Selecting Paper and Pre-printed Forms
v Use only a high-quality xerographic paper from chemically pulped wood
for optimum paper performance and print quality, and store it according to
the manufacturers recommendations.
v Recycled paper can be successfully used in your printer. Make sure that the
recycled paper contains chemically pulped wood and has been designed for
use in electrophotographic or laser printers.
v Make sure the paper is free of nicks and cuts, curled or bent edges, ragged
edges, and loose dust.
v Keep your paper stored in its moisture-proof wrapping according to the
manufacturers recommendations.
v The paper should lie flat, with less than 0.25 inch (6 mm) of curl, or
jamming may result.
v Your printer can print on pre-punched paper. Please note the labels on the
printer trays indicating recommended orientation. The pre-punched paper
should be free of interlocked edges around the pre-punched holes. Do not
use paper with cutouts or perforations larger than 8 mm or with
pre-punched holes in non-standard locations.
v Do not use letterhead papers that are printed with low-temperature inks.
Use only colored papers or pre-printed forms that are compatible with your
printers fusing temperature of 392°F (200°C).
v Do not use paper that is very rough, very smooth, or embossed. Such paper
may cause feeding or print quality problems. Very rough paper may have
poor toner adhesion.
v The following types of paper are not recommended for use in your printer:
duplicator papers, mimeo papers, carbonless papers, coated papers, highly
electrically conductive papers, and papers with talc, wax, stearates, or
plasticizers.
Selecting Adhesive Labels
v Only use plain paper labels recommended for use in electrophotographic or
laser printers. Store them according to the manufacturers
recommendations.
v Specify LABEL as the media type for the tray in the Paper Menu. See
Defining the Media Size and Type for a Tray on page 47.
v The label adhesive material must be stable at 392°F (200°C). Do not use
labels that emit hazardous emissions when heated.
