Selecting Paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using.
This information is usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in
jams.
• Do not use coated papers.
• Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not
support auto size sensing.
• Do not remove trays while a job is printing.
• Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the source.
• Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a
level surface.
Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the
printer:
• Use long grain papers for best results.
• Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved
printing process.
• Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been designed for use in
xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without melting
or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or
the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these
requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterheads must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180°C
(356°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
