 Choosing the right paper
Use one of the recommended paper types listed above. If you need to use different paper,
contact the supplier of your C6010 printer.
Treated paper is not recommended for use in your printer. Do not use paper that is:
 carbon backed
 textured
 used for iron-on or cold-water transfer
 pressure or heat sensitive
 covered with adhesive
Specific types of paper that must not be used are:
 envelopes
 non-microporous photo papers
 coated laser paper
 transparencies
If in doubt, contact the supplier of your C6010 printer.
Manual duplexing or Booklet printing is best used with text and light color applications.
Not all paper can be used for double-sided printing. Specifically, paper that has a preferred or
specially prepared side will generally be unsuitable.
For successful duplex printing the first side of the printed sheet should be dry, and the sheet
must be very flat when re-loaded into the paper tray to ensure the second side is printed
correctly. Curled or cockled paper will cause misfeeds.
Try printing a small sample. If the result is not up to expectations, try printing on heavier
grade or higher quality paper.
 Paper storage and handling
Storage and handling are very important in maintaining your paper in top condition to
produce the best quality output. Common recommendations are listed below, but your
particular location may require further considerations.
 Store all paper flat. Curled or bent paper can cause misfeeds.
 Store paper in a cool, dark location with low humidity. Light and UV radiation can
damage paper.
 Keep paper wrapped prior to installing in printer to prevent dust from contaminating the
surface. If paper came in a re-sealable container, re-insert unused paper in the container
when you have finished, and seal it, for protection.
