Stiffness
Paper that is too limp or too stiff may fold or bend inside the printer, resulting in a paper jam.
Curl
Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction or the other if it is stored unwrapped.
Paper will curl slightly upward when it passes through the fuser unit. Load the paper with its
natural curl downward so that it will come out flat.
Electrostatic properties
During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper
must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the output tray.
Quality control
Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and
crushed edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. Pay particular
attention to these considerations if you are choosing paper yourself.
Packaging
Select paper that is wrapped by the ream and then placed in a box. The best wrapping is one
whose inner surface is coated to protect again humidity.
