the tray you want to unlink does not match the Type setting of any other tray.
If the name that best describes your paper is used by linked trays, assign a...

must be considered concerning the selection of paper and specialty media before printing. This chapter provides

It is recommended that you try a limited sample of any paper or specialty media you are considering using with the
printer before purchasing large quantities.

Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of
the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60–90 g/m
2 (16–24 lb bond) paper, grain long paper is recommended.
Fiber content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the
paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper...

Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected
by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
When in doubt, contact the paper supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting...
