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
¥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.
¥
¥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,
¥Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed under ÔSpecificationsÕ on page 4.7.
¥When you choose envelopes, use only
-DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
-DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings,
-DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
