Choosing Paper and Other Media

Paper Guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, 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 multiply forms.

•Use only high-quality, copier grade paper.

•Do not use paper that has been printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier.

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

•Do not attempt to overload the tray during printing.

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

•Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. 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 inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s fusing temperature.

•Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready for use. 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 wrinkle or curl.
