Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
• 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 down
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing up
• Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing down
• 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.
