Paper
Specifications
To achieve the best possible print quality and avoid paper
jams, follow these guidelines for selecting and storing
paper:
•
Use only high quality, xerographic/photocopier grade
paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering,
perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.
•
Colored paper should be of the same high quality as
white paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 392°F (200°C) for 0.1 second
without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored
coating that was added after the paper was produced.
•
Preprinted forms must be printed with non-flammable,
heat resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s
approximately 392°F (200°C) fusing temperature for 0.1
second.
•
Paper weights of 16-36 lbs are supported.
Envelope
Specifications
Choose envelopes that are well-constructed. They should
lay flat and should not be wrinkled, nicked or otherwise
damaged.
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip, or more than one
fold-over flap to seal, must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure of the printer’s fusing process.
