QMS Magicolor WX User Manual page 91

Your print quality depends in large part on the quality of the media.
You can get sharper contrast on printed pages by using special laser
printer media, which is available from a variety of manufacturers. This
paper is thicker, smoother, and whiter than copier paper and gives
your page a more professional appearance.
The printer accommodates plain or laser paper, transparencies, and
labels. You can also print on envelopes and thicker stocks (24–43 lbs
2
[90–163 g/m ]). Conventional copier paper is adequate for most appli-
cations. Copier paper has a smooth, clean surface, controlled electri-
cal properties, and heat stability. This assures good image transfer
without excessive curling of the paper.
You can use special paper, such as bond paper, often used for statio-
nery, for special applications. However, textured paper may result in
uneven toner placement and print quality may vary. You may want to
do a test run before printing a large quantity. Colored paper may also
be used, but not paper with a colored coating applied. "Print Media
Types, Weights, and Recommended Brands" on page 2-54 contains
additional paper specifications.
