For two‑sided (duplex) printing, load letterhead facedown with the bottom edge entering the printer first.
Page 61: Using The Standard Bin And Paper Stop
Loading paper and specialty media • Load envelopes with the flap on the left side facedown. Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self‑stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. From the printer control panel, set the paper size and paper type in the Paper menu to match the paper or specialty media loaded in the multipurpose feeder.
Page 62: Linking And Unlinking Trays
Loading paper and specialty media Linking and unlinking trays When the paper size and paper type for any trays are the same, the printer links those trays. When one linked tray becomes empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. We recommend giving all unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a different custom type name so that the trays they are in do not automatically link.

Page 65: Paper And Specialty Media Guide
Paper and specialty media guide Paper and specialty media guide Using specialty media Tips on using letterhead • Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers. • Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Before loading letterhead, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Page 66: Tips On Using Labels
Paper and specialty media guide – Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position – Have bent corners – Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes • Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes. Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.
Page 67: Paper Guidelines
Paper and specialty media guide • Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi‑liquid and volatile components into the printer. • Use grain short card stock when possible. Paper guidelines Selecting the correct paper or specialty media reduces printing problems. For the best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media before buying large quantities.
Page 68: Unacceptable Paper
Paper and specialty media guide For 60–90‑g/m (16–24‑lb) bond paper, grain long paper is recommended. Fiber content Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Page 69: Using Recycled Paper And Other Office Papers
Paper and specialty media guide Use papers printed with heat‑resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner.

Page 105 Faxing Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) A Digital Subscriber Line splits your regular telephone line into two channels: voice and Internet. Telephone and fax signals travel through the voice channel, and Internet signals pass through the other channel. This way, you can use the same line for analog voice calls (including faxes) and digital Internet access.
