*. The machine supports a wide range of media sizes. See “Paper Type, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1

**.Capacity may differ depending on media weight, thickness, and environmental conditions.

NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials with a length of less than 5 in. (127 mm). For optimum performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.5.

Guidelines for Using Paper

For the best result, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2 bond) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.

If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.

The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the machine:

NOTES:

•Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

•Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

•The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).
