Plain Paper
Follow these guidelines when selecting paper:
❏
The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the
paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit
dangerous fumes at temperatures near 338ºF (170ºC). For example, do
not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make sure any letterhead or
colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.
❏
Make sure the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.
❏
Highly textured, or extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print
well.
❏
Damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams or poor
print quality.
For paper sizes other than letter, legal, and A4, be sure to use face-up
delivery. See page 4-10 for details.
Envelopes
Standard envelopes with diagonal seams and flaps are recommended.
Envelopes must meet the requirements listed for plain paper, as well as
the following:
❏
Envelopes must not contain clasps, fasteners, windows, or peel-off
adhesive strips for sealing.
❏
Envelopes must be empty. Do not put anything in the envelope prior
to printing.
❏
Envelopes must be flat and straight. Be sure to flatten out any curls or
wrinkles before printing.
When feeding envelopes, be sure to use face-up delivery. See page 4-10
for details.
