:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in
some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any
colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing
temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).
Symptom Problem with Paper Solution
Poor print quality or toner
adhesion, problems with
feeding
Too moist, too rough, too
smooth or embossed; faulty
paper lot
Try another kind of paper,
between 100 ~ 400 Sheffield, 4
~ 5 % moisture content.
Dropout, jamming, curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moisture-
proof wrapping.
Increased gray background
shading/machine wear
Too heavy Use lighter paper, use the rear
output slot.
Excessive curl problems with
feeding
Too moist, wrong grain
direction or short-grain
construction
• Use the rear output slot.
• Use long-grain paper.
Jamming, damage to
machine
Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or
