Paper Composition
Use paper made from 100% chemical wood pulp. Paper that contains mechanically- pulped wood or cotton is not recommended due to natural impurities, such as CaCO3, that can contaminate the surface of the photoconductor, thereby decreasing the life of the photoconductor and/or the fuser.
Do not use coated paper containing material that will melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or release hazardous emissions when exposed to high temperatures.
CAUTION!
Do not use paper that contains CaCO3 as it can drastically reduce fuser life.
Paper Cut
Paper cut is another significant factor affecting printer performance. The cut sheet is produced by cutting a larger stack of paper. If a dull cutter is used, the paper will have ragged edges, or what is called a “burr.” This burr can cause such problems as paper jam, multiple feed, and large amounts of paper dust.

Paper Friction
The frictional properties of paper are very important for reliable paper picking. Improper friction properties can cause poor pick up and
