Guidelines for the paper
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multiparty paper.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed
lettering, perforations, or textures that are too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy
paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of
392
o
F (200
o
C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper
with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
• Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant
inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subject to the printer’s approximately 392
o
F (200
o
C) fusing temperature
for 0.1 second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until 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 paper away from
moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• During storage, moisture-proof wraping (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your
paper.
• Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed under
‘Specifications’ on page 4.7.
• When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes with
sharp, and well creased folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
