Paper Guidelines

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

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

¥Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.

¥Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

¥Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printerÕs fusing temperature of 392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

¥Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat- resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printerÕs approximately 392 oF (200 oC) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

¥Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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.

¥During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

¥Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed under ÔSpecificationsÕ on page 60.

¥When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, and well creased folds.

-DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

-DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials.

-DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
