PRINT MEDIA
4.1
Choosing Paper and Other Media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See
“Paper Specification” on page A.2. To get the best possible
print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print media, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
• 16~24 lbs bond for the automatic input tray
• 16~43 lbs bond for the manual input tray
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large
quantities.
CAUTION: Using media that does not conform to the
specification listed in the paper specification can cause
problems that may require service. This service is not covered
by the warranty or service agreements.
