Using Print Materials Using Your Printer Paper Guidelines Always use new, undamaged paper. To avoid paper jams or poor print quality: • Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself. • Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same paper source since mixing results in paper jams. • Do not use coated papers. • Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size sensing. • Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. Recommended Papers To ensure the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business papers designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality. It is always recommended to print several samples on the type of paper you are considering before buying large quantities. When choosing any papers, consider the weight, fiber content, and color of the paper. The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 212oC (414oF). Use only papers that are able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you've chosen is acceptable for laser printers. Preprinted Forms and Letterhead Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer: • Use grain long papers for best results. 128 Using Print Materials
