Paper

•Rough, highly textured, limp, or pre-curled papers will result in lower print quality and more frequent paper feed failures.

•Colored papers must be able to withstand 338°F (170°C) fusing temperature.

•Preprinted forms and letterheads should be selected using guidelines in the printer User's Reference. The chemical process used in preprinting may render some papers unsuitable for use with the printer.

•Unsuitable papers include punched, embossed, water-marked, perforated media, any kind of inkjet paper or plastic-coated paper.

•Recycled paper less than 75 g/m2 (20 lb) may cause unacceptable results.

The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 170°C (338°F). Use only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.

Envelopes

•If envelope wrinkling occurs, refer to the User's Reference for correct loading and stacking of envelopes.

•All envelopes should be new, unused, and without damage.

•Envelopes with excessive curl or twist exceeding 6.0 mm, those stuck together, those with bent corners or nicked edges, or those that interlock should not be used.
