Choosing Paper and Other Media

Paper Guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in your 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.

Use only high-quality, copier grade paper.

Do not use paper that has been already 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 load any tray during printing and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or 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 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 approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to 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 it to wrinkle or curl.
