Printing

Do not print on sheets of label stock that have labels removed.

Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes single-sided only.

Do not overload the paper trays.

Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.

Media That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of paper and media types for print and copy jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Do not use the following:

Rough or porous media

Inkjet paper

Non-laser glossy or coated paper

Paper that has been photocopied

Paper that has been folded or wrinkled

Paper with cutouts or perforations

Stapled paper

Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips

Padded envelopes

Plastic media other than supported transparencies

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.

Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items.

The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper should be reduced as much as possible.

Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect moisture.

Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. For most commercial-cut size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.
