GGrraaiinn ddiirreeccttiioonn
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long,
running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60–105g/m
2
(16–28-lb) paper, grain long paper is recommended.

Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This
content provides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems
and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.

The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
• Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than
±2.3 mm (±0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on
these forms.
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
• Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers
• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb)
• Multiple-part forms or documents

• Use grain long paper.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
• Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based
generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
• Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large
quantities. This action determines whether the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead affects
print quality.
• When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
• When printing on letterhead, load the paper in the proper orientation for your printer. For more
information, see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.
