Do not use paper with a coloredcoating that was added after the paper was produced.• Preprinted forms must be printed with non-flammable,heat resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or releasehazardous emissions when subject to the printer’sapproximately 392°F (200°C) fusing temperature for 0.1second.• Paper weights of 16-36 lbs are supported.EnvelopeSpecificationsChoose envelopes that are well-constructed.
