Epson Action Laser II - Manual (Page 111)

Choosing Paper
Standard office paper-You can use the printer’s paper cassette to
feed most types of 16 to 24-1b (60- to 90-g/m 2 ) paper. This typically
includes such paper as copier paper, cotton bond, and letterhead. If
you feed paper manually one sheet at a time through the manual
feed slot, you can use up to 42-1b (157-g/m 2 ) paper.
For best results, use paper made especially for laser printers. Paper
made for plain-paper copiers is also a good choice.
If you want to use less expensive paper, test it thoroughly before
regular use. Paper should be of good quality and relatively smooth.
Also keep in mind that if the paper is textured or too rough, the
printed output may not be as clear.
Some letterheads use inks or dyes that may smear or come off when
subjected to the high temperatures of the fuser. Try a few sheets
before you print
on
letterhead or other special paper.
Be sure to load letterhead and forms face down in the paper cassette.
Special paper-You can use colored paper as long as it meets the
weight limits given above for standard office paper. Do not,
however, use coated paper (paper to which a clear or colored coating
has been added).
Labels-Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper
copiers in your printer.
To prevent the adhesive from
coming
in
contact
with the printer
parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet so
that there are
no
gaps between the individual labels.
You should also test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing
a sheet of paper on top of the sheet of labels. If the paper sticks at all,
do not use the labels.
Other materials-You
can
use overhead projector transparencies
and adhesive drafting film if they are made for use with plain-paper
copiers or laser printers.
