Guidelines for selecting paper The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are: ■ Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in a laser printer. ■ Preprinted paper must use inks that can withstand the temperature of the printer's fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade) ■ If you have selected a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface, such as cockle or laid finished paper or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, the paper may exhibit degraded performance. The manufacturer does not recommend the use of any particular paper. The operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.
