• Paper Recommendations
The machine supports a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights
and sizes. This section describes how to choose and use media. To obtain the best
performance, use 75 to 90 g/m
2 plain paper that is designed for use in copiers and
laser printers. Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not
recommended. Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
• Envelopes
Envelopes must be free from twists, curls or other deformations. The envelopes must also
be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll
pressure fusing in the machine. Window envelopes are not suitable.
• Labels
Labels must be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the
base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stocks may damage the
machine due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.
• Paper storage
Store paper under the following conditions to maintain quality.
• Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place
• On a flat surface
• Temperature: 20°C
• Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity)
Do not store paper in the places as shown below:
• Directly on the floor
• Where paper is exposed to direct sunlight
• Near the inside of an exterior wall
• On an uneven surface
• Where static electricity may be generated
• Where temperature excessively rises high and temperature rapidly changes
• Near this machine, an air conditioner, a heater, or duct
• Do not unwrap paper until just before you use.
• Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long period. Doing so may result in printing problems.
• Depending on the print media, environment, storage conditions, the print quality may deteriorate or printout may get
curled.
