Chapter 2 Handling Paper This chapter explains the following topics: • General Guidelines • Special Paper • Paper Type • How to Load Paper 1. General Guidelines The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. NOTE The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used. Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the printer. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer. 1.1 Paper Availability Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the printer. There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect. Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the printer's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems. Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20, and 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m2). 1.2 Paper Specifications The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages.

Handling Paper

This chapter explains the following topics:

• General Guidelines

• Special Paper

• Paper Type

• How to Load Paper

The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond

paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it

can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the

limits specified below.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that

occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong pa-

per can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor print

quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage

the printer. The guidelines given below will increase the pro-

ductivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free

printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of ma-

chines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be

used with the printer.

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard,

and premium. The most significant difference between grades

is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is

affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the

paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the

grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper

jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality

your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also

affect the printer’s performance. A high-quality printer can-

not produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is

used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it

causes printing problems.

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights

(defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20,

and 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifica-

tions. Details are given on the following pages.

Minimum and maximum paper sizes

The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For

non standard paper such as cut-sheet, the MP (multi-pur-

pose) tray must be used.
