Paper Guidelines
Always use new, undamaged paper. To avoid paper jams or poor
print quality:
•
Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
•
Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same paper
source since mixing results in paper jams.
•
Do not use coated papers.
•
Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you
use a source that does not support auto size sensing.
•
Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper
Weight settings are correct.
Recommended Papers
To ensure the best print quality, use 75
g/m
2
(20 lb) xerographic
paper. Business papers designed for general business use may also
provide acceptable print quality.
It is always recommended to print several samples on the type of
paper you are considering before buying large quantities. When
choosing any papers, consider the weight, fiber content, and color
of the paper.
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of
212
o
C (414
o
F). Use only papers that are able to withstand these
temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing
hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to
determine whether the paper you’ve chosen is acceptable for laser
printers.
Preprinted Forms and Letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and
letterhead paper for the printer:
•
Use grain long papers for best results.
