RECOMMENDATIONS
Your printer unit 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 75 – 90g/m² paper
designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:
> Arjo Wiggins Colour Solutions 90g/m²
> Colour Copy by Mondi
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 (Letter)
> Kokuyo A693X series (A4) or A650 (B5)
