Acceptable paper and
other print media
2
Print quality may vary according to the type of
paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print
media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper,
thicker paper, bond paper, recycled paper,
labels, envelopes or glossy paper (see Print
media on page 215).
For best results, follow these instructions:
 DO NOT load different types of paper in
the paper tray at the same time because it
may cause the paper to jam or misfeed.
 For correct printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.
 Avoid touching the printed surface of the
paper immediately after printing.
 Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small
quantity to make sure the paper is
appropriate for the machine.
 Use labels that are designed for use in
laser machines.
