RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and
sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of
media, and explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed
for use in copiers and laser printers.
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery
Envelopes
Envelopes should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.
Transparencies
Transparencies should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.
Labels
Labels should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.
CAUTION!
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing
process.
Continued use of pre-printed stationery may cause the paper feed
performance to degrade over time and paper jams may occur.
Clean the paper feed rollers as described on page 81.
CAUTION!
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular “peel and seal” type, with
glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing
used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.
CAUTION!
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers
and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies
designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the
fuser and cause damage.
CAUTION!
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers
and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely
covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the
printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.
