Because all paper varies in physical characteristics, you can receive mixed
results from different packages of paper even though the packages contain
the same type of paper.  If you encounter undesirable results, try the
other side of the paper, a different type, or another package of the same
kind of paper.

Do not use the following types of paper with the printer:

  Erasable bond paper

  Synthetic paper

  Thermal paper

  Multi-sheet forms and documents

  Chemically treated paper (carbonless paper)

  Papers printed with a printing process using certain chemicals will
  contaminate the paper feed mechanism components (paper with raised,
  embossed lettering)

  Most papers have a preferred print side indicated on the paper package.
  Load the paper so the preferred print side faces you.
