Print media guidelines

Unacceptable paper

The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer:

•Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper

•Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer

•Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser

•Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms

In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software application to successfully print on these forms.

•Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

•Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers

•Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19 309

•Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)

•Multiple-part forms or documents

Selecting paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensure trouble-free printing.

To help avoid jams or poor print quality:

•Always use new, undamaged paper.

•Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This information is usually indicated on the paper package.

•Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.

•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.

•Do not use coated papers.

•Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size sensing.

•Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed on the operator panel.

•Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See Paper Menu for detailed information about these settings.)

•Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source.
