Handling and using special paper

The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in a color laser machine.

Preprinted paper must use inks that can withstand the temperature of the machine's fusing process (392 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade for a period of 0.1 seconds).

If you have selected a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface, such as cockle or laid finished paper or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.
