Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the
specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page 9.9.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.
Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture
that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are 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.
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
o
C and
30
o
C (59
o
F to 86
o
F). The relative humidity should be
between 10 % and 70 %.
• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as
any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture
from contaminating your paper.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser
printers.
To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label
sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints out.
• For envelopes:
- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well
creased folds.
- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• For transparencies:
- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time.
Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty
printing.
- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and
coated paper carefully.
