Guidelines for using media

You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled-fiber-content paper),
envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size media. The following are the supported media sizes:

Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)

Maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches)

Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer
performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media that is
designed for laser printers.

NOTE

Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities.

Media to avoid

Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper.

Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.

Media that can damage the printer
