Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper.
Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks,
tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled
or bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such
as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations,
jamming or even damage to the printer.
N
OTES
:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature
inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the
paper. Ensure that any colored paper or preprinted forms
use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature
(180 °C or 356 °F for 0.1 second).
