Paper facts Paper runability criteria Use the following criteria to avoid paper jams and to assure high image quality: • Use 24 pound/90 gsm xerographic or dual purpose MICR bond paper. The paper should have the following characteristics: - Low moisture content (below 5.3 per cent) - Built-in curl control - Smooth surface (smoother than most offset or bond papers) - No mechanical defects - Moisture-proof wrapping • Correct temperature and humidity are also important. Refer to the "Temperature and humidity conditions," earlier in this chapter. Your service representative can verify that the MICR printing system is adjusted within design tolerances. If a paper runability problem persists, consider changing: • The ream, carton, or request paper from a different lot • Your type, weight, or brand of paper • The conditions under which the paper is stored • The temperature or humidity of the printer environment • The time elapsed between unwrapping and printing Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide 3-11

Paper runability criteria
Use the following criteria to avoid paper jams and to assure high
image quality:
Use 24 pound/90 gsm xerographic or dual purpose MICR
bond paper. The paper should have the following
characteristics:
Low moisture content (below 5.3 per cent)
Built-in curl control
Smooth surface (smoother than most offset or bond
papers)
No mechanical defects
Moisture-proof wrapping
Correct temperature and humidity are also important. Refer
to the “Temperature and humidity conditions,” earlier in this
chapter.
Your service representative can verify that the MICR printing
system is adjusted within design tolerances. If a paper runability
problem persists, consider changing:
The ream, carton, or request paper from a different lot
Your type, weight, or brand of paper
The conditions under which the paper is stored
The temperature or humidity of the printer environment
The time elapsed between unwrapping and printing
