Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

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

Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 4.3.

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

For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

Avoid using the following media types:

-Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough

-Erasable bond paper

-Multi-paged paper

-Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

-Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your machine.

Store print media 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 it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C. The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi- purpose tray to avoid paper jams.

To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Envelopes

• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon

 

the quality of the envelopes. When selecting

 

envelopes, consider the following factors:

-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb bond) or jamming may occur.

-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should not contain air.

-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

-Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine during operation.

Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.

Do not use stamped envelopes.

Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 15.1. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.

Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
