Chapter 2
Acceptable paper and other print media
Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, thicker paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels, envelopes or glossy paper (see Print media on page 198).
For best results, follow these instructions:
DO NOT load different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause the paper to jams or misfeed.
For correct printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in the tray.
Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.
Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure the paper is appropriate for the machine.
Use labels that are designed for use in laser machines.
