Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels,

with your machine.

Guidelines for select the print media

Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user's guide may
cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine's performance and the output quality.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• The type, size, and weight of the print media for your machine are described
in print media specifications (see "Print media specifications" on page 105).
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper,
more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp
the printing looks on the paper.
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this user's guide and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the sheets
characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
