Paper Recommendations

Loading Paper

❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and
cause a paper misfeed.
❒ When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them print
side down on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause them to
stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
❒ Set the paper as described below.
• Tray 1: Print side down
• Bypass Tray: Print side up
• Tray 2, Tray 3: Print side down
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if other than the recommended paper is
used. For details about recommended paper, contact your sales or service
representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.

Storing Paper

• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper can result
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations
are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.
