Media to Avoid

Use the following guidelines to avoid poor print quality or damage to
your printer:

Do not use paper that is too rough.

Do not use paper that is embossed or coated unless it is
specifically recommended for use in this printer.

Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard
3-hole punched paper.

Do not use multipart forms.

Do not use paper with irregularities such as tabs or staples.

Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or
thermography. Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that
can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or
that melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to 190° C (374° F)
for 0.1 second.

Do not use paper that has already been printed on or that has
been fed through a photocopier.

Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid
patterns.
