Print-media guidelines

●For best results, make sure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.

●For best-quality printing, use a smooth type of paper. Generally, smoother media produces better results. .

●If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper.
