Paper Recommendations

Note the following suggestions when handling or selecting paper used with this
printer.
Loading paper
Important
Do not use paper that is meant for an ink-jet printer or it may stick to the fus-
ing unit and cause a paper misfeed.
When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it with the
print side down onto the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause it
to stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
• Use only the recommended paper types. Print quality cannot be guaranteed
if other paper types are used. ⇒ P.28 "Paper not supported by this printer"
• Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing paper
Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage.
Recommendations are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.
