APPENDIX Long grain and short grain The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacture. What we call long grain paper is paper where the fiber is [bp1]parallel to the paper carriage direction of the paper. Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain. Long grain paper's fiber direction is parallel to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain paper's fiber direction is vertical to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper carriage of the printer. Acid paper and neutralized paper Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper. Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, recently neutralized paper is taking the place of acid paper because of environment or preservation issues. However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend that you use neutralized paper for this printer. You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper. Print surface The characteristics may differ a little between the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper. Usually, the opening side of the ream of paper package is the print side. Follow any indication of the print side on the paper package. Typically, the paper side is indicated with an arrow. A-7
