Selecting prepunched paper
Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing techniques.
Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper:
•Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre- punched paper.
•Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer.
•Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard paper.
•Weight guidelines for prepunched paper are the same as for nonpunched paper.
