Choosing Paper and other Specialty
Media
You can print on a variety of paper types and sizes, such as plain
paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See
“Printing Specialty Media” on page 2.14.
When you choose paper, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
-16~24lbs (60~90g/m
2
) bond for Tray 1 or
optional Tray 2
-16~32lbs (60~160g/m
2
) bond, up to 60 lb cover,
for the Multi-purpose Tray
-20~24lbs (75~90g/m
2
) bond for duplex printing
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
CAUTION
: Using a paper that does not conform to the
specifications listed on page E.6 can cause problems that may
require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or
service agreements.
