Printing Paper

Note

Do not use the following types of paper to avoid reduced print quality, a
misfeed or print failure.

• Paper already used in a thermal transfer printer or ink jet printer.
• Paper that is too thin or too thick.
• Paper folded, curled or torn.
• Paper having binding holes or perforations.
• Paper with surfaces that are too smooth or too rough or with varying

surfaces.

• Paper having special coatings on their surfaces such as carbon paper,

heat-sensitive paper and pressure-sensitive paper.

• Sheets of various sizes.
• Paper not cut on right angles.
• Paper bound by glue, staples or clips.
• Paper affixed with labels which are easy to peel.
• Post cards that are warped or bent.

Envelopes should meet the following requirement:

• Sharp folds and edges.
• General mailing envelopes without seals on the glued portion.
• Having flags the full width of the envelope (unacceptable if the flap is

glued).

• Wrinkle-free, no fasteners.

Generally, envelopes perform well, but some types may wrinkle. We
strongly recommend testing and type of envelope before buying it in
large amounts.
