For paper heavier than 135 gsm (36 lb bond), grain short,where the paper fibers run along the width of the paper, is preferred.• Envelopes can be printed from the paper tray and the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI).• Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives withrelease strips.• Print all envelopes single-sided only.• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.• When loading print media in the paper tray, do not load it above the fill line on the paper widthguides of the paper tray.• Slide the paper width guides to adjust to the paper size.• If excessive jams or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.WARNING:• Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.See also:• "Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray" on page 126• "Loading Print Media in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)" on page 134• "Loading Envelopes in the Paper Tray" on page 130• "Loading Envelopes in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)" on page 137• "Printing on Custom Size Paper" on page 154116 Printing Basics
