Paper Handling

3.3

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special 

material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the 

specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page E.6.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper 

can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print 

quality. 

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a 

texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may 

occur.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use. 

Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not 

place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is 

packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or 

other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 

o

C and 

30 

o

C (59 

o

F to 86 

o

F). The relative humidity should be 

between 10 % and 70 %.

• During storage, you should use a moisture-proof wrap, such 

as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture 

from contaminating your paper.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the 

Bypass tray to avoid paper jams.

• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser 

printers.

• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label 

sheets from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

• For  envelopes:

- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well 

creased folds.

- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-

adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• For transparencies:

- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the 

machine.

- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. 

Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty 

printing.
