Storing paper

Media specifications

• Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.

• If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the

edges do not buckle or curl.

• Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

• Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the printer.

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead

Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:

• Use grain long papers for best results for 60 to 90 g/m

weights.

• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

• Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures

of 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks

that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. When in doubt, contact the paper

supplier.

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or

releasing hazardous emissions.

Printing on letterhead

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the chosen preprinted letterhead is acceptable for laser

printers.

Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the

media sources.

Transparencies

Feed transparencies from the standard tray or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any transparencies being

considered for use with the printer before buying large quantities.

When printing on transparencies:

• Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver, MarkVision™ Professional, or the operator

panel to avoid damaging the printer.

• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand

temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.

• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
