Print Media Guidelines

• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This

may result in a paper jam.

• Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the MPF.
• Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the

stack on a level surface.

Selecting Preprinted Media and Letterhead

When selecting preprinted media and letterhead paper for the printer:

• Use grain long paper for best results.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or

engraved printing process.

• Select paper that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
• Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic

copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225°C (437°F) without

melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

• Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the

fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these

requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper

supplier.

Printing on Letterhead

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the pre-printed

letterhead you have selected is acceptable for laser printers.
