Handling Paper
3-7
Whiteness
: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness
of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.
Quality control
: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged
edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause
the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier
should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not
occur.
Packaging
: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from
damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable
supplier is usually correctly packaged.
Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:

fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes,
postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the
MP tray

Note
You might see the printer emitting steam in the area around
the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue
printing.
