The size, weight, and type of the paper (print media) 
determine:
•which paper feed tray can be used  
•which paper exit path can be used 
•whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing 
Single sided printing is also known as simplex printing. 
These settings can be made in the printer menu or in the 
printer driver.
Application settings override driver settings.
Driver settings override printer menu settings.
The best performance is obtained when using paper designed 
for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types include:
•Hammermill
® Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US 
Bond (90 g/m²)
•Xerox
® 4024, 20 lb.US Bond (75 g/m²)
•Oki
® 52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US 
Bond (120 g/m2)
Recommendations
•Check www.okiprintingsolutions.com for the latest 
information on recommended papers for your printer.
•Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct 
sunlight and heat sources.
• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will 
seriously affect the life of the image drum and give 
poor print quality. Print quality can be improved by 
changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’ However, this 
will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the 
duplex option. 
If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner 
fusion, you can try the Label settings.
