Guidelines
The paper should be of good quality, free of cuts, nicks, tears,
spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent
edges. The use of good quality paper ensures good image
transfer and toner fixing without excessive curl. It is
recommended that you test a particular paper, prior to large
purchases, to determine if the performance is acceptable. This
section contains guidelines for you to follow when selecting
print material to be used with your printer.
Print material that does not meet the suggested guidelines may:
Increase paper jams
Cause unnecessary wear in the printer
Degrade print quality
Increase service costs
The printer uses plain paper in weights of 16 to 24 pound
(60 to 90 g/m
²
). For optimum printer performance, 20 pound or
75 g/m
²
paper is recommended. Use conventional white
xerographic paper for most printing applications.
