The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and 
bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print 
quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before 
purchasing large quantities to ensure that it provides the desired 
performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are: 
 

1. 

The Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be 
used in a laser printer. 

2. 

Preprinted paper must use inks that can withstand the temperature of 
the printer’s fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade) 

3. 

If you have selected a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough 
surface such as cockle or laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled 
or puckered, be aware that these types of paper may exhibit degraded 
performance. 

Note 

The manufacturer does not warrant the use of any particular paper. The 
operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.
