Selecting and using media

Two conditions are necessary for the MFP to produce the best possible print quality:
•
using good-quality media that the MFP supports
•
setting the appropriate type for that media
Selecting high-quality media
This MFP accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that
affect MFP performance and print quality.
Selecting media by type and size at the control panel and in the printer driver results in significantly better print quality for
heavy paper and glossy paper. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for
special print media such as labels or transparencies. Always print by size for envelopes.
The MFP can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this manual. Paper that does
not meet these guidelines can cause the following problems:
•
poor print quality
•
jams and multiple-sheet feeds
•
premature wear on the MFP, requiring repair
