Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m
2
) paper. Ensure that the
paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles,
dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or
recycled paper, check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even
damage to the machine:
NOTE:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as
those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make
sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are
compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).
