Loading paper
In the paper input tray
Load the print material you use for the majority of your print
jobs in the paper input tray. The paper input tray can hold a
maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m
2
) plain paper.
To load paper, pull open the paper input tray and load paper
with the side to be printed on face down.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down.
The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the
front of the paper input tray.

:
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet
at a time in the manual feeder.
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side
should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If
you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper
around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.
Preprinted paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink
that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature of 208° C (406.4° F) for 0.1 second.
• 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.
