About Paper
The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in 
the fax machine. You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy 
paper, transparencies and envelopes.  We recommend testing various papers 
before purchasing large quantities.  For best results, use the recommended 
paper. 
To ensure the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the 
Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.
