The process used to fuse (fix) the printed image to the paper involves a mixture of pressure
and heat. Too much heat will cause lightweight paper to crease or curl and corrugations in
transparencies. Too little heat will cause the image not to fuse fully into heavyweight paper.
Using the control panel on your printer, you can choose:
>
which paper to use
>
the size of the paper you wish to use
>
the weight of the paper (thickness)
>
the type of paper
