NOTE: You can use A4, Letter, Folio, Oficio, Legal-sized paper for duplex printing.
Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good
quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or
bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the
label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the
printer:
NOTE: Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
NOTE: Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
NOTE: The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Ensure that any colored paper
or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (180° C or 356° F for
0.1 second).
