Paper

For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.

When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. See Loading the trays and Loading the multipurpose feeder for detailed loading instructions.
