Paper Recommendations For guidance on the media you can use with your printer, which input tray and which ejection method to use, see the section entitled "Paper and tray information" in the "Specifications" chapter. Note The reference to Manual Feed Tray is for the B411 models and the Multi Purpose Tray is for the B431 models. Paper and envelope types The manufacturer of this printer recommends the following guidelines when selecting paper and envelopes for use in your printer: • Paper and envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. • Use a smooth finished paper such as copier or laser type paper with a Sheffield (smoothness) rating of 250 or less. If in doubt, please ask your paper supplier. • Use paper and envelopes that are designed for use in laser type printers. • The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously impact on the life of the image drum. • Do not use very smooth, shiny/glossy paper. • Do not use heavily embossed headed paper. • Do not use specially treated papers such as carbon paper, non-carbon paper, thermal paper and impact paper. • Avoid using paper with perforations, cut-outs and ragged edges. • Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps. • Do not use envelopes with self sealing flaps. • Avoid using damaged or curled envelopes. 45 > B411/B431 Paper Recommendations
