Get the Right Paper

Your machine is designed to work well on most common office paper types and with quality 25% cotton bond paper. Because your printer uses toner to produce an image, paper that accepts toner produces the best results. Be sure to test a variety of paper types before buying large quantities.

Paper that Might Not Work

•Highly textured stock, such as linen, may not print evenly because the toner can bleed.

•Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for laser printers can jam the printer and repel toner.

•Multi-part forms, such as duplicate or triplicate forms can wrinkle and jam; the toner is also more likely to smear.

•Paper in poor condition — with tears, dust, wrinkles, curled or bent edges, or that doesn’t lie flat can jam the printer.

•Envelopes with thick or crooked edges; envelopes that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped; envelopes that are shiny or embossed; or envelopes with clasps or windows.

Selecting Media Sizes

The automatic paper feeder can hold up to 150 sheets of 20 lb. (75 g/m2) paper. The single-sheet manual feeder is designed to hold one sheet. Both can be adjusted to hold media measuring from 3 by 5 inches (76.2 by 127 mm) to

8.5by 14 inches (216 by 355.6 mm). This includes, but is not limited to, the following paper and envelope sizes:

• A4 :8.25 by 11.75 in; 210 by 297 mm

• A5 :5.82 by 8.25 in; 148 by 210 mm

• A6 :4.12 by 5.82 in; 105 by 148 mm
