Thick paper
Paper is considered to be thick when its weight exceeds 90 g/m² (24 lb). 
Recommendations for use
Avoid placing different types of paper (different weights or formats) in the paper tray as this may risk causing paper 
jams.
Fine paper
First test the fine paper to be used to ensure acceptable print quality. 
Recommendations for use
Avoid placing different types of paper (different weights or formats) in the paper tray as this may risk causing paper 
jams.

Recommendations for use
Use envelopes: 
• For laser printers, with diagonal closure, ordinary pre-glued folds, edges and flaps.
• Approved for laser printing.
•Dry.
Do not use envelopes:
• With self-adhesive flaps.
• With adhesive ribbons, metal attachments, clips or removable strips.
• With transparent windows.
• Of thick texture (example: reinforced envelopes).
• Comprised of fused, volatile, or discolouring material or emitting toxic vapours.
• Pre-sealed.
Labels
A sheet of labels is comprised of a front side (printable surface) and an adhesive back, covered with a protective film:
• The front side must meet standard Paper specifications.
• The front must fully cover the protective side, without allowing any adhesive to show on the surface.
You can print continuous sheets of labels but depending on the media used and the printing environment, paper feed 
problems may occur. If so, stop the continuous print and print out sheets one by one.
Before printing on label sheets, it is recommended to print out a test on standard paper to check page formatting. For 
more information concerning printing labels, consult your application documentation.
 
Recommendations for use
Using sheets of labels:
• Recommended for laser printers
• Format A4 or Letter (sheets of self-adhesive labels).
Do not use sheets of labels:
• With easily removed labels or protective film that is unstuck.
• Allowing adhesive substances to show on the surface.
• Pre-cut or perforated.Duplex Not supported
Note
Envelopes must be printed on the address 
side. It is recommended to print outside the 
three-play zones (front+back+flap) in order 
to avoid printing problems (poorly printed 
characters, etc.).

Cards
Before starting printing cards, print out a test on standard paper to check page formatting. 
Recommendations for use
Use cards for laser printers.
Do not use cards:
• Coated.
• For ink-jet printers.
• Pre-cut or perforated.
• Pre-printed or multicoloured.
Transparencies
It is possible to print continuously on transparencies, but feed problems may occur due to the media quality, the 
accumulation of static electricity and the print environment.
Before starting printing transparencies, print out a test on standard paper to check page formatting.
 
Recommendations for use:
• Only use transparencies for laser printers.
• Only use transparencies for black and white printing.
• Regularly clean the printer paper path as transparencies are highly sensitive to dirt.
• Remove printed transparencies from the output tray to prevent the accumulation of static electricity.
• Avoid handling transparencies before loading them into the paper tray as fingerprints may affect print quality.
• Do not use transparencies:
– For colour printing.
– For ink-jet printers.

Index cards
Before starting printing index cards, print out a test on standard paper to check page formatting. 
Printable surface
Each media has its own printable surface, the maximum surface which can be printed clearly without distortion.
This surface is limited by two hardware constraints, the size of the media and the margins required by the printer and 
a software constraint, the memory available for the full page frame buffer. Whatever the media, the guaranteed print 
surface corresponds to the size of the media minus 4 mm from each edge.
On Banner paper, the bottom margin is 10 mm.
Printable surface for envelopes
Envelopes have a flap zone that is not guaranteed which varies according to type.
 
Page margins
The margins are defined in the computer application. When the application allows, personalise the margins taking 
account of the guaranteed printable surface.
