Paper Selection

B.1. General Guidelines

The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can accept a variety of other types of paper as well within the lim- *its specified below.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.

Selection of the right paper is important. The wrong paper can result in jams, misfeeds, curl, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the printer. The guide- lines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the printer.

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most signifi- cant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is af- fected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jam and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the printer’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low -priced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20, and 24 pounds (60g/m2 to 90g/m2 ).
