Chapter 4

Print media characteristics affect print quality and reliability.
When you choose print media, consider the following:

Weight

The printer automatically feeds paper weights from 20 lbs

to 24 Ibs.

Surface Smoothness

The degree of smoothness of the paper affects print quality.
If the paper is too rough, the ink may not adhere to the
paper properly, resulting in poor print quality.

Moisture Content

The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print
quality and paper feeding reliability.

Always test a sample of paper before purchasing
large quantities.

Using media that does not conform to the
specifications listed in the paper specifications
can cause problems that require service.
