 For correct printing, you must choose the

same paper size from your software application as the paper in the tray.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the

paper immediately after printing.

 Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small

quantity to make sure the paper is suitable.

Important

Handling and using special paper 2

The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

 DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may

cause a paper jam or damage your machine.

 Preprinted paper must use ink that can

withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process 200 °C.

 If you use bond paper, paper with a rough

surface, or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.

Types of paper to avoid 2

Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.

DO NOT use paper:

• that is highly textured

• that is extremely smooth or shiny

• that is curled or warped

1 A curl of 2 mm or greater may cause

jams to occur.

• that is coated or has a chemical finish

• that is damaged, creased or folded

• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide

• with tabs and staples

• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography

• that is multipart or carbonless

• that is designed for inkjet printing
