Paper recommendations
For guidance on the media you can use with your printer,
which input tray and which ejection method to use, see the
section entitled “Paper and tray information” in the
“Specifications” chapter.
Paper and envelope types
We recommends the following guidelines when selecting paper
and envelopes for use in your printer:
• Paper and envelopes should be stored flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Use a smooth finished paper such as copier or laser type
paper with a Sheffield (smoothness) rating of 250 or
less. If in doubt, please ask your paper supplier.
• Use envelopes designed for use in laser type printers.
• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously
affect the life of the image drum.
• Do not use very smooth, shiny/glossy paper.
• Do not use heavily embossed letterhead paper.
• Avoid printing on both sides and putting paper through
the printer twice.
• Avoid using paper with perforations, cut-outs and ragged
edges.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
• Do not use envelopes with self sealing flaps.
• Avoid using damaged or curled envelopes.
