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 20 to 24 lb (75~90g/m²) paper
designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:
>HammerMill® Laser Print Radiant, White, 24 lb US Bond
>Xerox® 4024, 20 lb US Bond
>Oki® Bright White, 32 lb US Bond
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high
fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of
the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure
fusi ng us ed in this type of pr inte r. Wi ndow envelopes are not suitable. Envelopes should be
handled by the Multi Purpose tray.
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. Transparencies should be handled by the Multi
Purpose tray.
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.
Use the MPT for printing labels.

ASSETTE

TRAYS

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd/3rd tray if you have one, or
multi purpose tray) you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when
the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function
is enabled in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled
in the Print Menu.
