Selecting the Right Paper
Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the
paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high-
quality printing paper matching the printer's requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the
printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copy consistently.
Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors to consider when selecting paper for the printer
are as follows:
Condition of the Paper
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or
paper shreds
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten
the life of the printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. The
paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Composition
Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing
can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the total paper content should consist
of cotton or other fibers.
Paper Size
Cassettes and a MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in Table B.2. The dimensional tolerances are
±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
