Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.

Condition

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or
contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper jams, and
can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface
coating or other surface treatment. Paper should have as smooth and even a surface
as possible.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or
carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 % of the total paper
content should consist of cotton or other fibers.
