Paper Selection
B.1. General Guidelines
The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier
machines), but it can accept a variety of other types of paper as well within the limits specified below.
☛ The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these
requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. The wrong paper can result in jams, misfeeds, curl, poor print qual-
ity, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the printer. The guidelines given below will increase
the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the
printer.
Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can
also be used with the printer.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant difference
between grades is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is affected by the smoothness, size,
and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you
use, the less risk there will be of paper jam and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your
printed output will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the printer's performance. A high-quality
printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not econom-
ical in the long run if it causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights
are 16, 20, and 24 pounds (60g/m² to 90g/m²).
