Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads

When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer:

• Use grain long paper for best results.

• Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

• Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed.

• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

• Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copying machines. The ink must

withstand temperatures of 225 °C (437 °F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

• Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fusing unit. Inks that are oxidation-set

or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Selecting Pre-Punched Paper

When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer:

• Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.

• Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled

paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam.

• Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent

cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper.

• Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.

Envelopes

Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling. It is recommended that you try a

sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. See

Loading an Envelope in the MPF

for

instructions on loading an envelope.

When printing on envelopes:

• Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.

• Set the print media source to the MPF. Set the paper type to

Envelope

, and select the correct size of envelope from

the printer driver.

• Use envelopes made from 75 g/m

(20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m

(28 lb bond) weight for the

envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 % or less. Envelopes with 100 % cotton content must not exceed

90 g/m

(24 lb bond) weight.

• Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.

• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or

releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the

envelope supplier.
