Selecting Print Media
3-4 DocuPrint P1202 Reference Guide
Basic Guidelines
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 multipart paper.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with
embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is 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 400
o
F (205
o
C) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was
added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable,
heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s
approximately 400
o
F (205
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 it away from moisture, or other conditions
that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
