Appendix A : Selecting Print Media
• Don’t use paper printed with
low-temperature inks.
• Inks must not be flammable.
• Inks must not be affected by the resin
components found in toner.
• Care must be taken to avoid changing the
moisture content of paper being preprinted or
using materials that change the electrical or
handling properties of the paper. Forms
should be sealed in moisture-proof wrapping
after preprinting to prevent moisture changes
during storage.
Heavy Print Stock
Heavy (thick) paper stock can generate misfeeds
and paper jams, in addition to causing excessive
wear to the print mechanism.
• Paper exceeding 28 lb. must be placed in the
Multipurpose tray (MP Tray). In order to
minimize curling, heavy paper must be
ejected onto the Face-up output tray.
• Do not use paper heavier than 50 lb. Excessive
use of heavy media may result in damage to
the toner cartridge. The best range of media
weight for use is 20 to 28 lb (105 g/m
2
).
Envelopes
Envelopes should be directed to the Face up out-
put tray in order to minimize curling and
wrinkling.
The printer accepts four standard envelope sizes:
• Monarch 3.875 in. x 7.5 in. (98.4 mm x
190.5 mm)
• Commercial 10 4.125 in. x 9.5 in. (105 mm x
241 mm)
• DL 110 mm x 220 mm (4.33 in. x 8.66 in.)
• C5 162 mm x 229 mm (6.38 in. x 9.02 in.)
Note: NEC neither warrants nor
guarantees the use of any particular enve-
lope and the user assumes all responsibil-
ity as to the quality and
performance of the envelopes selected.
The leading edge of an envelope that feeds into
the printer must be straight. The fold must be
firmly creased and be no thicker than two paper
thicknesses. As a rule, the larger the envelope is,
the more difficult it is to feed properly.
