Handling Different Types of Paper
Paper Types
Your printer is able to handle various types of paper: simple or multipart paper for cut sheet or
continuous form. In addition, you can also print on envelopes and labels.
The following specifications should be adhered to in order to assure reliable operation. Paper not
conforming to these specifications may be used with the printer, however, the results are not
guaranteed. A brief test of out-of-specification paper should be performed prior to regular use.
Most paper is sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions and the performance of the paper
may be adversely affected due to extremes in these conditions. To prevent damage, paper,
envelopes and cards should be stored in the original packaging until they are used.
Storage temperature Storage relative humidity
64° F - 75° F (18° C - 24° C) 40% - 60%
Tips on Paper Quality
Plain bond, typewriter quality paper with a light wood pulp content should be used for optimum
performance. Maximum allowable cotton or rag content is 25%. Papers which should first be
tested prior to regular use are those with a textured, embossed or glossy surface, or a "hammered"
type paper.
Paper must be in pristine condition with no creases or surface or edge damage. Cut sheets must
be flat, not curled or curved.
