  • The printed side of the paper may occasionally be scratched or stained with toner depending on the paper and the conditions of the machine's environment.

  • Print quality over fold lines might be reduced. This is due to cracking within the fused toner. Loss of surface along fold lines can also occur with some types of paper. To avoid possible wastage, print a single test sheet before beginning a print run.
