Page 191: Print Media Guidelines
Print Media Guidelines Print media can be paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the print media in Multipurpose Feeder (MPF) or Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI).
Page 192: Recommended Paper
unwrapped, even in the feeder, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and cause feeding problems regardless of humidity. When printing on curled paper, straighten the paper and then insert it into the MPF or PSI. Smoothness The degree of paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality.
Page 193: Unacceptable Paper
NOTE: Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When choosing any print media, you should consider the weight, fiber content, and color. Unacceptable Paper The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer: •...

– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars – Have an interlocking design – Have postage stamps attached – Have nicked edges or bent corners – Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers. When selecting labels: •...
Page 198: Storing Print Media
• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. It is recommended that zone coating of the adhesive is done at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty. CAUTION: Otherwise the printer occur in a jam and contaminate your printer and your cartridges with adhesive.
