Print Media

Selecting Print Media

Satisfactory print and receive quality can be obtained with many types of plain paper. Since the quality of plain paper varies widely, test the print quality before buying large quantities of paper. Your machine uses a variety of papers including:

•Xerographic paper

•Bond paper

•Dual-purpose paper

Because all papers vary in physical characteristics, you can receive mixed results from different packages of paper even through the packages contain the same paper. If you encounter undesirable results, try the other side of the paper, a different type, or another package of the same kind of paper.

Selecting Media Types

Most photocopy paper, postcards, index cards, transparencies, envelopes, and labels will work your printer, particularly paper that is marked for use in laser printers. For the best results, use one of the papers developed especially for an laser printer.

What to Consider

•Desired outcome. The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project. For example, use greeting card paper when making party invitations.
