Important information for choosing your paper This section provides information to help you choose paper to use with this printer. Before you purchase a large quantity of paper Make sure the paper is suitable for the printer. Paper for plain paper copies Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually specified on the paper's package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable for laser printers. Use paper that is suitable for laser printers. Basis weight The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend that you use paper that weighs 75 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than these weights. Unit g/m2 lb Europe 80 to 90 USA 75 to 90 20 to 24 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 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 print side is indicated by an arrow.
