Media weight
The following table lists the supported weights for paper media printed
from the media tray and from the manual feeder.
Note Some thinner grades of paper may curl and cause media
feeding problems. Always load curled paper concave-
side down in the media tray.
Refer to ÒMargins and image areaÓ on page 3-33 for details on the size of the
image area.
Note The printer is designed to handle a wide variety of paper sizes,
weights and textures. However, you may Þnd that some types of
paper require manual feeding for best operation. Examples of this
could be heavy weight, Tabloid Maximum coated stock or light
weight book stock.
