Choosing acceptable paper

We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and
types of paper) on the MFC before purchasing large quantities.
■
Avoid feeding label sheets that are partly used or your MFC will
be damaged.
■
Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
■
Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper, or paper with an
embossed letterhead.
For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially
for plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper
specifications, call your nearest authorized sales representative or
the place where you purchased your MFC.
■
Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in laser
printers.
■
For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained
paper.
■
If you are using special paper and the paper has problems
feeding from the paper tray, try again using the manual feed tray
or multi-purpose tray.
■
You can use recycled paper in this MFC.
