Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper: Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper. Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the multi-function printer. Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your multi-function printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard paper.

Selecting Prepunched Paper

Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques.

Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper:

Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched

paper.

Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a

ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the multi-function printer.

Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your multi-function printer may

require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard paper.

Transparencies

Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the multi-function printer before buying

large quantities:

Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand

temperatures of 205° C (401° F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous

emissions.
