Print Media Types and Weights
Print Media Guidelines
Print media refers to paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting
the appropriate print media for your printer helps you avoid printing problems.
Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before
buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. See
Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray
and
Using the Bypass Tray
for detailed loading instructions.
Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Use the following guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
Weight
The printer automatically feeds paper weights from 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 lb bond) grain long in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and from 60 to 90
g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long in the paper tray. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best
performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) long grain paper.
For duplex printing, use 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb bond) paper.
