced. 4 Paper Handling Loading a Stack of Paper You can stack paper, envelopes, card stocks, labels, or transparencies in the automatic paper feeder to feed automatically. The automatic feeder can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of plain paper, and 10 envelopes or other print media.

See page 9. 1. Pull the extender on the automatic feeder up until it stops. Extender Automatic feeder Manual feeder 2. Prepare the print material for loading. ¥ For paper and envelopes: - Flex paper or fan envelopes back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. Note: If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of envelopes in the automatic feeder. Paper Handling 5 ¥ For transparencies: - Hold the transparencies by the edges 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 sides. 3. Load the print material in the automatic feeder. Do not load too much print material. Do not different paper types. See the following directions on how to load each type of print material. ¥ Load paper or transparencies with the print side facing you. Place the print side facing you. 6 Paper Handling ¥ Load envelopes with the flap side facing away from you. The stamp area is on the bottom right corner. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the feeder first. Notes: ¥ Do not feed stamped envelopes.
