Using special media
This section discusses printing and copying on types of media that require special
handling:
● small or narrow paper
● letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper
● envelopes
● labels
● transparencies
● cards and custom-size or heavy paper
Using small or narrow paper
Follow these guidelines if you plan to print or copy primarily on small or narrow media:
● Use the 6,000-page toner cartridge (part number C8061A). The toner might leak if
large quantities of small or narrow media are printed using the 10,000-page
cartridge (part number C8061X). (See
“Ordering information” on page 125 .)
● Print from Tray 1 to the rear output slot if you experience problems such as jams or
curling. Using this output slot provides a straight-through paper path.
See “Using cards and custom-size or heavy paper” on page 28 for further information
about printing on non-standard sizes.
Using letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper
When printing letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, it is important to orient the
paper correctly.
● When using Tray 1, load the paper with the side to be printed facing up, and the top,
short edge toward the product.
● For all other trays, load paper with the side to be printed facing down, and the top
edge toward you.
Note Follow the guidelines in this section for printing on one side only. To duplex, see
“Guidelines for duplexing” on page 29 .
