Chapter 2 Acceptable paper and other print media 2 Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using. You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels or envelopes. For best results, follow the instructions below: „ Use paper made for plain paper copying. „ Use paper that is 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2). „ 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. „ Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx. 5%. Recommended paper and print media 2 To get the best print quality, we suggest using the following paper.
