v "2000-Sheet Input Drawer Paper Specifications" on page 30
Notes:
1. Some print media, although they conform to size and weight specifications, may
still function poorly in your printer. Print quality, jam rates, and output stacking
can be affected by the printing environment (temperature and humidity) and
other characteristics of the paper itself (for example, structure, moisture content,
smoothness, or thickness). IBM recommends you test small amounts of print
media using your printing application in your current operating environment
before you purchase large quantities of the media or you print large volumes.
For more information about paper specifications see IBM Page Printers Paper
Reference Booklet, G544-3178, or IBM Advanced Function Printer Cut Sheet
Paper Reference for Use with IBM Electrophotographic Printers, G544-3915.
2. The following media weights are supported:
v Paper trays: 16-28 pound (60-105 grams/meter²)
v Envelope tray: 16-28 pound (60-105 grams/meter²)
v Auxiliary tray:
– Paper, labels, transparencies, envelopes: 60-135 grams/meter²
– Japanese Official Postcard: 190 grams/meter²
v 2000-Sheet Input Drawer: 16-28 pound paper (60-105 grams/meter²)
3. Do not use the following types of paper and printable material in your printer:
v Multipart forms
v Stapled, folded, or wrinkled paper
v Smooth or coated paper
4. Use the auxiliary tray to print transparencies or labels. Do not feed these types
of print media from the paper trays. See "Selecting Labels and Transparencies".
5. Some recycled papers release paper dust that can accumulate and cause
frequent paper jams and reduced supplies life.
6. High humidity can damage paper. Try to store paper where it is cool and dry.
Labels and transparencies can be loaded only in the auxiliary tray.
Labels
Printer performance with labels will vary depending on:
v Weight of the label stock
v Label stock component materials (liner, adhesive, face stock)
v Perforations
Printer damage can result from use of incompatible label stock. For this reason, you
should contact the label manufacturer to ensure that the label stock is laser printer
compatible, and that the labels will not detach or shift when exposed to 235°C
(455°F) temperatures in the fuser. Before using the labels, test a sample sheet of
the label stock to ensure that the following do not occur:
v Labels detach or shift position
v Printer emits an unusual odor while printing on the label stock
v Toner does not adhere properly to the face of the labels
v Label adhesive contaminates the printer
If any of the above occur, do not use the label stock in your printer. Ask your label
supplier for a label stock that is compatible with the printer.
