100-250.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can
cause it to wrinkle or curl.

hazardous emissions when heated to 200ºC (392ºF) for
0.1 second.
• Avoid printing on both sides of the paper or preprinted
documents that have been in a photocopier.
• Try paper before you buy it in quantity.
Transparencies/Adhesive Labels

• Should be specifically made for laser printers or
photocopiers.

of the printer.
