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 result
in paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. Do not 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. Pigments must withstand the printer's fusing temperature of 392
F (200
C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a
o
o
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, vapourize, or release hazardous emissions when
subjected to the printer's fusing temperature (approximately 392
C) for 0.1 second.
o
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are 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 not. Keep paper
away from moisture or other conditions that can cause wrinkling or
curling.
• During storage, use moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)
to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating the paper.
• Always use paper and other materials that conform to those listed on
page 2.3.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps or snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-stick
adhesives or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• For best results, use high quality 75g/m
(20 lb) photocopy paper.
