Paper and Other Media

Media Guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media please adhere to these guidelines:

!Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

!Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

!Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

!During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

!Always use paper and other media that conform with the specifications detailed in “General Specifications” on page 12-6.

!Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds:

-DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

-DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

-DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

!It is recommended that you feed special paper types one sheet at a time.

!Only use the special media recommended for use in laser printers.

!To prevent special media such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them from the exit tray as they are printed.

!Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.

!Do not leave the film in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty printing.

!To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies and coated paper carefully.

!To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

!Store unused media at temperatures between 59oF and 86oF (15oC to 30oC). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

!Do not load more than 10 sheets of special media into the Bypass Tray at a time.
