4 ~ 5 % moisture content.
Store paper flat in its moisture-
proof wrapping.

Notes:
• 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 printer 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).
