Selecting Print Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, and etc.. Always use print
materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.
See “Paper Specifications” on page D.6. 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 lb (60 ~ 90 g/m2) bond for the standard paper
tray (Tray 1) and optional paper tray (Tray 2)
- 16 ~ 43 lb (60 ~ 163 g/m2) bond for the Multipurpose
tray
• 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.
