About Paper
3-4 Print Media
is available from a variety of paper manufacturers. This paper is
thicker, smoother, and whiter than copier paper and gives your page a
more professional appearance. Textured paper may cause uneven
results.
Paper Weight and Type
The printer accommodates 13 to 45 lb (50 to 170 g/m 2 ) paper. Con-
ventional copier paper is suitable for most applications. Copier paper
has a smooth surface, controlled electrical properties, heat stability,
and cleanliness. This ensures satisfactory image transfer without
excessive curl.
If you want to, you may also use special paper for specific applica-
tions. Bond papers (often used for stationery) generally have a water-
mark and often use cotton rather than wood fiber. Colored paper may
also be used, but avoid using paper with a colored coating applied
after the paper is made.
