- Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.
- Use paper made for plain paper copying.
- Use paper that is 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2).
- Use labels and transparencies which are designed for use in laser machines.
- Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
- For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in the tray.
- Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.
- When you use transparencies remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.
- Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx. 5%.
- DO NOT load envelopes, labels or bond paper into the paper tray. It may cause paper jams.
- DO NOT use ink jet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your machine.
