Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines
for use with your machine.
Guidelines to select the print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide
may cause the following problems:
•
Poor print quality
•
Increased paper jams
•
Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•
The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described in print media specifications. (See "Print media specifications"
•
Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
•
Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
•
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
•
Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of
improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which cannot be controlled.
•
Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it
meets the requirements specifications in this user’s guide and
meets your output requirements.
•
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by
the warranty or service agreements.
•
Using inflammable print media can cause a fire.
•
Use designated print media (See "Print media specifications" on
page 92).
The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the printer
may lead to overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a
fire.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type
used. (See "Print media specifications" on page 92.)
