Printing on Various Papers
Usable Media Types
For high-quality printing it is necessary to use paper that satisfies conditions regarding quality,
thickness, paper finish, etc. If printing on paper not recommended by OKI, thoroughly test the print
quality and paper traveling performance, etc., and check that there are no impediments before use.
If using a (paper) medium that is curled or wrinkled before printing, print quality and paper traveling
performance cannot be assured.
