For information about loading heavy paper, envelopes, labels,
or transparencies, see
‘Printing
on special paper” later in this
chapter.
Choosing paper
For best results, use paper made especially for laser printers
or plain-paper copiers. Paper should be of good quality and
relatively smooth with a weight between 16 and 24 lb (60 and
90 g/m 2 ). Because the printer is sensitive to moisture, always
store paper in a dry place.
You may use colored paper but not paper to which a clear or
colored coating has been added. For preprinted paper stock
such as letterheads, use papers and inks designed for laser
printers. Ordinary inks or dyes may smear or come off when
subjected to the high temperature of the fuser. Always test
samples of paper stock before purchasing large amounts.
Note:
The quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed
by the manufacturer at any time, so EPSON cannot guarantee any
particularone.
In addition, you can
print on special stock such as heavy
paper (greater than 24 lb or 90 g/m
2
), envelopes, labels, Or
transparencies. To do so, you need to feed single sheets one at a
time. See the next section “Printing on special paper.”
