Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
page 34
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too
smooth or too rough
- Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.
Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells,
and damage to your printer.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place
cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy
objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep
it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or
curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15
relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your
paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the manual tray to
avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Guidelines for special print media

MEDIA TYPE
Envelopes
C. The
GUIDELINES
• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the
quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes,
consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should
2
not exceed 90 g/m or jamming may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should
lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should not
contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
- Temperature: You should use envelopes that are
compatible with the heat and pressure of the
machine during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and
well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows,
coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic
materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope
extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with
more than one flap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the machine's fusing
temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine's
specification to view the fusing temperature, see
page 86. The extra flaps and strips might cause
wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage
the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer
than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope's
seams meet.
