USING PRINT MEDIA
4.2
Choosing Paper and Print Media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain
paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks, and
so on. See “Print Media Specifications” on page A.3. To
get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality
copier-grade paper.
When you choose print media, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should
be appropriate for the project.
• Size: You can use any print media that fits easily within
the guides of the tray.
• Weight: Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
• 16-24 lb bond for the automatic input tray
• 16-43 lb bond for the manual input tray
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper
affects how crisp the printing looks.
Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large
quantities.
Warning! Using print media that does not conform to the
specifications listed in the paper specifications can
cause problems that may require service. This service is
not covered by the warranty or service agreements.
