Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.

See “Paper Specifications” on page A.5. 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 your project.

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

Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

-16 ~ 24 lbs (60 ~ 90 g/m2) bond for the paper tray

-16 ~ 43 lbs (60 ~ 163 g/m2) bond for the manual feeder

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 print materials that does not conform to the specifications listed “Paper Specifications” on page A.5 may cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.
