MEDIA RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend the following guidelines when selecting media for use in this printer:

CAUTION

Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second.

Paper

For recommended papers see your “C7100/C7300/C7500 Handy Reference Guide” or check http://my.okidata.com.

Paper should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.

Don’t use damp, damaged or curled paper.

The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously affect the life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print quality can be improved by changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’ However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the duplex option.

Don’t use very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.

Don’t use heavily embossed headed paper, very rough paper or paper that has a large grain difference between the two sides.

Don’t use paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.

Don’t use carbon paper, NCR paper, photosensitive paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.

Don’t use recycled paper.
