handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure
desirable performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:
1. Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in a
laser printer.

printer’s fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade)
3. If you have selected a cotton bond paper, pap er having a rough surface,
such as cockle or laid finished paper or paper that is wrinkled or
puckered, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.

operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.
