User's Guide • Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing. Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead Use these guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead: • Use grain long for 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb) weight paper. • 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 be able to withstand temperatures up to 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 generally 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. Unacceptable paper examples Test results indicate that the following paper types are at risk for use with laser printers: • Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers • Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer • Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser • Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise location on the page) greater than ± 2.3 mm (± 0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.) • Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers • Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers • Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European testing) • Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) • Multiple part forms or documents Using specialty media Tips on using card stock Card stock is heavy, single-ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness, and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before buying large quantities. - 51 -

Unacceptable paper examples

Test results indicate that the following paper types are at risk for use with laser printers:

•

Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as

carbonless

papers

•

Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer

•

Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser

•

Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise location on the page) greater than ± 2.3 mm

(± 0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, registration can be

adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.)

•

Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

•

Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers

•

Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European testing)

•

Paper weighing less than 60 g/m

Multiple part forms or documents

Using specialty media

Tips on using card stock

Card stock is heavy, single-ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture

content, thickness, and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock

being considered for use before buying large quantities.
