NOTE: Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those
used in some types of thermography.
NOTE: Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
NOTE: The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any
colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing
temperature (200° C or 392° F for 0.1 second).
