About Paper
Your print quality depends in large part on the quality of the paper.
You can get sharper contrast on printed pages by using special laser
printer paper, which is available from a variety of paper manufactur-
ers. This paper is thicker, smoother, and whiter than copier paper and
gives your page a more professional appearance.
The printer accommodates paper from 16 to 24 pounds (60 to 90
g/m
2
) with cassette feed and 16 to 36 pounds (60 to 135 g/m
2
) with
manual feed. Conventional copier paper is adequate for most applica-
tions. Copier paper has a smooth, clean surface, controlled electrical
properties, and heat stability. This assures good image transfer with-
out excessive curling of the paper.
You can use special paper, such as bond paper, often used for statio-
nery, for special applications. However, textured paper may result in
uneven toner placement and print quality may vary. You may want to
do a test run before printing a large quantity. Colored paper may also
be used, but not paper with a colored coating applied. Appendix B,
“Technical Specifications,” contains additional paper specifications.
Paper Sizes
Your printer supports four different paper sizes. It automatically
detects which size paper cassette is installed and judges the paper
size accordingly; letter-size paper in a legal-size cassette does not
work. Be sure to match the paper size to the appropriate paper cas-
sette. You may purchase additional paper cassettes from your QMS
vendor.
