Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your machine. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate

for your project.

• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper

adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports print media weights as follows:

- 60 to 90 g/m

2

bond for the tray 1 and optional tray 2

- 60 to 163 g/m

2

bond for the multi-purpose tray

- 75 to 90 g/m

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce

sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how

crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Caution

Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered
by

Muratec's warranty and/or service agreements.

Notes

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section

and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result

of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity

levels, or other variables over which

Muratec has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it

meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
