Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
Important
❒ Do not use paper that is meant for an ink-jet printer or it may stick to the Fus-
ing Unit and cause a paper misfeed.
❒ When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it with the
print side over on the Bypass Tray. Not taking this precaution may cause it to
stick to the Fusing Unit and cause a misfeed.
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if recommended paper is not used. For de-
tails about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing Paper
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might re-
sult in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommenda-
tions are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.
