Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, transparencies, labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

„ Use paper made for plain paper copying.

„ Use paper that is 60 to 105 g/m

2

.

„ Use labels and transparencies which are designed for use in laser machines.

„ DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

„ For correct printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in the tray.

„ Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.

„ When you use transparencies remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.

„ Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx.

5%.
