l Do not use coated papers.
l Remember to change the paper size setting when using a source that does not support auto size sensing.
l Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed on the operator panel.
l Ensure the paper is properly loaded in the source.
l Before purchasing large quantities of paper, it is recommended that initially a small quantity be purchased, and tested in the printer to verify suitable
results.
l Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
l Use long grain paper for best results.
l Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
l Choose papers that absorb ink but do not bleed.
l Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures up to 180° C (356° F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Oxidation-set or oil-based inks
should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
Preprinted papers, such as letterhead, must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180° C (356° F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
Printing on Letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine if the preprinted letterhead you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
