PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.

The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.

Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.

Pre-printed stationery

CAUTION!

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

Continued use of pre-printed stationery may cause the paper feed performance to degrade over time and paper jams may occur. Clean the paper feed rollers as described on page 81.

Envelopes

Envelopes should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

CAUTION!

Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of the rectangular “peel and seal” type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Transparencies

Transparencies should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

CAUTION!

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

Labels

Labels should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

CAUTION!

Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.
