Paper Recommendations

Loading Paper

Important

❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and

cause a paper misfeed.

❒ When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with

the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.

❒ Set the paper as described below

• Tray 1: Print side facing up

• Bypass Tray: Print side facing down

• Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing up

❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended

is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.

❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.

Storing Paper

• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows:

• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.

• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.

• Store on a flat surface.

• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.
