Choosing Paper and Media
Choosing quality paper is the most effective measure you
can take to achieve consistently good results from your
printer.
Although we do not endorse particular manufacturers. This
chapter shows you how to recognize quality media products
and gives detailed specifications for print materials.
Note:
Because we cannot control the quality or
manufacturing of your selected media, we cannot
warrant the use or results of any specific media with the
SuperScript 950C printer.
You must judge the quality and performance of any paper.
Test any paper for compatibility with your SuperScript 950C
printer before you make a large purchase.
Note the following media guidelines.
• Check that the media meets all specifications noted in
this chapter.
• Order a small quantity to test with your printer and
your work environment.
• Transparencies should have a single sheet of plain paper
as a backing.

Care of Printer paper
Use the following precautions when handling printer paper.
Avoid storing the paper in any of the following places:
•A place subject to direct sunlight
•A hot place with an open flame
•A humid place
•A dusty place
In addition to the recommended paper, you may also use
generic paper as long as it meets the printer paper
specifications of size and weight. When using the Main
Paper Tray the weight should be (16 to 53lbs), If the Input/
Output Tray is used the weight should not exceed (16 to
40lbs). Try samples of the generic paper to determine if the
printer performance and print quality are acceptable to you.
Paper jams or poor print quality may result from using print
media that is not recommended for use in this printer or
from print media that is damaged.
Do not use media with the following characteristics
• Paper that does not meet the size and weight (16 lb to
• 53 lb) specifications of this printer
• Paper that is wrinkled, curled, torn, or bent
• Paper that is wet
• Paper that is extremely rough or heavily textured
