•

Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress.

•

Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray.

•

Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the
stack on a level surface.

Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads

When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer:

•

Use grain long paper for best results.

•

Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or
engraved printing process.

•

Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed.

•

Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

•

Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic
copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225 °C (437 °F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

•

Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the
fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements;
latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Selecting Pre-Punched Paper

When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer:

•

Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large
quantities of pre-punched paper.

•

Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper
already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple
sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam.
