Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting
the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This
section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the
print media in the standard 250-sheet tray.

2
(20 lb) xerographic, grain long
