Paper Recommendations

Loading Paper

❒Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfeed.

❒When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.

❒Set the paper as described below.

•Tray 1: Print side facing down

•Bypass Tray: Print side facing up

•Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing down

❒Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.

❒Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.

Storing Paper

•Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows:

•Avoid storing paper in humid areas.

•Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.

•Store on a flat surface.

•Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.
