Loading Paper into the High Capacity Feeder
Correct Paper Storage
It is important to store paper correctly prior to placing it in the printer, since improper storage can
cause frequent paper jams and poor print quality. Use the following guidelines when storing paper
for use in the printer:
• Store reams of paper on a flat surface, and always store them stacked horizontally.
• Store reams of paper in an area away from both direct sunlight and high humidity
• Open sealed reams only when you are ready to load the paper into the paper tray, and always
close and seal partial reams of paper.
• Do not stack partial reams of paper
Print Media Weight, Type, and Size
The following table defines print media that you can use in the high capacity feeder, and also indi-
cates the feed orientation—long edge feed (LEF) or short edge feed (SEF). If you have concerns
about a specific brand or type of media, try samples of the media to determine if the resulting
printer performance and print quality meet your expectations.
