Recommendations
• Check http://my.okidata.com for the latest information on
recommended papers for your printer.
• Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat sources.
• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously affect the
life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print quality
can be improved by changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’
However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the
duplex option.
• Avoid :
– Damp, damaged or curled paper.
– Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.
– Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or paper
that has a large grain difference between the two sides .
– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.
– Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive
paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.
