Selecting paper
Paper guidelines
Use the appropriate paper to prevent jams and help ensure trouble‑free printing.
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is usually
indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
For more information, see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics aect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before printing on
them.
Page 12
Learn about the printer12
Weight
Trays can feed paper of varying weights. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may not be
properly, and may cause jams. For more information, see the “Supported paper weights” topic.
enough to feed
sti
Curl
Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl can
occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper
unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions can contribute to paper curling before printing and can cause
feeding problems.
Smoothness
Paper smoothness directly aects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper
is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. We recommend the use of paper with 50
Sheeld
points.
Moisture content
The amount of moisture in paper aects both print quality and the printer ability to feed the paper correctly.
Leave paper in its original wrapper until you use it. Exposure of paper to moisture changes can degrade its
performance.
Before printing, store paper in its original wrapper for 24 to 48 hours. The environment in which the paper is
stored must be the same as the printer . Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation
environment is very dierent from the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning
period.
Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long which runs the
length of the paper, or grain short which runs the width of the paper. For recommended grain direction, see the
“Supported paper weights” topic.
Fiber content
Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100 percent chemically treated pulped wood. This content
provides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print
quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively aect paper handling.
Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers that are used to make copies without carbon paper. They are also known as
carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.
• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
• Preprinted papers that can be aected by the temperature in the printer fuser.
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm
(±0.09 in.). For example, optical character recognition (OCR) forms.
Sometimes, registration can be adjusted with a software app to print successfully on these forms.
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, or thermal papers.
Page 13
Learn about the printer13
• Rough‑edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers.
• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European).
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb).
• Multiple‑part forms or documents.
Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing.
• Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very dierent from the printer
environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent.
• Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative
humidity between 40 and 60 percent.
• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and
wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
• Use grain long paper.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an oset lithographic or engraved printing process.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
• Use inks that are not aected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet
these requirements; latex inks might not.
• Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large quantities. This
action determines whether the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead aects print quality.
• When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
• When printing on letterhead, load the paper in the proper orientation for your printer. For more information,
see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.

Statement of Volatility
Type of memoryDescription
Volatile memoryThe printer uses standard random access memory (RAM)
to buer temporarily user data during simple print and
copy jobs.
Nonvolatile memoryThe printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:
EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types store the
operating system, printer settings, and network
information. They also store scanner and bookmark
settings and embedded solutions.
Hard disk storage driveSome printers may have a hard disk drive installed. The
printer hard disk is designed for printer-specific
functionality. The hard disk lets the printer retain buered
user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font
data.
Intelligent storage drive (ISD)Some printers may have an ISD installed. ISD uses non-
volatile flash memory to store user data from complex
print jobs, form data, and font data.
Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:
• The printer is decommissioned.
• The printer hard disk or ISD is replaced.
• The printer is moved to a dierent department or location.
• The printer is serviced by someone from outside your organization.
• The printer is removed from your premises for service.
• The printer is sold to another organization.
Note: To dispose a storage drive, follow the policies and procedures of your organization.
