Paper and envelope types

The manufacturer of this printer recommends the following
guidelines when selecting paper and envelopes for use in your
printer:
• Paper and envelopes should be stored flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Use a smooth finished paper such as copier or laser type
paper with a Sheffield (smoothness) rating of 250 or less. If
in doubt, please ask your paper supplier.
• Use paper and envelopes that are designed for use in laser
type printers.
• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously impact
on the life of the image drum.
• Do not use very smooth, shiny/glossy paper.
• Do not use heavily embossed headed paper.
• Do not use specially treated papers such as carbon paper,
non-carbon paper, thermal paper and impact paper.
• Avoid using paper with perforations, cut-outs and ragged
edges.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
• Do not use envelopes with self sealing flaps.
• Avoid using damaged or curled envelopes.
