Paper Selection

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible
printing performance of your machine is to select the correct paper. Your
machine produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers, including
cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet
papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be
sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Paper Types

Plain Paper
The machine supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait
orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and
typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or
damaged edges.
Inkjet Paper
This paper has been developed specifically for printing with inkjet printers.
It will produce high quality documents which will compare favorably to
those produced with a laser printer.
Coated Paper
The coated paper has been developed for high quality printing with minimal
or no smearing or running when in contact with water or damp surfaces,
making it a good choice for damp or rainy environments.
