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: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper,
bond paper, recycled paper, transparencies,
labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

„

Use paper made for plain paper copying.

„

Use paper that is 16 to 28 lb (60 to
105 g/m

2

).

„

Use labels and transparencies which are
designed for use in laser machines.

„

DO NOT put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

„

For proper 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.

„

When you use transparencies remove
each sheet immediately to prevent
smudging or paper jams.

„

Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph
value, and a moisture content of approx.
5%.
