Print Media Guidelines

Print media refers to paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting

the appropriate print media for your printer helps you avoid printing problems.

Paper

For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before

buying large quantities.

When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. See

Using the Bypass Tray

for detailed loading instructions.

Paper Characteristics

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Use the following guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

NOTE:

Please follow the instructions on the paper packaging for a preferred printing side. Printing on the wrong side may cause some paper

misalignment on the paper output tray.

Weight

The printer automatically feeds paper weights from 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 lb bond) grain long in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and from 60 to 90

g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long in the paper tray. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best

performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) long grain paper.

For duplex printing, use 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb bond) paper.
