Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.

3

Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality.

Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.

Do not attempt to load any tray while printing and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough.

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat- resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s fusing temperature.

Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged.

Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

NOTE: Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. They are unstable at the fusing temperature and can give off fumes, or cause damage to the printer.
