General Guidelines
4-4
Paper Size
Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the
table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for
the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or
sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too
smooth, however, can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.
(Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Basis Weight
Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the
traditional system, the standard quantity is a ream consisting of 500
sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the metric system the standard
quantity is 1 square meter.
Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and
premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause multiple
feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality
problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105 g/m
2
for the paper cassette, and
60 to 200 g/m
2
for the MP tray.
