Paper Properties

Paper manufactured from 100% chemical wood
pulp containing no more than 25% cotton fiber is
recommended. Paper should be dust-free and
have cleanly cut edges. Do not use wrinkled,
curled, or damp paper—it often causes misfeeds,
paper jams, and illegible output.
Generally, paper manufactured for photocopying
has good print quality and paper handling
characteristics.
Note: Paper properties can be changed
by the manufacturers. NEC has no control
over such changes. Thus NEC neither
warrants nor recommends the use of any
particular paper and the user assumes all
responsibility as to the quality and
performance of paper selected.
No matter which manufacturer you select, note
the following considerations.
• Smoother surface paper generates sharper
output resolution and detail.
Appendix A: Selecting Print Media
• Coated paper can melt, discolor, or release
hazardous emissions at temperatures greater
than 392˚F (200˚C).
• The acceptable range of media weight for use
is 16 to 43 lb).
• Use only letter size plain paper in the optional
500-Sheet cassette.
Note: The media weight limit for the
optional 500-Sheet cassette is 28 pounds,
but weights up to 43 pounds can be used
in the Multi-purpose and Manual feed
trays.
Using print media that is not recommended may
cause paper jams or poor print quality.
Use the Multi-purpose tray to print
transparencies, labels and envelopes. Fan
transparencies, labels and envelopes before
loading them into the Multi-purpose tray.

Additional Paper for Use in This Printer

In addition to the recommended paper, you may
also use generic paper as long as it meets the
printer paper specifications of size and weight (16
to 43 lbs). Try samples of the generic paper to
determine if the printer performance and print
quality are acceptable to you.
