Print Media Guidelines
Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality
printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps you to avoid
printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to help you make print media selections, how to
care for the print media, and how to load it in the tray 1, optional tray 2, or MPF.
Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m 2
 (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any paper you
are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the paper
accordingly. See  Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray
 and  Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)
 for
detailed loading instructions.
Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 105 g/m 2
 (16 to 24lb bond) grain long in the
DADF and from 60 to 105g/m 2
 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long in the paper tray. Paper lighter than 60 g/m 2
(16 lb) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m 2
 (20 lb
bond) long grain paper.
For duplex printing, use 75 to 90 g/m 2
 (20 to 24 lb bond) paper. 
						

							Curl
Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems.
Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures.
Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling prior to
printing and can cause feeding problems.
Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of the paper directly affects the print quality.  If the paper is too rough, the toner
does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality.  If the paper is too smooth, it can cause
paper feeding problems. Smoothness should be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness
between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.
Moisture Content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper
properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the
paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain, running the
length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper.
For 60 to 90 g/m 2
 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers heavier than 90
g/m 2
 (24 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the MPF, 60 to 90 g/m 2
 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long
fibers are recommended.
Fiber Content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content provides the
paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper
containing fibers such as cotton possess characteristics that can result in degraded paper handling.
Recommended Paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m 2
 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business papers
designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When choosing any
print media, consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
Use only paper which can withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing 
						

							hazardous emissions. Check with the paper manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you
have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Unacceptable Paper
The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer: Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than  
0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers
Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19 309
Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m 2
 (16 lb)
Multiple-part forms or documents
Selecting Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality: Always use new, undamaged paper.
Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This information is
usually indicated on the paper package.
Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
Do not use coated papers.
Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size
sensing.
Do not remove trays while a job is printing.
Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the source.
Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 
						

							Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer: Use long grain papers for best results.
Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink
must withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks
that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fuser. 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.
Preprinted papers such as letterheads must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180° C (356° F) without
melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
Printing on a Letterhead paper
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead paper that you have
chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Page orientation is important when printing on a letterhead paper. Use the following table for help when
loading a letterhead paper in the print media sources.

Selecting Prepunched Paper
Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques.
Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper: 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.
Prepunched 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 that of standard paper. 
						

							Transparencies
Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities: Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand
temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous
emissions.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, as this can cause poor print quality.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent the sheets from sticking together.
Load one transparency into the MPF.
Selecting Transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies which have been designed for use in laser printers. Print
quality and durability depends on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are
considering before buying large quantities.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser
printers that heat transparencies to 180° C (356° F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand
these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities. See
Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)
 for instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes: To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in
laser printers.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m 2
 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 90
g/m 2
 (24 lb bond) weight for the MPF as long as the cotton content is 25 percent or less.
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
- Have excessive curl or twist
- Are stuck together or damaged in any way
- Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or 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
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive curling,
wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.  If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are
considering using,  check with the envelope supplier.
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. The end of the
envelope with the stamp area enters the MPF first.
See Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)
 for instructions on loading an envelope.
NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to open
and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially helpful for
DL, and C5 size envelopes.
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the
envelopes. 
						

							Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter
size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able
to withstand temperatures of 180° C
(356° F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet at a time in the MPF.
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity: Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.
Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your
printer and cartridge warranties.
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive curling,
wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of
the label.
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of
the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer
and could void your warranty.
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible,  a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be removed on the
leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the
printer.
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Card Stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and
texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See  Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications
 for
information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print media.
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity: Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause
print media handling or jamming problems.
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer. 
						

							We recommend the use of grain long card stock.
Storing Print Media
Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding problems
and uneven print quality:
For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21° C
(70° F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carto n, ensure that they rest on a flat
surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications
The following tables provide information on standard and optional sources, including the print media sizes
that you can select from the paper size menu and supported weights.
NOTE: If you use a print media size not listed,  select the next larger size.
