APER RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of
paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section
provides some general advice on choice of media, and explains how
to use each type.
Specifications are quoted printing standard weight 20 – 24 lb (75 –
90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Print
speed and feed paths can vary when using thick and specialty
media. Suitable types for all media paths include:
>
OKI® Bright White, 32 lb US Bond
>
HammerMill® Laser Print Radiant, White, 24 lb US Bond
>
Xerox® 4024, 20 lb US Bond
Continuous 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
should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that
remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this
type of printer. Window envelopes should be carefully checked for
fuser heat compatbility.
Transparencies and films
should be of the type designed for use
in copiers and laser printers. In particular, avoid office
transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These
will melt in the fuser and cause damage.
Labels
should also 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 stock may damage the printer due to
the labels peeling off during the printing process. Generally suitable
types are:
