Understanding paper and specialty media
guidelines
Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. The last four are sometimes referred to as specialty
media. The MFP provides high quality printing on a variety of media. A number of things must be considered concerning
media before printing. This chapter provides information on making media selections and caring for media.
• Supported print media
• Selecting print media
• Storing print media

We recommend that you try a limited sample of any paper or specialty media you are considering using with the MFP
