Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep these guidelines in mind:

Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on the next column.

Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

Avoid using the following print media types:

-Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough

-Erasable bond paper

-Multi-paged paper

-Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

-Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer.

Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Store unused print media at temperatures between 15o C and 30o C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

Load special print media types one sheet at a time through the manual tray to avoid paper jams.

To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

CAUTION: If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

Envelopes

• Successful printing on envelopes depends

 

upon the quality of the envelopes. When

 

selecting envelopes, consider the following

 

factors:

-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.

-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm

(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.

-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

-Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during operation.

Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.

Do not use stamped envelopes.

Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F) for

0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope.

Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
