Compatible Paper Types
You can use various types of paper.
z
Plain paper
This paper is normally used for copying and printing. Unlike inkjet plain paper or glossy paper, it is
uncoated.
z
Inkjet plain paper
This extra-white plain paper makes the printed colours appear more vivid. Since it does not have an ink-
absorbent coating, you can write on it and use it for photocopying, just like regular plain paper.
z
Glossy paper
This machine prints best on reduced-reflection glossy photo paper.
Paper for dye inks is not recommended because the machine's pigmented inks may not take properly to it or
may smear or rub off. Glossy photo paper can be used in this machine provided it is compatible with pig-
mented inks.
z
Inkjet transparency
Transparency film for equipment such as overhead projectors is designed for the pigmented inks used by
the machine. Film for plain paper copiers cannot be used because it does not absorb ink. Film for dye inks
is not recommended because the machine's pigmented inks may not take properly to it or may smear or rub
off. Transparency film can be used in this machine provided it is compatible with pigmented inks.
z
Envelopes
For details about the types of envelope that can be used, see Paper Handling Precautions.
z
Thick paper
For details about the types of thick paper that can be used, see Paper Handling Precautions.
z
All types of paper besides thick paper can be loaded in tray 1.
