Introduction

This chapter describes media guidelines, sizes, types, and handling
as well as creating double-sided output.

Media Specifications

Always use appropriate media, storing and handling it carefully to
prevent damage to it or the printer. This section covers selecting
media and describes its types and sizes.

Guidelines for Selecting and Storing Media

To prevent jams and print quality problems, use media that
• can withstand a temperature of 302˚ F (150˚ C). Preprinted inks,
such as letterheads, that cannot withstand these temperatures can
damage the printer's fusing rollers permanently.
• meets weight and media type requirements for the media source.
See "Loading Media" later in this chapter.
Do not use media that
• is unusually thick or thin, wrinkled, torn, curled, creased, wet,
damp, or otherwise damaged.
• is special coated, synthetically reinforced, colored with surface
treatment, or heavily textured.
• has metal clasps, strings, staples, cutouts, perforations, or
windows.
• has exposed adhesives or is a partial sheet of labels or a sheet on
which the glue has soaked through the labels.
