Paper Handling Envelopes Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first. Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface. Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 1-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope. • Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive. • Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. • If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray. • To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 printed envelopes on the output tray. Thick Paper Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams. Note If the paper jams even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration. Colored Paper Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F). Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-2.The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars. 1-9

Envelopes
Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in
the face-up position, right edge first.
Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of
ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing
quality over the entire envelope surface.
Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to
Paper
Grain
on page
1-6
. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases
when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes,
make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.
•
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.
•
Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope
printing can cause premature printer wear.
•
If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.
•
To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the output tray.
Thick Paper
Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the
MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place
and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth
them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper.
Refer to

. In addition, the pigments
used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond
paper. Refer to
Paper Specifications
on page
1-2
.The preprinted ink
must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process,
and must not be affected by silicone oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of
paper commonly used for calendars.
Note
If the paper jams
even after you smooth it
out, load the paper in
the MP tray with the
leading edge raised up
a few millimeters as
shown in the
illustration.
