Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
•Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper. Avoid paper with
embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too
smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.
• 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 it away from moisture, or other conditions
that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as
any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture
from contaminating your paper.
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the
specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page B.6.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased
folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser
printers.
•To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label
sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints
out.
• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them
from the machine.
• Do not leave transparencies in the paper tray for long periods
of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in
spotty printing.
•To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle
transparencies and coated paper carefully.
•To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
o
C and
30
o
C (59
o
F to 86
o
F). The relative humidity should be
between 10 % and 70 %.
•Verify that your labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing
temperature of 200
o
C (392
o
F) for 0.1 second.
