Other Paper Properties
Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.
Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper jams.
Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls
upward a little. To produce flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine can correct their
curling.
Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper
must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the Output Tray.
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper,
brighter appearance.
Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed
edges and corners can cause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take
considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained
from a reputable supplier is usually correctly packaged.
Specially treated paper: We do not recommend printing onto the following types of paper, even if it conforms to the basic
specifications. When you use these kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a sample to test.
• Glossy paper
• Watermarked paper
• Paper with an uneven surface
• Perforated paper
