Back to Contents Page Print Media Guidelines Paper Envelopes Labels Storing Print Media Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications Print media is paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles.
Recommended Paper To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business paper designed for general business use also provide acceptable print quality. Only use paper able to withstand high temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Printing on Letterhead Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the pre-printed letterhead you have selected is acceptable for laser printers. Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the print media sources.
¡ Have excessive curl or twist ¡ Are stuck together or damaged in any way ¡ Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, embossing ¡ Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars ¡ Have an interlocking design ¡ Have postage stamps attached ¡ Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position ¡ Have nicked edges or bent corners ¡ Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes Labels Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers.

Adjust the width guides to the print media's width. 2. Hold both sides of the print media facing down close to the single sheet feeder, and push it into the printer until it automatically feeds. NOTE: Do not force the print media into the single sheet feeder. NOTE: Load letterhead face-down, with the top of the sheet entering the printer first.
NOTICE: Never use envelopes with windows, coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. These lead to paper jams and can damage the printer. NOTE: Ensure that you load an envelope with the flap completely opened. NOTE: Insert an envelope with the flap side face up and with the stamp area on the bottom right side. Using the Duplex Function Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) allows you to print on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically.
