Glossy paper
For optimum results when printing on glossy paper, select the glossy
print setting in the printer driver. You can also use the printer control
panel to set the media type to GLOSS for the input tray you are using.
Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the
printer to its original settings once your job has printed. See the section
in the online user guide on configuring input trays.
CAUTION
Do not duplex on glossy paper. Doing so will result in paper jams and
print quality problems.
Colored paper
Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic
paper. Pigments used must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing
temperature of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do
not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper
was produced.
The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and
varying their spacing to produce various colors. Varying the shade or
color of your paper will affect the shades of your printed colors.
Heavy paper
CAUTION
Do not use paper that is heavier than the recommended paper
specification for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper
jams, inferior print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.
Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 105 g/m
2
(28 lb). For optimum
results when printing on heavy paper, select the heavy print setting in
the printer driver. You can also use the printer control panel to set the
media type to HEAVY for the input tray you are using. Because the
setting adjustment affects all print jobs, it is important to return the
printer to its original settings once your job has printed.
