Paper Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed
lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on
pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of
the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from
moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your
paper.
• Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed under
Specifications in the Appendix.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well creased folds.
• DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
• DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
