Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR)

forms

In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software application to successfully print on these forms.

Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers

Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19 309

Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)

Letterhead

For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before

buying large quantities.

When loading letterhead, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly.

Paper Characteristics

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 230°C (446°F). For Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) applications and for non-MICR

applications, use only letterhead able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the

manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
