Handling Paper
ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-5
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 can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a
gray background effect.)
Basis weight
Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter
(g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper
jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper,
namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print
quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 105 g/m² (16 and 28
lb/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 200 g/m² (16 and 53 lb/
ream) for the MP tray.
