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 the poor print quality.

Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with

embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too

 

smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.

• 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 it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page A.6.

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds.

- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Load special paper types one sheet at a time.

Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints out.

Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.

Do not leave transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.

To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies and coated paper carefully.

To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 oC and

30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be between 10 % and 70 %.

Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200 oC (392o F) for 0.1 second.
