The best type of paper to choose is standard 80-90g/m² bond
paper designed for use in plain paper copiers and laser type
printers. Pre-printed stationery, such as letterhead paper can
also be used as long as the pre-printed parts can withstand a
combination of heat and pressure. Experience will determine the
suitability or otherwise of particular pre-printed stationery.
Avoid using paper that is damaged in any way, such as folded,
perforated, torn or stapled sheets, and avoid feeding the same
sheet twice to print on both sides. Also avoid using very glossy or
heavily embossed paper.
If the printed page shows signs of fading, streaking or erratic
marks, the problem may be cleared by generating a drum
cleaning page as follows:
1. Start the Status Monitor for the printer.
2. Select the Printer Setup tab and click on the Printer
Menu button.
3. Select the Test Print tab and click on the Cleaning button.
4. Using the Manual Feed Tray insert a sheet of A4 plain
paper between the paper guides, then click the OK
button.
5. The printer grips the paper and prints a cleaning page.
6. If subsequent printing appears faded or uneven, try
replacing the toner cartridge.
Store paper flat and sealed in its original wrapping until required
for use. Paper left out tends to absorb moisture from the air. This
makes it prone to curling and also less able to retain a permanent
image.
