Choosing Paper With this printer you can print on many sizes and types of paper. You can also use other types of media, such as envelopes, labels, and overhead projector transparencies. The printer feeds most types of media automatically from the paper cassette, but does require that some media be manually fed for greater control. This chapter describes the paper feed and delivery choices and how to select and load paper. The type of paper you use in your printer can affect the quality of your printed output. The printer forms an image by transferring many tiny dots of toner to the paper. If the paper is rough, the edges of letters become ragged because some of the dots fall into indentations on the paper. The smoother the paper you use, the smoother your printing looks. You should use especially smooth paper for printing originals from which you plan to make reproductions. Because reproduction introduces its own raggedness to the edges of letters, you want to start with the best original possible. For best results, store your paper supply in its original wrapper. The printer is sensitive to moisture absorbed by the paper. Do not store paper in a humid or damp environment. Below are some recommendations for selecting paper and other print media for the printer. 4-2 Paper Handling
