Guidelines for using media Use the guidelines in this section when selecting and using print media. Note Paper For best results, use conventional paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package. Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the device. Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. Do not use raised letterhead. The device uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the media. Make sure that any colored media or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the device temperature (200° C or 392° F for 0.1 second).

Guidelines for using media
Use the guidelines in this section when selecting and using print media.
Paper
For best results, use conventional paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality and free
of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check
the label on the package.
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the device.
Note
Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
Do not use raised letterhead.
The device uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the media. Make sure that any colored
media or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the device temperature (200° C or
392° F for 0.1 second).
