Specifications of Paper Types

The following tables describe the types of paper that can be used with this machine.

Depending on the paper type, the toner may take a while to dry. Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried. Otherwise, the toner may smudge.
Print quality can be guaranteed only if recommended paper is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.
Duplex printing is available for the Type 2 and Type 3 models only.
