Recommendations
• Check http://my.okidata.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. 
• Avoid:
– Damp, damaged or curled paper.
– Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.
– Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or paper 
that has a large grain difference between the two sides.
– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.
– Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive 
paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.
