Print-media guidelines ● For best results, make sure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges. ● For best-quality printing, use a smooth type of paper. Generally, smoother media produces better results. ● If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper. ● Do not use media that is designed for inkjet printers only. Use media that is designed for laser printers. ● Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. ● Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. ● The product uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper.
