2
) bond, up to 60 lb over,
for the Multi-purpose Tray
-20~24lbs (75~90g/m

Guidelines for Paper and Specialt Media
When sele ting or loading paper, envelopes, or other spe ialty
media keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, urled, wrinkled, or torn paper
an ause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use ut-sheet paper only. You annot use multi-part paper.
• When printing transparen ies, use only Phaser 35-Series
Premium Transparen y Film.
• Do not use paper with irregularities, su h as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load any tray while printing and never
overfill the tray. This ould ause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a
texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photo opy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for 0.1 se onds without
deteriorating. Do not use paper with a olored oating that
was added after the paper was produ ed.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subje t to the printer’s fusing
temperature.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Pla e artons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Do not pla e heavy obje ts on top of the paper, whether it is
pa kaged or unpa kaged.
• Keep paper away from moisture, dire t sunlight or other
onditions that an ause it to wrinkle or url.
NOTE : Do not use arbonless paper and tra ing paper. The
hemi als an damage your printer.
