    General Guidelines General Guidelines The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
  • Page 123: Selecting The Right Paper

    General Guidelines Selecting the Right Paper Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high- quality printing paper matching the printer’s requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently.
