| Note: | • 80 g/m² standard paper is recommended for this printer. • It is not recommended to use special paper extensively, which may affect the service life of the printer. • The print media that does not meet the guidelines listed in this User Guide may result in poor print quality, increased paper jam and excessive wear of the printer. • Properties such as weight, composition, texture and humidity are important factors affecting the printer performance and output quality.

Please note the following matters when selecting the print media:

1. Desired print effect: The print media selected should meet the requirement of the print tasks.

2. Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media may affect the sharpness of the print outcome.

3. Some print media may meet all the use guidelines contained herein,but they still can not bring satisfactory effect. This may be due to incorrect operation, inappropriate temperature and humidity, or other factors beyond the control of Pantum. Before purchasing large quantities of print media, make sure that the print media meets the specifications specified in this User Guide.

2.2.Special Paper

This printer supports using the special paper for printing. Special paper includes: label paper,envelope, transparent film, thick paper,carton paper, thin paper.

| Note: | • When using special paper or print media, be sure to select matched print type and size in the print settings so as to get the best print effect.

Please observe the following standards:

Types of Print Media | Correct Practices | Incorrect Practices
Label Paper | Use labels with no exposed lining paper only. Labels shall be put flat when using. Use labels of full sheet only. There is no guarantee that all the labels in the market can meet corresponding requirements. | Use wrinkled, blistered or damaged label papers.
Envelope | Envelopes should be loaded evenly. | Use wrinkled, nicked, stuck or damaged envelopes. Use envelopes with clips, snaps, windows, or coated linings. Use envelopes with self-adhesive stickers or other synthetic materials.
Transparent Film | Only use transparent films approved for use in laser printers. | Use transparent print media that is not suitable for laser printers.
Thick Paper, carton paper | Only use heavy paper that is approved for use in laser printers and meets the weight specifications of this printer. | Use the paper whose weight is more than the specification of the media recommended for this printer, unless the paper is approved for use in this printer.

2.4.Loading Paper

| Note: | • Printer appearance may differ because of various models and functions, so the schematic diagram is only for your reference.

2.4.1.Loading into the Automatic Feeder Tray

1. Slide out the automatic feeder tray from the printer.

2. Slide the clip of extended tray of auto feed tray, paper length deflector and paper width deflector to the slot suitable for paper size, in order to match paper length and width.

| Note: | • Do not overly squeeze the "paper length guide" and "paper width guide", otherwise it could easily lead to deformation of paper.

3. Before loading paper, please unfold the stacked paper to avoid a paper jam or feed error, and then load the paper into the tray print-side down.The automatic feeder tray can be loaded up to 250 pages, 80g/m² paper.

4. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately remove the printed document after the printing is complete.

| Note: | • It is recommended that you raise the output tray to prevent the paper from slipping and falling after printing. If you choose not to raise the output tray, we recommend that you immediately remove the printed paper from the printer. • If more than 250 pages (80 g/m²) are put inside the auto feed tray at one time, paper jam or paper feed failure will be led to. • If carrying out single-sided printing, please make sure that the side to be printed (the blank side) is face down.

2.4.2. Install the multipurpose feed tray

1. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately remove the printed document after the printing is complete.

2. Open the multipurpose feed tray.

3. Slide the paper guide of the multipurpose feed tray to match both sides of the paper. Do not apply excessive force; otherwise, paper jamming or tilting may occur.

4. Unfold the stack of paper for feeding to avoid jamming or feeding error, place the side of paper to be printed upwards into the automatic feed tray. The multipurpose feed tray can hold up to 60 pieces of 80g/m² paper.

5.Place the printing media flatly into multipurpose feed tray with both hands.

| Note: | • When paper is put into the multipurpose feed tray, the printer will automatically start the multipurpose feeding mode. • Place the side of paper to be printed upwards into the multipurpose feed tray and ensure top of the paper enters the tray first. • After printing, please take out printed papers output from printer immediately. Stacked papers or envelops will lead to paper jam or wrapped paper.

2.5. Paper and Manuscript Use Process

Manuscript requirements:

Source | Type | Size
Automatic document feeder (ADF) | Plain paper | A4, A5, B5, A6,Letter,Folio,Legal
Platen | Plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, transparent film, carton paper, label paper, envelope | A4, A5, B5, Letter, Full Scanning Platen, Custom

2.5.1.Scanning With Tablet

| Note: | • Printer appearance may differ because of various models and functions, so the schematic diagram is only for your reference.

Steps of Use:

1. Lift up the scanner cover.

2. Load the manuscript face down.

3. Align the manuscript to match the appropriate paper size.

| Note: | • If the manuscript does not match with any size marker, please align the upper-left corner of the manuscript with the arrow. • Make sure there is no document in the ADF. If a document is detected in the ADF, it will be more preferential than that on glass platen.

4. Close the scanner cover gently.

| Note: | • Please put the paper or document on the scanner glass after the glue, ink or correction fluid are completely dried. • Rough textured, uneven, oil stained and extremely smooth paper will make printing effect poor. • Please make sure that there is no dust, fluff, etc. on the paper. • Paper shall be put on a flat surface and stored under a cool and dry environment. • To avoid influencing the definition, please don't open the scanner cover during scanning with the platen.

2.5.2. Scan with the automatic document feeder (ADF)

The document feeder supports single-sided scanning and automatic duplex scanning. Refer to Chapter 9 for the scanning method.

1. Put the original into the ADF with its front upward and top fed first.

2. Adjust the document guide till it gets close to the paper stack.

| Note: | • The ADF supports feeding 50 pieces of paper at most that should be fed one by one.
