Selecting paper
PPaappeerr gguuiiddeelliinneess
Use the appropriate paper to prevent jams and help ensure trouble-free printing.
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is
usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before
printing on them.
WWeeiigghhtt
The tray can feed paper weights from 60 to 105g/m
2
(16 to 28 lb) grain long paper. Paper lighter
than 60g/m
2
(16lb) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, and may cause jams.
CCuurrll
Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems.
Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures.
Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions can contribute to paper curling before
printing and can cause feeding problems.
SSmmooootthhnneessss
Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly.
If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. We recommend the use of
paper with 50 Sheffield points.
MMooiissttuurree ccoonntteenntt
The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the printer ability to feed the paper
correctly. Leave paper in its original wrapper until you use it. Exposure of paper to moisture changes
can degrade its performance.
Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before
printing. Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different
from the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
