Media guidelines

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when
evaluating new paper stock.
Weight—The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 300 g/m
•
long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m
performance, use 75 g/m
in.), we recommend 90 g/m
Notes:
– The duplex unit supports only 60–169 g/m
The multipurpose feeder supports 60–300 g/m
–
Curl—Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding
•
problems. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high
temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions, even in the trays, can
contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.
Smoothness—Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it
•
properly. If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper
between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 200 Sheffield points
produces the best print quality.
