•Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured

•Coated papers

•Damaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, etc.

•Multipart forms or carbonless paper

•Paper with a cotton and/or fiber content over 25%

•Ink jet media (paper, transparency, etc.) (It may transfer onto the fuser unit’s roller and cause damage.)

•To avoid damaging the printer, do not use ink jet transparency.

•Transparencies and adhesive material of labels should be stable at 205°C (400°F), the printer’s maximum temperature.

•Re-using transparencies that have been fed through the printer once (for example, after jams or if the transparency is ejected without being printed) can reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.

•When using transparencies, if the print quality is poor, print on the other side.
