Choosing Paper and 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. Using
the NEC Premium papers described above will ensure good results. Generally, paper manufactured for
photocopying has good print quality and paper handling characteristics. Smoother surface paper generates
sharper output resolution and detail. Try samples of any paper to determine if the printer performance and print
quality are acceptable to you.
When purchasing paper
• Check that the media meets all 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 ensure 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.
• Tell the supplies buyer, the prospective seller, and commercial letterhead printer that you will be using this
media in a laser printer.
note:
NEC offers a media sampler. One is included in the Starter kit that comes with your printer.
Storing Printer Supplies
Avoid storing printer supplies, such as Toner Modules and paper in direct sunlight, near an open flame, or in
humid or dusty places. Only use Toner Modules that have been designed exclusively for use with this printer.
