Unacceptable paper

The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:

  • Chemically treated papers that are used to make copies without carbon paper. They are also known as carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.

  • Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.

  • Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser.

  • Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm (±0.09 in.). For example, optical character recognition (OCR) forms.

    Sometimes, registration can be adjusted with a software app to print successfully on these forms.

  • Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, or thermal papers.

  • Rough‑edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers.

  • Papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European).

  • Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).

  • Multiple‑part forms or documents.
