Size. Choose any size paper that fits easily within the paper guides of the printer.

Weight. Use 20~24-pound or 75~90 g/m2 plain paper for multipurpose, everyday use.

Brightness. Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant colors. Use white paper for documents with pictures.

Surface smoothness. The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper. Glossy, coated paper works well for pictures and charts where you want crisp lines.

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 392° F (200° C) for 0.1 seconds without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s approximately 392° F (200° C) fusing temperature for 0.1 seconds.

Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
