About paper
The print quality of your document can be affected by the kind of
paper you use in the machine.
To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always
set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper,
transparencies and envelopes.
We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large
quantities.
For best results, use the recommended paper.
Handling and using special paper
■
Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the
paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
■
The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the
shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing
up toward you.
■
Avoid touching either side of transparencies, because they
absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause
decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser
printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only
transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies
and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the
“Basic” tab in the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting in the
menu (
Menu/Set , 1 , 2 ).
Also avoid stacking by removing each page after it exits the
machine to avoid smudging.
