Print Media That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can
cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
• Rough or porous media
• Plastic media
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with staples
• Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
• Padded envelopes
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Perforated media
• Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.
When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.
