Paper Recommendations

Your unit 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. US Bond (75 to 90 g/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 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 fusing used in this type of unit. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki transparencies (Order No. 52205701). In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

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. A suitable type is Avery White Laser Label type 5161 (Letter) or types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4).

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd/3rd tray if you have one, or the multi purpose tray) you can have the unit switch to another 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 Paper Setup menu (See “Paper Setup” on page 30).

If fitted, tray 2 (or 3) may be removed and replenished while the machine is being fed from tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while the machine is being fed from tray 2 (or 3) because parts of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2 (or 3).
