Print Media That Can Damage Your Printer
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
•
Chemically treated paper used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
paper, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.
•
Preprinted paper with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
•
Preprinted paper that can be affected by the temperature in the fuser unit.
•
Preprinted paper that requires a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than
±0.09 inches, such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms.
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on
these forms.
•
Coated paper (erasable bond), synthetic paper, and thermal paper.
•
Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface paper, or curled paper.
•
Recycled paper containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that does not meet DIN 19 309.
•
Multiple-part forms or documents.
•
Print quality may deteriorate (blank spaces or blotches may appear in the text) when you print on
talc or acid paper.
WARNING:
•
Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.
When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.
