The following sections explain the basic things to look for when selecting paper. Keep these things in
mind when selecting paper.
Avoid using paper that is folded at the corners, curled, dirty, stained, has a rough cut, fuzzy fibers,
rough surface or is easily torn.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can
shorten the life of the printer. Select paper which has as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Note that use of paper with a surface coating or other surface treatement may damage the drum or
fuser unit.
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, and may damage the drum.
Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the total paper content should
consist of cotton or other fibers.
