Before You Purchase a Large Quantity of Paper
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the printer.

Paper for Plain Paper Copies
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying.
The usage is usually shown on the paper’s package. Check the package to
see whether it is suitable for laser printers. You must use paper that is
suitable for laser printers.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Basis Weight
The basis weight of the paper for general use varies in different countries.
We recommend that you use paper that weighs 75 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 (20 to
24 lb.), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than
these weights.

Long Grain and Short Grain
Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We
recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper
is too weak to be carried through the printer.
