Handling Paper
Observe the following tips when handling print media.
•Do not use paper that is wrinkled or curled.
•Do not use paper with staples or metal parts.
•When printing both sides of a sheet, we recommend you to use paper in 105 g/m2 (28 pound) weight. Paper thinner than this weight may be wrinkled thus causing decrease in print quality.
Preprinted Sheets
In general, you can safely print on preprinted sheets such as letterhead. However, letterhead with thermographic (raised) printing, embossing, or foil stamping may not work well. The forces used to create these effects (heat and/or pressure) are also used in the printer’s fuser unit. For this reason, the fuser unit may damage the preprinted image.
Load preprinted paper with the printed side facing down in the paper tray. When using the manual feed slot, place paper with the printed side facing up. For printing in portrait orientation, the letterhead should be at the front of the tray. For landscape orientation, it should be at the right of the tray. For more information on printing in different orientations, see the later section of this chapter.
Transparencies
This printer can print on overhead transparency material.
•We recommend you to set up the rear stacker so that transparencies are ejected straight out the back to minimize curl.
The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.
