Choosing Paper
•Use a paper weight of 16 to 24 lb. in the Paper Tray and 16 to 32 lb. for manual feed.
•For best results, use paper that is smooth and of high quality, such as copier paper or paper with a Sheffield rating of 250 or less.
•Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
•Preprinted forms must not scorch, melt, offset, or release hazardous emissions when heated to 392°F (200° C) for 0.1 second.
•Avoid printing on both sides of the paper for more than a few pages, or on preprinted documents that have been in a photocopier.
•Try paper before you buy it in quantity.
Using Recycled Print Media
Recycled paper should be restricted to 20% to 35% Post Consumer Content and not exceed 50%. Paper must be relatively stiff and have minimum edge curl. Paper should be white and bright for maximum
contrast. The surface should be smooth, clean, and stable electrically and dimensionally.
Recycled paper used by OKIDATA printers must be specifically denoted by the paper manufacturer to be for laser printers, or laser guaranteed or compatible. Using media outside these specifications may cause problems requiring service that will not be covered by OKIDATA warranty or service agreements.
