■ Types of Paper to Avoid
•Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
•Coated papers
•Acid paper
•Letterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These materials may transfer
onto the fusing roller and cause damage. Any pre-printed paper should use inks compatible
with 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.
•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.)
■ Transparencies and Labels
You may also print on labels and transparencies that are made for the printer. Panasonic has
tested and found that the following work satisfactorily.
OHP transparencies 3M CG3300
Labels AVERY 5160, AVERY 5161, AVERY 5162, AVERY 5163,
AVERY 5660, AVERY 5661, AVERY 5662, AVERY 5663

•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.
