Use recommended media (paper, transparencies, envelopes, card stock and labels) for your
printer to avoid printing problems. For detailed information about media characteristics, refer
to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Drivers CD provided with your printer. Brief
guidelines for choosing paper and other media follow.
Paper
Note: Using low quality paper may result in unsatisfactory performance and may
degrade print quality.
When printing photographic quality images, use a high quality laser printer paper. We
recommend the following paper for optimum results:
• Hammermill Laser Print 90 g/m
2
(24 lb)
For printing text and typical business graphics, you may find 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper designed for
use with laser printers or photocopiers produces acceptable print quality. Always try a sample
of any paper before buying large quantities.
Before loading paper, note the recommended print side identified on the paper package.
Load paper with the recommended print side face up in the paper trays. For paper loading
instructions, see Loading paper, card stock, or labels.
