Selecting

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, relatively smooth, and

readily available. Also, keep in mind that if the paper is textured or

too rough, your printed output

may not

be as clear.

Do not use paper that is sensitive to silicon oil.

Special paper — You

can

use colored or three-hole punched paper

as long as it meets the weight limits given above for standard office

paper. However, do not use coated paper.
Labels

— Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper

copiers in your printer. When printing labels, you should use the

faceup output tray; this keeps the labels from curling or coming off

their backing

sheet.

(Face-up printing is described in the section on

paper delivery choices.)
To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with printer

parts, use only labels that completely cover the backing

sheet so that

there are no gaps.

You should also test

the

label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing

an ordinary sheet of paper on top of a

sheet

of labels. If

the

paper

sticks at all, the labels should not be used.

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. These materials should be ejected faceup

into the face-up paper tray.
