Appendix D: Selecting Print Media
Selecting Paper and Media
The NEC SuperScript 660plus printer supports a wide
variety of print media.
Choosing quality paper is your best bet for avoiding
many of the output problems common to heat-
intensive printing. It 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 mentions products that have consistently
demonstrated high quality. This chapter shows you
how to recognize quality media products. It has
detailed specifications for print materials, and how to
handle and store them.
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 NEC SuperScript 660plus printer.
Note the following media guidelines:
•
Check that the media meets the detailed
specifications noted in this chapter.
•
Order a small quantity to test with your printer
and your work environment. Some paper vendors
offer print quality guarantees to insure that the
output meets a predetermined standard when used
with laser printers. If you do not like the paper,
you may be able to return it for another type, but
test that one, too.
You must judge the quality and performance of any

paper. We strongly recommend that you test several
reams of paper for SuperScript 660plus compatibility
before you make a large purchase.
•
Tell both your supplies buyer and the prospective
seller that you are using these media in a laser
printer.
Care of Printer Supplies
Use the following precautions when handling printer
supplies — toner module, photoconductor module,
and paper.
Avoid storing the supplies in any of the following
places:
•
A place subject to direct sunlight. (The
photoconductor module should not be exposed to
any light, incandescent or fluorescent.)
•
A hot place with an open flame
•
A humid place
•
A dusty place
Paper that is not loaded in the printer tray, but has
been removed from its wrapper, should be stored in a
sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.
Use only the toner module and toner that have been
designed for the exclusive use of this printer.
Keep supplies out of the reach of children.
