Acceptable paper and 

other print media

2

Print quality may vary according to the type of 
paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print 
media: plain paper, bond paper, recycled 
paper, transparencies, labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

„

Use paper made for plain paper copying. 

„

Use paper that is 20 to 24 lb (75 to 
90 g/m

2

).

„

Use labels and transparencies which are 
designed for use in laser machines.

„

DO NOT put different types of paper in the 
paper tray at the same time because it 
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

„

For proper printing, you must choose the 
same paper size from your software 
application as the paper in the tray.

„

Avoid touching the printed surface of the 
paper immediately after printing.

„

When you use transparencies remove 
each sheet immediately to prevent 
smudging or paper jams.

„

Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph 
value, and a moisture content of approx. 
5%.

To get the best print quality, we suggest using 
the following paper.

Type and size of paper

The machine loads paper from the installed 
standard paper tray or manual feed slot.

Standard paper tray

Since the standard paper tray is a universal 
type, you can use any of the paper sizes (one 
paper type and size at a time) listed in the 
table in 

Paper capacity of the paper trays

on page 15. The standard paper tray can 
hold up to 250 sheets of Letter/A4, legal or 
folio size paper (20 lb or 80 g/m

2

). Paper can 

be loaded up to the maximum paper mark on 
the sliding paper width guide.

Manual feed slot

The manual feed slot can hold a sheet with a 
size of 3 to 8.66 in. (76.2 to 220 mm) wide 
and 4.57 to 16 in. (116 to 406.4 mm) long. 
You can use the manual feed slot if you are
