Acceptable paper and other print media

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, thicker paper, bond paper,
recycled paper, labels, envelopes or Glossy paper (see Print media on page 189).
For best results, follow the instructions below:
 DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams
or misfeeds.
 For correct printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in
the tray.
 Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.
 Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is appropriate for the
machine.
