Choosing Paper and Other Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.13. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the followings:

Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project.

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

Weight: Your printer supports paper weight as follows:

16~24 lbs (60~90 g/m2) bond for the 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 a material that does not conform to the specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.
