When feeding OHP film, the use of a recommended type for laser
printers will ensure optimum printing. For detailed information on the

PAPER
The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and
bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print
quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before buying
to ensure that it provides acceptable performance. Some important
guidelines when selecting paper are:
1. Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used
in a laser printer.
2. Preprinted papers must use inks that can withstand the temperature of
the printers fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade)
3. If selecting a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface such as
cockle or laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled or puckered,
these may exhibit degraded performance.
