The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond
paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it
can also accept a variety of other types of paper 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. Using the wrong pa-
per can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor print
quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage
the printer. The guidelines given below will increase the pro-
ductivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free
printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of ma-
chines. 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
jams 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 can-
not produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is
used. Low-priced paper is not economical 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 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m

).
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifica-
tions. Details are given on the following pages.
Minimum and maximum paper sizes
The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For
non standard paper such as cut-sheet, the MP (multi-pur-
pose) tray must be used.
