General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.
Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble- free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.
Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the machine. This is affected 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 jams 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 machine's performance. A
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 31.9b).
