Choosing Paper and Other Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Printing on Special Print Materials” on page 3.14. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

•Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project.

•Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

•Weight : Your printer supports paper weighs as follows:

-16~24lbs (60~90g/m2) bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2

-16~43lbs (60~163g/m2) bond for the Multi-purpose Tray

-20~24lbs (75~90g/m2) bond for duplex printing

•Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the specifications listed on page D.7 can cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.
