Paper and specialty media guidelines Weight The printer trays can automatically feed paper weights up to 90 g/m (24 lb bond) grain long paper. The manual feeder can automatically feed paper weights up to 163 g/m (43 lb bond) grain long paper. Paper lighter than 60 g/m (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams.
Page 127: Selecting Paper
Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper (20–100% post-consumer waste) and a variety of test paper from around the world, using chamber tests for different temperature and humidity conditions. Lexmark has found no reason to discourage the use of today's recycled office papers, but generally the following property guidelines apply to recycled paper.
