For best results, store your paper supply in its original wrapper. Your printout can be marred by moisture absorbed in the paper. Do not store paper in a humid or damp environment.

Below are some recommendations for selecting paper and other print media for the printer.

Labels

Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper copiers. Use the MP Tray to print on these materials.

To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with printer parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet so that no gaps occur between the individual labels.

You should test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing a sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to the label sheet when you lift it off, do not use the labels.

Envelopes

Load envelopes in the MP Tray with the flap edge first and the print surface facing up. The printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. If the printing is too light, adjust the print density by density adjust volume.

Note:

Because thickness and surface characteristics are especially important for envelopes, test a sample for print quality and proper feeding before you buy a large number of envelopes.

Colored paper

You can use colored paper as long as it meets the weight limits shown in the paper specifications. Do not, however, use coated paper (paper to which a clear or colored coating has been added).
