Handling Paper 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: Cassette: 60 to 120 g/m2 MP tray: 60 to 220 g/m2 PF-500 (optional): 60 to 120 g/m2 PF-510 (optional): 60 to 220 g/m2 Paper Weight Equivalence Table The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m²).

Handling Paper
1-5
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:
Cassette: 60 to 120 g/m
2
MP tray: 60 to 220 g/m
2
PF-500 (optional): 60 to 120 g/m
2
PF-510 (optional): 60 to 220 g/m
