Paper runability criteria

Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
Use the following criteria to avoid paper jams and to assure high
image quality:
• Use 24 pound/90 gsm xerographic or dual purpose MICR
bond paper. The paper should have the following
characteristics:
– Low moisture content (below 5.3 per cent)
– Built-in curl control
– Smooth surface (smoother than most offset or bond
papers)
– No mechanical defects
– Moisture-proof wrapping
• Correct temperature and humidity are also important. Refer
to the "Temperature and humidity conditions," earlier in this
chapter.
Your service representative can verify that the MICR printing
system is adjusted within design tolerances. If a paper runability
problem persists, consider changing:
• The ream, carton, or request paper from a different lot
• Your type, weight, or brand of paper
• The conditions under which the paper is stored
• The temperature or humidity of the printer environment
• The time elapsed between unwrapping and printing
