10 Specifications Guidelines for Using Paper For the best result, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package. The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the machine: Symptom Problem with Paper Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems with feeding Too moist, too rough, too smooth or embossed; faulty paper lot Try another kind of paper, between 100 ~ 400 Sheffield, 4 ~ 5 % moisture content. Dropout, jamming, curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping. Increased gray background shading/ printer wear Too heavy Use lighter paper. Excessive curl problems with feeding Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction Use long-grain paper. Jamming, damage to machine Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper. NOTE: • Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. • Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. • The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).
