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 “Printable Paper,” on p.3-2 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.
IMPORTANT
•
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, discolour or emit dangerous
fumes at a temperature of 195°C (413°F) or higher
•
Avoid pressing or applying excessive force on the tray as this may cause damage.
- The paper stack must not exceed the limit guide.
- 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.
•
Do not set the paper guides too tight so that the paper stack bends.
- Do not set the paper guides too loose so that the paper stack is not evenly aligned.
- Do not set the paper guides too loose so as to leave room between the guides and the
paper.
- Do not place the paper into the tray at an angle.
- Do not set the paper so that the trailing edge is at an angle.
