2.2Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the major considerations for selecting the right printing paper.

2.2.1Guidelines

Paper conditions

Do not use paper with folded edges, curls, warps, smudges, tears, or embossing. Also do not use paper containing lint, clay, or paper debris. Using such paper may cause illegible printing, misfeeds, paper jams, etc., and shorten the product life of the printer. Never use paper with surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper surface should be as smooth and even as possible.

Paper composition

Do not use paper with surface-coating or containing plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing causes such paper to emit toxic fumes.

Bond paper should have at least an 80 % pulp content. The percentage of cotton and other fibers should not exceed 20 %.

Paper sizes

Table 2-2lists the standard paper sizes and dimensions. Note that certain paper sizes are available only for MP tray feeding (as remarked) and face-up tray delivering. For details on using MP tray, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.1 MP Tray Mode on page 3-48.

The dimensional tolerances for these paper sizes are ±0.7

mm(±0.0276 inches) for both length and width of paper. The corner angles must be 90 ±0.2 °.
