PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

Use paper within these parameters:

•

•

Lightest: 16-pound or 65 gsm bond

Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm index.

Note: It is recommended that you use 24-pound paper with MICR applications, or paper specified by your local banking regulatory authority.

Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics:

•

•

•

•

•

Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7 percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.

Smooth surface

Moisture-resistant wrapping

No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)

Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper).

Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge (except 11 by 17-inch or A3 paper). When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.

Special stocks Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special materials:

•

•

•

Labels — Must be the type designed for high-speed printers and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.

Use only the processor feeding trays (trays 1 and 2) for labels. Load labels in the tray with the label side up.

You can direct printed labels to any output tray. Be sure the printed labels are stacked face up in the output tray, to avoid ink offsetting and jams due to delamination.

Transparencies — Must be the type designed for high-speed printers and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.

Load transparencies with the opaque strip to the right. All printed transparencies are delivered to the sample tray.

As long as they meet your printer’s paper specifications, you can also use:

Tinted paper — Available in a variety of colors, it has many uses, including calling attention to certain printed material, separating special sections, or dividing chapters of a report.

•

•

Preprinted paper — May be letterhead, forms, or logos.

Predrilled paper — Has a varying number of holes for use in binders or binder rings. Before loading predrilled paper, fan it to remove loose plugs that could cause paper jams. Load predrilled paper in the printer with holes to the right.
