The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can also
accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.
NOTE:
The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur
when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result
in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme
cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase
the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and
reducing wear and tear on the machine.
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper
intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and
premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with
which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the smoothness,
size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is
cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of
paper jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your
printed output will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the
machine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality
results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not economical
in the long run if it causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later).
The traditional standard weights are 60 to 105 g/m² (16 to 28lb).
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are
given on the following pages.
