Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the
front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print
quality is not guaranteed.
• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C
(338°F)).
• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers.
• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing
process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
