Selecting print media
Paper
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures 160°C (320°F). Use only paper able to
withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with
the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser
printers.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 160°C (320°F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in
xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 160°C (320°F) without melting or releasing
hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks
that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt,
contact your paper supplier.
