Acceptable paper and 
other print media 2
Print quality may vary according to the type of 
paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print 
media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, 
thicker paper, bond paper, recycled paper, 
labels or envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
 DO NOT put different types of paper in the 
paper tray at the same time because it 
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
 For proper printing, you must choose the 
same paper size from your software 
application as the paper in the tray.
 Avoid touching the printed surface of the 
paper immediately after printing.
 Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small 
quantity to make sure the paper is 
suitable.
 Use labels that are designed for use in 
laser machines.
