The following types of special paper can be used:
•Transparency (overhead projection film)
•
•Envelopes
•Colored paper

Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.
