Appendix
Important information for choosing your paper
The information in this section will help you choose paper to use with this machine.
Note
If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the machine.
Before you buy a large quantity of paper
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the machine.
Paper for plain paper copies
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually written on the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable for inkjet printers. Use paper that is suitable for inkjet printers.
Basis weight | A |
The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend that you use paper
that weighs 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2), although this machine is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than these weights.
Long grain and short grain
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. And paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain.
Long grain paper fibers run in the same direction as the long edge of the paper. Short grain paper fibers run perpendicular to the long edge of the paper. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend that you use long grain paper for this machine. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper transport of the machine.
Print surface
The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.
Usually, the opening side of the paper ream package is the print side. Follow the instructions on the paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.
