Page 81: Print Media Guidelines
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.
Page 82 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.
Page 83 • 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 (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: •...
Page 84 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.

Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
Page 89: Storing Print Media
Storing Print Media Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage.
