Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself. Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam. Do not remove the tray while a job is printing. Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray. Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer: Use grain long paper for best results. Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed. Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces. Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225 °C (437 °F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the 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. Printing on a Letterhead (Pre-Printed and Pre-Punched Paper) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the pre-printed letterhead that you have selected is acceptable for laser printers. Page orientation is important when printing on pre-printed paper such as letterhead and pre-punched paper. The following table shows the orientation when loading letterheads in the tray or feeders. For other pre-printed and prepunched paper, load the paper by reference to the following table.
