Paper guidelines
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating
new paper stock.

75 g/m
2 (20 lb) might not be...

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 containing
fibers such as cotton possesses characteristics that can negatively affect paper handling.
Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known...

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without melting or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label
manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with relative humidity between
40 and 60%.
