Colored paper
●
Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
●
Pigments used in colored media must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 190°
C (374°F) for 0.1 second without deterioration.
●
The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to
produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of the paper will affect the shades of the printed
colors.
Envelopes

(24 lb bond).
●

Labels
NOTE
For printing labels, set the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See
