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 120 g/m² (16 and 32 lb/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and
220 g/m² (16 and 59 lb/ream) for the MP tray.
