Acceptable paper and 

other print media

2

Print quality may vary according to the type of 
paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print 
media: plain 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 20 to 24 lb (75 to 
90 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%.
