-Store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded in the printer tray, in a sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.

-Keep paper supplies out of the reach of children.

NOTE

Do not use Legal size Thick paper. (Does not support Legal size Thick Paper.)

Do not use the following paper. To do so will lead to reduced print quality, a misfeed or a failure.

-Paper already used in a thermal transfer printer or ink jet printer.

-Paper that is too thin or too thick.

-Paper folded, curled or broken.

-Paper having binding holes or perforations.

-Paper of which surfaces are too smooth or too rough or which is very different in roughness between both surfaces.

-Paper whose surfaces have a special coating, such as carbon paper, heat-sensitive paper and pressure-sensitive paper.

-Sheets of paper varying in size.

-Paper not cut at right angles.

-Paper bound by gluing, stapling or clipping.

-Labels which are easy to peel.

Envelopes should meet the following requirements:

-Edges and folds are sharp.

-General mailing envelopes with no seals on the glued portion.

-Those having flaps the full width of the envelope. (Unacceptable if the flap is glued, but not the mating surface.)

-Wrinkle-free, no fasteners.

Generally, envelopes perform well, but some types may wrinkle. We strongly recommend testing any type of envelope before buying it in large amounts.
