Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray
Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray
The Multi-Purpose tray can hold a variety of print media: plain paper, envelopes,
labels, transparencies and non-standard size paper. The capacity is approximately 100
sheets of cut-sheet paper (80 g/m 2 or 21 lbs.). When not in use, the tray can fold up
into the printer.
Guidelines for using the Multi-Purpose tray
• Print quality and printer life are greatly affected by what and how the print media
is used. Please read the “Print Media Specifications” section in Appendix 3 to
ensure the correct print media is used.
• Use of print media not meeting the paper requirements may cause severe paper jams
or result in excessive mechanical wear of the printer.
• Do not use the following paper in the tray:
– Moist paper
– Paper that is wavy, curled or damaged
– Folded, clipped or stapled paper
– Paper with cut-outs or perforations (not recommended)
– Paper containing materials that melt, vaporize, offset, discolor or emit dangerous
fumes at a temperature of 190
°
C (374
°
F) or higher
Avoid pressing or applying excessive force on the tray as this may cause
damage.
• The paper stack must not exceed the paper limit mark.
• Do not load different paper sizes on the tray at the same time.
• Do not add paper to the tray if paper is already loaded; incorrect paper feed
or a paper jam may occur. Only add paper when the tray is empty.
• If printed pages come out of the printer all curled up, you can correct the
problem by turning over the paper stack in the tray so that the bottom sheet
in the stack is now at the top.
• If the leading edge of the paper is curled, straighten it out as much as
possible before loading it into the tray.
