About Paper Sizes, Weight, and Number of Sheets That Can be Loaded
Available paper types
To perform high-quality printing, be sure to use the supported paper types that satisfy requirements, such as material, weight, or paper surface finishing.
If you print on paper that is not recommended by OKI, check the print quality and the movement of the paper thoroughly in advance to ensure that there are no problems.
Print quality and the movement of paper cannot be guaranteed if paper (media) with curls or warpage before printing is used.

Paper Recommendations
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes.
This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75-90g/m2paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
Envelopes
Envelopes should be free from twists, curls or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Labels
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels.
Other types of label stock may damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.
Paper storage
If paper is not properly stored, it may absorb moisture, or develop discoloration or warping. Printing on such paper can adversely affect print quality and/or paper feeding. Do not open the package until the paper is needed for actual use.
Store paper in places as shown below:
-
Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place
-
On a flat surface
-
Temperature: 20℃, Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity)
Do not store paper in the places as shown below:
-
Placing directly on the floor
-
Where paper is exposed to direct sunlight
-
Near the inside of an exterior wall
-
On an uneven surface
-
Where static electricity may be generated
-
Where temperature excessively rises high and temperature rapidly changes
-
Near a printer, air conditioner, heater, or duct
Note
Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long period. Doing so may result in printing problems.
