NOTE: Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. NOTE: Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. NOTE: The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper.

Symptom
Problem with paper
Solution
Poor print quality or toner
adhesion, problems with feeding
Too moist, too rough, too smooth or
embossed; faulty paper lot
Try another kind of paper,
between 100-400 Sheffield, 4%-
5% moisture content.
Dropout, jamming, curl
Stored improperly
Store paper flat in its moisture-
proof wrapping.
Increased gray background
shading/printer wear
Too heavy
Use lighter paper, use the
rear
door
.
Excessive curl problems with
feeding
Too moist, wrong grain direction or
short-grain construction
l
Use the
rear door
.
l
Use long-grain paper.
Jamming, damage to printer
Cutouts or perforations
Do not use paper with cutouts or
perforations.
Problems with feeding
Ragged edges
Use good quality paper.
NOTE:
Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
NOTE:
Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
NOTE:
The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Ensure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible
with this fusing temperature (180° C or 356°
F for 0.1 second).
