Paper Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media,
keep these guidelines in mind:
¥ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can
cause paper jams and poor print quality.
¥ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
¥ Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with
embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too
rough.
¥ Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy
paper. The pigments must withstand the printerÕs fusing temperature
of 392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use
paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was
produced.
¥ Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant
inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subject to the printerÕs approximately 392 oF (200 oC) fusing
temperature for 0.1 second.
¥ Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on
pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top
of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away
from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
¥ During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.
¥ Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed
under ÔSpecificationsÕ on page 4.7.
¥ When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes
with sharp, and well creased folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
