Notes:

¥When you print, select the correct paper size and source in your application.

¥Depending on paper thickness, the maximum capacity may be reduced.

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:

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.

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. The maximum capacity may be

reduced, depending on the thickness of the paper type selected.

Note: If you experience feeding problems, try printing item at a time from

the manual feeder. See page 9.

1. Pull the extender on the automatic feeder up until it stops.
