Paper Handling
Paper Handling
Using paper that is unsuitable for printing can cause paper jams and deteriorate print quality.
We recommend using the types of paper listed below to obtain the best results from your
printer.
Selecting Print Media
Your printer can print on a variety of media, including plain paper, labels, transparencies, and
envelopes. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with this printer. Print media
that is not recommended for use with this printer may cause frequent paper jams or poor print
quality.
NOTE: Expect a slight reduction in image quality when you print on envelopes, labels, transparencies, or
postcards.
Specialty Paper
In addition to plain paper, you can use the following types of specialty paper.
• Monochrome transparency sheets (no white border)
• Label sheets (uncut)
• Envelopes
• Postcards
• Card stock (max. density 80lb. (216 g/m
2
))
• Coated paper
• Glossy paper
• When printing on rigid cardboard, the image position may shift.
• When printing on coated or glossy paper, feed the sheets one at a time. Moisture can
cause the sheets to stick together causing more than one sheet to be fed, which can
result in malfunction or damage.
• Do not use envelopes that have a tape seals on the adhesive of the flap. You can use
pre-glued envelopes if the adhesive on the flap is dry.
• Using postcards that have already been printed to on one side and are warped can
cause paper jams. Flatten warped postcards with your hands before loading them. We
do not recommend printing on multicolored postcards.
