Paper requirements

Your fax supports A4-, letter-, and legal-size paper in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, or typical letterhead. Your fax does not require special ink jet paper.

Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges. Look at the label on the package to see if the paper has a preferred side for printing.

You can stack the following paper in the multi-purpose tray.

Size (W	× L)	Weight	Quantity

A4 (210	× 297 mm/8.27 × 11.69 in.)	64-90 g/m2	Approx. 100 sheets*

Letter (215.9 × 279.4 mm/8.5 × 11 in.)
