Fiber content

Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.

For detailed information on paper with recycled fiber content, see “Using recycled paper” on page 65.

Unacceptable paper

Test results indicate that the following paper types are at risk for use with laser printers:

Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers

Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the paper

Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser

Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise location on the page) greater than ± 2.3 mm (± 0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.)

Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers

Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European testing)

Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)

Multiple part forms or documents

Selecting paper

Using appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure trouble-free printing.

To help avoid jams and poor print quality:

Always use new, undamaged paper.

Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on the paper package.

Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.

Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same source; mixing results in jams.

Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead

Use these guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead:

Use grain long for 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb) paper.

Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not. When in doubt, contact the paper supplier.
