Page 11: Media Recommendations
Media Recommendations Your printer can handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies, labels and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice and use of media. Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second.
Page 12: Media Types
– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges. – Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper. ES 1220n Media Recommendations • 12 ® Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US Bond (90...
Page 13: Envelopes
Envelopes • Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302: see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media” in your Handy Reference Guide for more information). • Envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. • Don’t use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
Page 14: Transparencies
Transparencies • Use only recommended transparencies (3M CG3720, Oki 52205701). • Avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage. Labels • Avery 5161 White Laser Labels (letter size) work well with your printer.
