The following table outlines the input and output source capacities by media type.
Additional guidelines
Due to the print technology, paper designed for use with xerographic copiers should provide satisfactory print
quality and feed reliability. Other types of media may be suitable. It is recommended that users test any
particular brand for suitability to their applications. See the
User's Guide for additional media specifications.

•
Rough, highly textured, limp, or pre-curled papers will result in lower print quality and more frequent paper
feed failures.
