Print Media Guidelines

Selecting the right paper or other media reduces printing problems. For best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media you are considering before buying large quantities.

CAUTION: Your product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and heat can cause certain media to release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting appropriate print media to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions.

Use 20 lb (70 g/m2) xerographic paper.

Use transparencies designed for laser printers.

Use paper labels designed for laser printers.

Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper. To reduce paper jams, do not use envelopes that:

Have excessive curl.

Are stuck together.

Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing.

Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.

Have postage stamps attached.

Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position.

Use card stock with a maximum weight of 163 g/m2 and a minimum size of 3x5 in. (76.2x127 mm).

Use Letter or A4 only if you are using the automatic duplexing unit.
