Paper Handling
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 9
*Only use index cards that are 0.18 mm to 0.28 mm thick.
Plain Paper
Follow these guidelines when selecting paper:
❏ Paper that is too thick or too thin, or that has irregular shapes, cutouts,
or perforations should not be used.
❏ Never use paper that is wet, highly textured, rough, torn, wrinkled, or
damaged.
❏ Extremely smooth paper or paper with special coatings does not print
well.
❏ The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the
paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit
dangerous fumes at about 190˚ C (374˚ F).
❏ Do not use thermal or carbon paper, or paper with glue, staples, clips,
or ribbons.
For colored paper, use colors that are not damaged by the heat of the
printer’s fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F).
Transparencies
The acceptable sizes are Letter or A4. The transparencies must be able to
withstand the heat generated by the fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or
374˚ F) without damage.
