Selecting the Right Paper
Electrostatic properties
During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the output tray.
Quality control
Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. Pay particular attention to these considerations if you are choosing paper yourself.
Packaging
Select paper that is wrapped by the ream and then placed in a box. The best wrapping is one whose inner surface is coated to protect again humidity.
Specially treated paper
We recommend that you avoid using paper listed below which has been specially treated, even if it meets basic specifications. If you wish to use such paper, test a sample on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory before purchasing.
