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.
Multiple-part forms or documents
Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)
Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers
Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
•
•
•
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)
•
In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.
Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
•
•
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm (±0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
For 60–176 g/m2 (16–47 lb bond) paper, grain long paper is recommended. For paper heavier than 176 g/m2, grain short is recommended.
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 and other office papers” on page 91.
Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper

•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.

Using recycled paper and other office papers

As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. In 1998, Lexmark presented to the US government a study demonstrating that recycled paper produced by major mills in the US fed as well as non-recycled paper. However, no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well.
