Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is
of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles,
voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled
paper, check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage
to the machine:
N OTES :
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in
some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored
paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature
(200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).
