Handling Paper MP tray Youkei 2 Youkei 4 Custom Size Cassette or MP tray Size 114 × 162mm 16 kai 197mm × 273mm 105 × 235mm Cassette: 148 to 216mm × 210 to 356mm (5-13/16 to 8-1/2 inches × 8-1/4 to 14 inches) MP tray: 70 to 216mm × 148 to 356mm (2-13/16 to 8-1/2 inches × 5-13/16 to 14 inches) Smoothness The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.) Basis weight Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing. The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 105 g/m² (16 and 28 lb/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 200 g/m² (16 and 53 lb/ ream) for the MP tray. Paper Weight Equivalence Table The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the standard weight. U. S.
