What is the recommended paper?

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

 

  • DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
  • For correct 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.
  • Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.
Some important guidelines when choosing paper are:

 

 

  • DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your machine.
  • Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the machine's fusing process 200°C (392°F).
