Paper and specialty media guide
•
Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large quantities. This
determines whether or not the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead will affect print quality.
•
When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
•
For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent. Most
label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity
between 40 and 60 percent.
•
Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
•
Store individual packages on a flat surface.
•
Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
•
Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper
help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.

Supported paper sizes, types, and weights

The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper sources and the sizes, types, and weights of

100‑sheet multipurpose feeder. The 550‑sheet tray of the 650‑sheet duo drawer supports the same paper sizes
as the optional 550‑sheet tray. The integrated multipurpose feeder supports different paper sizes, types, and
weights.
• Some printer models may not support the optional 550-sheet tray.
