Paper Type and Size
Satisfactory print and receive quality can be obtained with many types of plain paper. Since the quality of plain paper varies widely, test the print quality before buying large quantities of paper. Your machine uses a variety of papers including:
• Xerographic paper
• Bond paper
• Dual-purpose paper
Because all papers vary in physical characteristics, you can receive mixed results from different packages of paper even through the packages contain the same paper. If you encounter undesirable results, try the other side of the paper, a different type, or another package of the same kind of paper.
DO NOT use the following types of paper with your machine:
• Continuous form feed paper
• Synthetic paper
• Thermal paper
• Multi-sheet forms and documents
• Chemically treated paper
• Papers with raised, embossed lettering
To load paper with a preferred print side:
• If you are using xerographic paper, load the paper with the preferred print side facing down.
• If you are using letterhead or bond paper, load the paper with the preferred side facing up.
The following papers can be used in your machine for fax:
• Letter : 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11.0 in.) - 60 g/m

~ 90 g/m2(16 ~ 24 lb)
