CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE PAPER IN THE

PAPER TRAY

To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to

adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray.

1. Adjust the paper length guide to the desired paper length. It is preset

to Letter or A4 size depending on the country. To load another size,

hold the lever and move the length guide to the corresponding

position.

Transparencies

To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

Transparencies used in the machine must be able

to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing

temperature.

Place them on a flat surface after removing them

from the machine.

Do not leave them 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.

Labels

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser machines.

- When selecting labels, consider the following fac-

tors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be sta-

ble at your machine’s fusing temperature. Check

your machine’s specification to view the fusing

temperature, see page 113.

- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed

backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets

that have spaces between the labels, causing

serious jams.

- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no

more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bub-

bles, or other indications of separation.

Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive

material between labels. Exposed areas can cause

labels to peel off during printing, which can cause

paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause

damage to machine components.

Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine

more than once. The adhesive backing is designed

for only a single pass through the machine.

Do not use labels that are separating from the

backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise

damaged.

Card stock or

custom-sized

materials

Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm wide or

356 mm long.

In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Preprinted

paper

Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink

that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous

emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing

temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s

specification to view the fusing temperature, see

page 113.

Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should

not adversely affect printer rollers.

Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a

moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during

storage.

Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms

and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is

dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off

preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
