If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper,
check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the printer:
Paper Specifications
Paper Output Capacity
Printer and Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it
absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems
and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather
or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts.
Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and
moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage,
especially
if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier
.
Symptom
Problem with paper
Solution
Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems
with feeding
Too moist, too rough, too smooth or embossed;
faulty paper lot
Try another kind of paper, between 100-400
Sheffield, 4%-5% moisture content.
Dropout, jamming, curl
Stored improperly
Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping.
Increased gray background shading/printer wear Too heavy
Use lighter paper, or use the rear cover.
Excessive curl problems with feeding
Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain
construction
•
Use the rear cover.
•
Use long-grain paper.
Jamming, damage to printer
Cutouts or perforations
Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations.
Problems with feeding
Ragged edges
Use good quality paper.
NOTE:
Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
NOTE:
Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
NOTE:
The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible
with this fusing temperature (180° C or 356°
F for 0.1 second).
