Using Your Printer
Preprinted Forms and Letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and

Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset

•
Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.

Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Multiple-sheet forms or documents
•
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the
printer

Rough-edged or curled papers
•
Synthetic papers

Thermal papers
Storing paper
Use the following guidelines for proper paper storage:
•
For best results, store paper in an environment where the
temperature is approximately 21
o
C (70
o
F) and the relative
humidity is 40%.
•
Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf, rather than
directly on the floor.
•
If you store individual packages of paper, make sure they
rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
•
Do not place anything on top of the paper packages.
