Paper Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media,
keep these guidelines in mind:
¥ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can
cause paper jams and poor print quality.
¥ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
¥ Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with
embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too
rough.
¥ Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printerÕs fusing
temperature of 392
Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the
paper was produced.
¥ Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-
resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the printerÕs approximately 392
o
C) fusing temperature for 0.1 seconds.
¥ Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 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 those listed
under ÔSpecificationsÕ on page 33.
¥ When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes
with sharp, and well creased folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
- DO NOT use envelopes with affixed stamps.
