Plain Paper

Follow these guidelines when selecting paper:

The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures near 338ºF (170ºC). For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make sure any letterhead or colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.

Make sure the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.

Highly textured, extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print well.

Damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams or poor print quality.

NFor paper sizes other than letter, legal, and A4, be sure to use face-up delivery. See page 4-9 for details.

Labels

Sheets of letter- or A4-size self-sticking labels should also print without any problems. Labels must meet the requirements listed for plain paper, as well as the following:

Labels must have an ordinary, matte finish similar to copy paper.

The label backing must not be made of easily removable coated paper.

Labels must not have any exposed adhesive.

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that are wrinkled or damaged in any way.

Do not use label sheets with the backing sheet exposed, such as labels with any spaces between them.

When feeding labels, be sure to use face-up delivery. See page 4-9 for details.
