Paper Thickness
Paper thickness is given by the weight of the paper in either grams per square meter (g/m
2
) or in
pounds per bond (lbs/bond). The following table shows the allowable paper thickness for
one-part paper or for each sheet of multipart paper.
The weight of carbonless or carbon-backed paper may vary, depending on the paper
manufacturer. When using paper of borderline thickness, test the paper before running a job.
