Selecting Paper and Media 6–3
Note the following media guidelines.
Check that the media meets all specifications
noted in this chapter.
Order a small quantity to test with your printer
and your work environment. Some paper ven-
dors offer print quality guarantees to insure that
the output meets a predetermined standard when
used with laser printers. If you don’t like the
paper, you may be able to return it for another
type — but test that one, too.
Tell both the supplies buyer and the prospective
seller that you are using this media in a laser
printer.
Paper manufactured from 100% chemical wood pulp
containing no more than 25% cotton fiber is recom-
mended. Paper should be dust-free and have cleanly
cut edges. Do not use wrinkled, curled, or damp
paper; it often causes misfeeds, paper jams, and
illegible output.
Most writing paper has two sides: top, often called
the “felt” side, and bottom, or “wire” side. The
package label generally has an indicator arrow
showing you how to load paper so that output goes to
the wire side.
NEC tested Xerox® 4024™ (20 lb.) paper and
obtained satisfactory results. Generally, paper
manufactured for photocopying has good print
quality and paper handling characteristics.
