16 – C910 Paper Recommendations
Paper Recommendations
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range
of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This
section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains
how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard weight
20 – 24 lb (75 – 90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and
laser printers. Suitable types are:
•OKI
®
Bright White, 32 lb US Bond
• HammerMill
®
Laser Print Radiant, White, 24 lb US Bond
•Xerox
®
4024, 20 lb US Bond
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not
recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing
process.
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that
remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in
this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers
and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies
designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the
fuser and cause damage.
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers
and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely
covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the
printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.
Suitable types are:
• Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161
