Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
❒
Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and
cause a paper misfeed.
❒
When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with
the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause
them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
❒
Set the paper as described below
• Tray 1, Tray 2: Print side facing up
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing down
• Paper Feed Unit (Option): Print side facing down
❒
Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales
or service representative.
❒
Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing Paper
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations
are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.
