2.1.3. Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated paper used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.
• Preprinted paper with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
• Preprinted paper that can be a
ff
ected by the temperature in the printer fuser.
• Preprinted paper that require a positioning accuracy (the precise print location on the page)
greater than ±2.3 mm, such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, you
can use software applications to adjust the positioning to successfully print on these forms.
• Coated paper (erasable bond paper), synthetic paper, thermal paper.
• Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface paper, or curled paper.
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2.
• Multiple-part forms or documents.
2.1.4. Saving paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours
before printing.
• Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very di
ff
erent from
the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C and the relative humidity is 40%.
• Most label manufacturers recommend printing in an environment with a temperature of
18-24 °C and a relative humidity of 40~60%.
• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The
carton and wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
