Selecting Paper Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing. To help avoid jams or poor print quality: • Always use new, undamaged paper. • Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This information is usually indicated on the paper package. • Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself. • Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams. • Do not use coated papers. • Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size sensing. • Do not remove trays while a job is printing. • Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the source. • Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer: • Use long grain papers for best results. • Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. • Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed. • Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces. Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°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. Preprinted papers such as letterheads must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. - 133
