Loading Paper
You can load paper in the paper drawer and multi-purpose tray. Load paper used frequently in the paper drawer. This is useful because you can load a large number of sheets. When you use paper not loaded in the paper drawer for limited time, load the paper in the multi-purpose tray. See Paper for information about available paper sizes.
Paper Type and Printer Driver Paper Settings
Before printing, refer to the table below and make the appropriate paper settings in the printer driver, according to the type of paper that you have loaded. See Basic Print Operations for details about paper settings, and see Paper for information about the number of sheets that can be loaded in each paper source.

When printing on paper that has absorbed moistureSteam may be emitted from the paper output area, or water droplets may form around the paper output area. This is not a malfunction. It occurs when the heat used to fix toner on the paper causes moisture in the paper to evaporate (most likely to occur at low room temperatures).
