Loading Paper

General Guidelines
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.
Paper Availability
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 machine
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
120 g/m² (16 to 31.9b).
