Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.
Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx 5%.
CAUTION CAUTION
DO NOT load envelopes, labels or thick paper (more than 105 gsm) into the paper tray or optional lower tray. It may cause paper jams.

Type and size of paper

The machine loads paper from the installed standard paper tray, multi-purpose tray, or optional lower tray.

Standard paper tray

Since the standard paper tray is a universal type, you can use any of the paper sizes (one paper type and size at a time) listed in the table in Paper capacity of the paper trays. The standard paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets of Letter/A4, legal and folio size paper (80 gsm). Paper can be loaded up to the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide.

Multi-purpose tray (MP tray)

The MP tray can hold up to 50 sheets of paper (80 gsm) or up to 3 envelopes. Paper can be loaded up to the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide.

Optional lower tray (LT-100CL)

The optional lower tray can hold up to
500 sheets of Letter/A4, legal and folio size paper (80 gsm). Paper can be loaded up to the top line of the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide.
