Choosing Paper and Other Materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. See “Paper
Specifications” on page C.3. To get the best possible print
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•
Desired outcome : The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
• Size : You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
-16~24 lbs (60~90 g/m
2
) bond for the Tray1 or optional
Tray2
-16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m
2
) bond for the Multi-Purpose Tray
• Brightness : Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness : The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
